This paper discusses different important gas permeation models such as “Maxwell”, “Bruggeman”, “Lewis-Neilson”, and “Pal” models to predict “Mixed Matrix Membranes” (MMMs) performance. The main parameter considered and discussed is the permeability of Hydrogen on Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)-MMM. For evaluation of the theoretical models, experimental data of permeability for H2 were compared to the theoretical […]
The study reports some preliminary investigations on the template free synthesis of a scantly investigated polyaniline (PANI) derivative-Phenylenediamine (PDA) by template free method in the presence of Oxalic acid (OA) (dopant), using Ammonium Persulfate as oxidant. Polymerization of Phenylenediamine (PDA) was confirmed by the FT-IR as well as UV–visible studies. The morphology of Phenylenediamine doped […]
This paper proposed analytical solutions for the buckling analysis of rectangular single-layered graphene sheets under in-plane loading on all edges simply is supported. The characteristic equations of the graphene sheets are derived and the analysis formula is based on the nonlocal Mindlin plate. This theory is considering both the small length scale effects and transverse […]
In this article, ZnO and ZnO:Mn nanoparticles prepared by reverse micelle method. The various crystalline properties of these nanoparticles such as size, d-spacing, strain, stress, dislocation density and texture coefficient have been calculated with the help of XRD spectrum. The XRD results indicated that the synthesized ZnO and ZnO:Mn nanoparticles have a pure wurtzite (hexagonal […]
The nano sized TiO2 and ZnO are the most active photocatalysts. Methylene blue was used as a reference molecule for the photocatalytic degradation. The TiO2 and ZnO can totally remove methylene blue dye. The effect of various process parameters like initial concentration, contact time, dose of catalyst and pH on the extent of removal of […]
N,N-dichloropolystyrene sulfonamide as a decontaminant was synthesized in 5 steps from styrene monomer. Styrene was first polymerized. Then, sulfonation reaction was performed by H2SO4 (c) followed by chlorination with POCl3 obtain chlorosulfonated polystyrene. Amidification reaction was then applied to get sulfonamide resin. Sulfonamide resin was treated with sodium hypochloride to obtain N,N-dichloropolystyrene product. The products […]
Nanocrystalline ZrO2 with particle size of about 38 nm was directly synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The overall process involved three steps: formation of homogeneous sol at 50-55°C; formation of dried gel at 110°C, and combustion of the dried gel at 400°C. Experiments revealed that ZrO2 dried gel derived from glycine (Fuel) and nitrate sol […]
The aim of the present study was to prepare nano-sized calcium fluoride (CaF2). Calcium fluoride nanoparticles were synthesized by CaCl2.6H2O and ammonium fluoride. Nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The synthesized nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystallite size estimated using Scherer’s formula was […]
Calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. Metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. The average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was […]
In this study the hardness SWCT was calculated with B3LYP,HF method and 3-21G,6-31G,6-311G basis set .Then it was investigated with the best method(B3LYP) and basis set(6-31G) to study the adsorption effects CO2 on the hardness of SWCNT with gap HOMO-LUMO in two shape: Horizontal, Vertical and Top-Center-Bridge and We also provide the effects of CO2 […]
