Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensification Behaviour of a Red Firing Tunisian Triassic ClayHajer Baccour, Mounir Medhioub, Fakher Jamoussi, Taher. MhiriInvestigations were undertaken to assess the thermal modification in clay products from Triassic sedimentary deposits. This study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical, thermal analysis and faience making attributes of representative Triassic clay in the south-Eastern Tunisia. The data collected from these techniques show that illite and kaolinite are the major clay phases. The accessory minerals detected in powdered rock are; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,109 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Fig (Ficus carica) Leaf Extract on the Secretion and Content of Cholesterol in Hepg2 CellAhmad Fatemi, Ali Rasouli, Farzad AsadiTraditional medicines remain a source of potential for discovering of new compounds with valuable pharmacological activities. Leaves of Ficus carica were dried, powdered and extracted using methanol (ME).An aliquot of ME was dried and re-extracted by water:chloroform and the other aliquot by water: peteruleum ether. Effect of aqueous fractions of the former (ACR; 0.08, 0.1 and 0.13 mg dL-1), the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,420 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFoundry Wastes Reuse and Recycling in Concrete ProductionSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiThe industrial process of a cast iron foundry plant located in the North of Italy was analyzed in order to determine the amount and kind of produced wastes. The main fractions are core and moulding sands, muds and powders from dust abatement plants, furnace and ladle slags, and exhaust lime, making about 750-800 t/d of residues for a production of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,952 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Saturation Induction for Bi-Substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet Prepared Via Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Goh Kah HeanY3.0-xBixFe5O12 samples (x = 0.2 and 0.4) were prepared via novel sol-gel and conventional solid-state techniques. The effect of bismuth in both techniques was investigated in terms of shrinkage, density, hysteresis and initial permeability. Sharp and clear diffraction XRD lines with highest peak appear at about 32° of the 2θ¸, for all the powders sintered at 900°C and 1250°C for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,594 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDye Removal from Aqueous Solution by using Adsorption on Treated Sugarcane BagasseS. Saiful Azhar, A. Ghaniey Liew, D. Suhardy et al.The use of cheap and ecofriendly adsorbents has been studied as an alternative substitution of activated carbon for the removal dyes from wastewater. Adsorbents prepared from sugarcane baggase-an agro industries waste was successfully used to remove the methyl red from an aqueous solution in a batch reactor. This study investigates the potential use of sugarcane baggase, pretreated with formaldehyde (PCSB) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 9,345 accessesView PDF Cite
