Aluminum and its Alloys to Recover from Corrosive Weather
Abstract: Corrosion is defined as deterioration of material, usually metal, because of reaction with its environment and which requires presence of an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte and an electrical circuit. Aluminum and its alloys are reactive to weather of exposure, e.g. ambient, acid and alkalis. Solid to pigments are prevented from corrosion by using inhibitors. Organic inhibitors are ever praised due to non-toxic performances. Basic processes are surface adsorption to …

Implications from Mesomaterials: Recent Trend
Abstract: Mesomaterials are materials of larger surface area, specific pore volume, more active chemical sites and high chemical stability. Mesoporous materials are used for molecular filtration and separation by adsorption of chemicals. Mesomaterials remove pollutant, toxic, and carcinogenic compounds from medium by interfacial adsorption-physisorption-chemisorption process. Molecular filtration on other hand is studied from categories produced by nano-maso-composed forms like silanol. Adsorption heat pump is operated by waste heat of solar energy. …

Impact of Storage Methods and Duration on Sugar and Starch Content and Ethanol Yield of Sweet Potatoes [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that ‘industrial’ sweet potatoes can be an excellent feedstock for ethanol production as compared to corn, sorghum and other potential feedstocks. However, starch content can be affected by cultivars as well as storage conditions. Ideally, it is practical that sweet potato storage roots be processed for ethanol production as close to harvest as possible, but this may not always be the case and some amount of …

Inhibitors of steel corrosion sector
Abstract: Inhibitor application in medium of exposure is to mitigate corrosion of mild steel. In industrial and ambient weather corrosions is either from acidic medium or soil compositions. Most of inhibitors appear to be green in origin i.e. environmentally friendly. These explorations account to prevent usage of toxic and high cost synthetic inhibitors. Comparative behaviors about inhibition efficiency restrain a long list of organic natural inhibitors to that of synthetic inorganic …
