Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoating and Encapsulation of Nanoparticles using Supercritical AntisolventG. H. Chong, R. Yunus, N. Abdullah et al.Problem statement: Literature on the production of nanoparticles using supercritical fluids is substantial, but comparatively much less for nanoencapsulation. Approach: In this study, a modified Supercritical Anti Solvent (SAS) apparatus was fabricated for use in the production of nanoparticles using carbon dioxide as the supercritical fluid (SCF). SAS technique involves precipitation of solids from liquid solution under supercritical antisolvent-induced condition. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPneumatic and Hydraulic Systems in Coal Fluidized Bed CombustorZ. O. Opafunso, I. I. Ozigis, I. A. AdetundeProblem statement: This study designed the pneumatic and hydraulic systems in coal fluidized bed combustor. These are fluidization of silica sand bed material, Air distributor, centrifugal fan, electric motor power drive and surface heat exchanger. Approach: The effects of increased gas velocity on silica sand and the resultant drag force formed the basic equations in fluidization. Air distributor was introduced … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution of Biomicrofacies and Cement Types in the Changxing Formation (Upper Permian), Western Hubei-eastern Sichuan Provinces, South ChinaMutwakil Nafi, Xia WenchenThe Changxing formation is subdivided into lower, middle and upper parts. Four types of microfacies were recognized in the Changxing formation. They include SMF-3, SMF-6, SMF-7 and SMF-19. The Changxing Formation is composed of deep basin margin, platform margin and open restricted platform environments. The lower, middle and upper parts are dominated by deep basin margin facies, platform margin facies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Bioactivity of Fucoxanthin from Undaria pinnatifida in VitroYiting Li, Ye Liu, Yuepeng Wang et al.Fucoxanthin, a marine carotenoid, can be found in marine algae and some marine invertebrates, has remarkable biological properties for human health. It is known that fucoxanthin has anti-cancer activity on some human cancer cells such as human colon cancers, leukemia cells, prostate cancer cells, breast cancer cells. In this study, the fucoxanthin was extracted from Undaria pinnatifida, after purification by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 7 Jun 2016 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasalt as Pozzolana and Filler in Ordinary Portland CementH. El-Didamony, I.M. Helmy, Randa M. Osman, A.M. HabboudPozzolana is defined as a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials which in itself possess little or no cementing properties, but will in a finally divided form and in the presence of moisture react with Ca(OH)2 at ordinary temperature to form compound possessing cementious properties. Pozzolanic cement contains Portland cement as one of their main components in addition to natural … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2015 · 7,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFacile Synthesis of AgCl Hollow Nanospheres for Enhanced Photocatalytic PropertiesJing Chen, Yuling Zhao, Xinhui Liu et al.AgCl hollow nanospheres have been synthesized successfully via a hard-template approach using silica nanospheres as hard template for the first time. The phase, size and morphology of the as-prepared AgCl were investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM); which reveals that the cubic AgCl hollow nanospheres with a cell constant a = 5.549 Å are 220 nm … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 22 May 2015 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
