−Microsilica, one kind of industrial solid waste material, was utilized firstly to prepare a carbon-microsilica composite adsorbent (CMS). The prepared adsorbent was characterized with XPS, SEM and Gas sorption experiments. The results indicated the SO 3 H groups, which are very effective in capturing cationic organic dye, were introduced onto the surface of CMS; the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET...

Mesoporous alumina and magnesia were prepared using various polymers, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide) (PHPMA), and poly(dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAAm), as porogenic structure matrices. Mesoporous alumina exhibits large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas up to 365 m2 g−1, while mesoporous magnesium oxide possesses BET surface...

Gelation of tannin-formaldehyde (TF) solutions was systematically investigated by changing pH and concentration of TF resin in water. In this way we constructed the TF phase diagram, from which chemical hydrogels could be described, and also synthesized thermoreversible tannin-based hydrogels. Conditions of non-gelation were also determined. Hydrogels were dried in supercritical CO2, leading to...

In this work, we investigated the influence of catalyst supports, particularly Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area support materials, on membrane electrode assembly (MEA) performance. Keeping anode layer (CL), membrane, Pt loading, operating condition unchanged, prepared cathode CLs using catalysts identical content (30 wt% Pt) which were supported carbon black materials having diff...

Moisture sorption studies have been carried out on 16 low moisture foodstuffs at 27°C and based on the major type of constituent, viz starch. fat, protein and high hygroscopicity. the isotherms have been divided into four groups. The moisture sorption behaviour over 0.060.92 water activity of the foods has indicated that the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) equation is applicable generally up to 0....

Nano-sized ZnO particles of specific morphology were synthesized using the plant leaf extracts of Aloe vera. The structures, morphology, optical properties, surface area and thermal behavior of these fabricated ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Ultravioletvisible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Photoluminescence (PL)/flourescence spectro...

lta zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. the as-synthesized lta zeolite particles were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, energy di...

cobalt chromite (cocr2o4) with normal spinel structure, shows catalytic activity for oxidation of unburned methane in the natural gas vehilcles (ngv). in this study, cocr2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation technique and investigated for the catalytic combustion of methane. cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate and ammonia solution (25%) ...
