This work demonstrates the one-pot, seed-free synthesis of unique flower-like Au/Pd alloy nanostructures and their self-assembly on a graphene support in an aqueous medium. The as-prepared nanostructures were characterized ...

The main elements of mother earth, like air, water, and soil, are constantly being poisoned due to inadequate waste treatment and the lack of such technologies. Few chemicals such as cyanides and phenols are not environmentally ...

A comparison of physicochemical properties of hematite ore with octyl hydroxamic acid and sodium oleate collectors has been made in order to describe the mechanism of interactions that control adsorption at the solid/liquid ...

CaO doped zirconia mullite (CaO-MUZ) samples were synthesized through plasma melting, plasma sintering, and conventional sintering using plasma reactor and high temperature furnace as the heating sources. The compositional ...

The reduction in size leads to the introduction of novel electrical, mechanical, chemical and optical properties in materials. The properties of nano ZnO are of particular interest because of its multi-dimensional applications ...

Comminution is an energy intensive process. A small change in efficiency can lead to substantial benefits in an overall economy of the process plant. This study focused on the comparison of vertical stirred mill agitator ...

A comparative study between solvent extraction and hollow fiber membrane technique has been carried out for the extraction of Mo(VI) from an aqueous sulfate solution. Effect of different parameters such as pH of feed ...

The kinetics of oxidation of ammonium sulfite using gaseous oxygen were studied in an autoclave at 373K. Kinetic equations for various catalysts such as Cu(II), Co(II) and Ag(I) were determined. The reaction rate at 373K ...

Plant nutrition is crucial in crop productivity and providing food security to the ever-expanding population. Application of chemical/biological fertilizers and pesticides are the mainstays for any agricultural economy. ...
