Biosorption capacity of zinc (II) by biomasses produced from four species of microorganism including two kinds of bacteria (Pseudomonas putida and Streptomyces rimosus) and two kinds of fungi ( Aspergillus niger and Phanerochate chrysosporium) in batch case were investigated and compared. In all cases dried original bio mass and dried pretreated bio mass with NaOH were used. In all cases biosorption capacity of pretreated biomasses were much higher than non-treated biuomasses to the ratio of 3.8 – 1.4 times. Freundlich and Langmuir equilibrium isotherms were used to match with experimental results of this research. Except S.rimosus, all others were completely matched with Langmuir... 

Leachate migration from solid waste landfills into the subsurface environment is one of the significant problems of landfills. This can cause lots of problems for local soil and water to sources according to the contaminants appear in the leachate. Usually, landfill sites include at least one compact clay liner to prevent contamination of groundwater by produced leachate. Over the last decades investigators have been attracted to the structure and removal capacity of this liner. In this study, the effect of the addition of Zeolite to Kaolinite soil for the removal of heavy metal (manganese and zinc) from landfill leachate and the effect of decreasing the thickness of the soil layer has been... 

Addition of heavy metal cations such as manganese and nickel in low zinc phosphating bath increases the corrosion resistance of coatings and provides more suitable substrates for painting (especially electrophoretic painting). In addition, due to accelerating property and low cost availability of heavy metal cations such as Mn, multi– cationic phosphating is cost effective. In the present study, chemical composition and operating parameters of zinc - calcium - manganese Tri- cationic phosphating solution were optimized. Then the effects of various parameters such as phosphating time, bath temperature and pH on properties of coating were investigated. According to the results, about 1 g/L was... 

In this project, nonocrystalline zinc coatings with grain sizes within the range of 22-63 nanometers were produced on yellow-brass plates by electroplating in an acidic chloride bath in the presence and absence of additive has been investigated.current densities and bath stirring speeds change from 2 to 6 A/dm2 and 0 to 400 rpm respectively.To determine crystallite size, X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) was utilized;it was found that the use of additive has effectively refined the grain size and optimum current density is 3 A/dm2 to reach this objective.. it was observed that grain size increased continuously with increase in bath stirring speed. The results coming from XRD tests were... 

The Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) quaternary compound, with suitable optical and electrical properties, is one of the most interesting materials for absorber layer of thin film solar cell. Since all constituents of CZTS, are abundant in earth’s crust and non-toxic, it is a proper replacement for the materials like CdTe and CuInSe2. The CZTS pellet was synthesized by the solid-state reaction and deposited on soda lime glass substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. PLD technique has the advantages of offering stoichiometric preservation during the materials transformation from target to substrate and good crystallinity due to the highly energetic species. CZTS has was deposited in order to... 

In this study, four parameters were investigated including temperature, inlet flow rate, gas composition (oxygen) and particle size on the roasting of Bama company zinc sulfide concentrate in Fluidized bed reactor. Initially, primary sample was heated in electric furnace at 125℃ for 24 hours until the moisture content dried. Then roasting operation was done at 700 and 900℃. The operation was carried out on three range of particle size including 300-500, 500-700 and 700-1000 microns and flow rate was greater than the minimum flow rate of Fluencing. To investigate the effect of flow rate and gas composition input, 500-700 micron particle size range was selected. The effect of 155, 172 and 188... 

An isopropanol supercritical reducing environment was prepared by fabricating a high temperature, high pressure autoclave, in order to make a hybridized structure of zinc oxide and graphene oxide, entitled as ZnO-G. In this novel structure, the oxygen acts as bridging element between zinc and carbon, that connects a wide band gap semiconductor to a narrow banded one. The hybridization mechanism is studied by FTIR analysis, and morphology is shown by FE-SEM. The micrographs obtained from the thin film show a stacked pile of ZnO-G disks, like a button, dispersed on a crack free layer. In addition, the crystallographic structure was revealed by comparing low angle X-ray diffraction patterns to... 

The aim of this project is to fabricate and study heterogeneous CaO-based nanocatalysts with lithium and zinc enhancers for the esterification reaction of rapeseed oil and methanol to produce biodiesel as a renewable and alternative fuel for fossil fuels. Is.

The multilayer coating (Zn-Ni)1/(Zn-Ni)2 is deposited from a single bath with a zincate-sulfate compound and by changing the current density. The effect of current density and the number of layers on the chemical composition, surface morphology, roughness, phase structure, and corrosion resistance of multilayer coatings respectively using atomic absorption spectroscopy, FE-SEM microscope, roughness tests, X-ray analysis, and electrochemical techniques such as Tafel polarization and impedance was investigated and compared with single-layer coatings. Because the amount of nickel in the composition of the coatings is less than 27%, in all the studied currents, the deposition is anomalous. The...
