The effect of alkali treatment on mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of date palm fibers (DPFs): Study of the interface of DPF–Polyurethane composite

A. Oushabi, Said Sair, Fahd Oudrhiri Hassani et al. · 5 May 2017

This paper focuses on investigating the effect of alkali treatments on the bond characteristics of date palm fibers (DPFs) in a polyurethane (PU) matrix, including the bond strength, pullout energy. This kind of fiber treatment is generally used to improve the mechanical behavior of composites. Raw DPFs underwent a surface modification method by alkali treatment…

Intraparticle diffusion of Cr(VI) through biomass and magnetite coated biomass: A comparative kinetic and diffusion study

Agnes Pholosi, Eliazer Bobby Naidoo, Augustine E. Ofomaja · 29 Jan 2020

In this study, NaOH treated pine (NTP) and magnetite-pine composite (NTP-NC) were prepared and applied for Cr(VI) adsorption at varying temperatures and the impact of the inorganic-organic nanocomposite combination on the kinetics, diffusion, equilibrium and Cr(VI) uptake mechanism was determined. FE-SEM-EDX analysis of NTP-NC showed that the composite was homogeneous containing Fe, O and C…

Comparative analysis of RSM, ANN and ANFIS and the mechanistic modeling in eriochrome black-T dye adsorption using modified clay

Chijioke Elijah Onu, Joseph Tagbo Nwabanne, Paschal Enyinnaya Ohale et al. · 16 Dec 2020

The application of artificial neural network (ANN), response surface methodology (RSM), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in modeling the uptake of Eriochrome black-T (EBT) dye from aqueous solution using Nteje clay was the focus of this work. Acid activation with hydrochloric acid (HCl) was used to prepare the adsorbent while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy…

Enhancing adsorption capacity of nano-adsorbents via surface modification: A review

Milton Manyangadze, N.H.M. Chikuruwo, T. Bala Narsaiah et al. · 21 Nov 2019

In this review, the role of surface modification of nanoparticles to enhance their performance as adsorbents was explored. Performance was assessed by comparisons on adsorption capacities of differently modified nanoparticles (silica, iron, and alumina based nanoparticles) on different heavy metal ions (Cu, Cd, Co, Ni, Pb, As, Cr, Zn, Mn, and Hg). A comparison of…

Xanthium strumarium leaves extracts as a friendly corrosion inhibitor of low carbon steel in hydrochloric acid: Kinetics and mathematical studies

Anees A. Khadom, Ahmed N. Abd, Nagham A. Ahmed · 16 Nov 2017

Corrosion inhibition of low carbon steel in 1 M HCl was investigated in absence and presence of Xanthium strumarium leaves (XSL) extracts as a friendly corrosion inhibitor. The effect of temperature and inhibitor concentration was studied using weight loss method. The result obtained shown that Xanthium strumarium leaves extracts act as an inhibitor for low…

South African Journal of Chemical Engineering template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the South African Journal of Chemical Engineering format?
