Admicellar polymerization is the polymerization process of monomers solubilized in adsorbed surfactant bilayer which is one of methods used for surface modification of a substrate. In this research, polyester fabric surface ...

The unique catalytic activity of supported Au catalysts for CO oxidation has been reported to depend strongly on the particle size of the Au which is related to the preparation technique and the nature of the metal oxide ...

Sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were used for producing biosurfactants by Pseudomonas aeruginosa SP4, which was isolated from a petroleum-contaminated soil in Thailand. The studied SBRs were operated at a constant temperature ...

The photocatalytic water splitting is a promising process for producing hydrogen, which is an alternative energy resource. Hydrogen can be produced from two major sources of renewable energy, i.e. water and solar light, ...

Azo compounds are an important class of synthetic dyes and are characterized by the presence of one or more azo groups (-N=N-) linked between aromatic rings. The release of this coloring agent causes wastewater problems. ...

The phase behavior of microemulsions of motor oil with alcohol ethoxylates was studied. The addition of n-butanol as a cosurfactant was found to facilitate microemulsion formation. For the alcohol ethoxylate (E03)-n-butanol-motor ...

Ethylene oxide is a valuable chemical feedstock in producing many industrial chemicals, such as ethylene glycol, solvents, antifreezes, and adhesives. Hence, the partial oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide, so-called ...

Cyclohexene oxide is an important intermediate in several chemical industries. It can be produced via partial oxidation of cyclohexene, so-called cyclohexene epoxidation. Many research works have been focused on the ...

From previous studies, Sn-promoted Pt/KL prepared by vapor-phase co-impregnation exhibited high stability and selectivity to C8-aromatics for n-octane aromatization. Although the Pt/KL has many benefits, one of the serious ...

As the utilization of biodiesel increases, glycerol is expected to be oversupplied since it is a by-product from the transesterification of vegetable oil. Therefore, it is interesting, to increase the use of glycerol by ...
