This study aims to understand the acid-leaching behavior of metals from 2 to 4 mm waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) containing 22.0% ± 1.1 Cu, 6.7% ± 0.2 Ca, 0.68% ± 0.02 Sn, 0.59 ± 0.01 % Pb, 2.71% ± 0.08 Al, 0.22% ± 0.01 Fe, etc.. Copper leaching was increased for sulfuric acid concentrations up to 1.2 mol/L and hydrogen peroxide concentrations of 10.0 vol% for a pulp density of 100 g/L at...

Sugarcane bagasse contains cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, 39-42%, 20-25% and 25-27% respectively. So it is can be used as a sugar source in many processes. Lignin and hemicellulose must be removed before hydrolysis of cellulose. Several different pretreatment approaches have been studied. The purpose of this research is comparison of acid, ozone and combination of ozone-acid as pretreatme...

Compounds of poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs), derived from imidazole with different alkylic chain lengths located in the third position of the imidazolium ring (poly(1-vinyl-3-dodecyl-imidazolium) (PImC12), poly(1-vinyl-3-octylimidazolium) (PImC₈) and poly(1-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium) (PImC₄) hexafluorophosphate) were synthesized. These compounds were tested as corrosion inhibitors on aluminum alloy ...

The ordering of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) molecules in dilute P3HT/chloroform solutions was accelerated by adding small amounts of concentrated H2SO4. The concentrated H2SO4 stimulates the nucleation of crystals, which controls the overall rate of P3HT crystallization. Dispersed nuclei spur P3HT solution crystallization, and adsorbed nuclei induce P3HT crystallization on substrates. By AFM,...

The purpose of this study was to produce microbial oil from Yarrowia lipolytica Po1g grown in defatted rice bran hydrolysate. After removing oil from rice bran by Soxhlet extraction, the bran is subjected to acid hydrolysis with various sulfuric acid concentrations (1-4% v/v), reaction times (1-8 h), and reaction temperatures (60-120°C). The optimal conditions for maximum total sugar production...

This study was conducted to improve four characteristics as objectives:（1） high current efficiency, （2） surface brightness, and （3） hardness of chromium-carbon （Cr-C） alloy layers during electrochemical deposition from Cr（III） ions, （4） reproducibility the Cr-C layer formation repeated plating with a electroplating bath. A malonic-acid-containing sulfuric acid bath （sulfuric II） prepared by add...

Via the one-pot condensation reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehydes, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, and β-naphthol; new pyrazolone derivatives were synthesized in the presence of three Brønsted acid catalysts. These Brønsted acid catalysts are Silica sulfuric acid (SSA), tetra-n-butyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate (TBAHSO4) and [2,2′-Bipyridine]-1,1′-diium tricyanomethanide {[2,2′-BPyH][C(...
