Organophilicization of Bentonite by HDTMA+ and TMPA+ Cations for Sorption of 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in Aqueous Solution
Abstract: Bentonite (Bt) was converted to organoclays by intercalation of cationic surfactants into its interlayer space. Two types of organoclays were synthesized from HDTMA and TMPA at 100% CEC, and the adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM. The adsorption capacities of Bt and the organoclays for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophrnol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solutions were tested under different conditions. Two adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms) were used …

Torsional Strengthening of RC Beam using Ferrocement Jacketing
Abstract: Due to the type of loading on the structure, it is generally known that there are four structural actions: axial force, shear, bending, and torsion. The reinforced concrete beams are said to be subjected to torsion, when the point of application of lateral loads does not coincides with shear center of the beam. These loads may be due to loading pattern or connection of beam. Torsional failure is typically seen …

Flow Simulation and Experimental Comparative Study of Aerodynamic Forces on NACA 2415 Airfoil Scaled Model
Abstract: Aerodynamic force, which would be brought upon by the relative motion of an object and the airflow, is the force that the air in which the body is submerged exerts on the body. The normal force resulting from force on the body's surface and the shear force resulting from airflow viscosity, also known as skin friction, are the two sources of aerodynamic force. Shear force is applied locally and parallel …

Synthesis of CaCl2.6H2O by Using Phase Diagram and Verification of its Ability to Remain as a Hexahydrate at Various Thermal Effects
Abstract: Antarcticite (CaCl2.6H2O) is one of the salt hydrate forms of Calcium chloride. It has a specific application in energy storage systems at ambient temperature, since its melting point is around 29ºC. During the conventional synthesis of Antarcticite, a risk of other hydrates crystallization is there. An experimental procedure is designed through binary melting phase diagram for selective crystallization of Antarcticite from aqueous CaCl2 solution. The melting and recrystallization behavior of …
