In this study some characterization tests of acidic pumice were performed using various techniques such as Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermal Analysis ...

This study presents the outcome of a research concerning the relationship between the colloidal stability of mullite powders synthesized by the USP (ultrasonic spray pyrolysis) method and its slip casting behavior. ...

In this study, electrokinetic properties of clinoptilolite have been determined. A series of systematic zeta potential measurements have been performed to determine the isoelectric point (iep) and potential determining ...

Kaolinite is a widely used additive for industrial applications. Hence, the properties of kaolinite affect the quality of the final materials. The fact that kaolinite is a heterogeneous mineral with dual charges has to ...

Adsorption mechanisms of toxic non-ionic organic contaminants (NOCs), aniline and nitrobenzene, with natural-zeolite andorgano-zeolite (OZ) were investigated in both batch and continuous systems. In batch tests, the ...

In this study, magnetite (Fe 3 O ) nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method, coated with silica, and then the surface of silica coated magnetite (Fe 4 3 O 4 @SiO ) nanoparticles was modified with ...

Having symmetrical and balanced material properties, polymer matrix composites are increasingly becoming popular due to easiness of construction and are use in the production of aerospace and automotive structures. In ...

Developments in nuclear technology in the last century have lead to the use of radiation in different areas of human activity. These are not just the energetics but also food, agriculture, medicine, industry and science. Thus, ...

The adsorption behavior of quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants with different hydrocarbon chain lengths, i.e. HDTMA (hexadecyltrimethylammonium), TDTMA (tetradecyltrimethy- lammonium) and DDTMA (dodecyltrimethylammonium), ...

The adsorption of a cationic dye, Basic Blue 16 (BB16), by montmorillonitic clay was studied in detail. Changes in the molecular structure during adsorption were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. BB16 adsorption onto ...
