Green and efficient hydroxylation of phenol using H2O2 catalyzed by coordination polymers
New two coordination polymers, viz. [-CH2{Cu(bis-salan)}-]n and [-CH2{Mn(bis-salan).2H2O}-]n, where salan = 5,5’-methylene bis-salicylideneaniline.synthesis were synthesized and characterized. These coordination polymers were evaluated as heterogeneous catalysts for the liquid-phase hydroxylation of phenol using a green oxidant [...]
Superhydrophobic Surfaces by Supercritical Fluid Technology
The term superhydrophobicity is used to describe the effect when a water droplet is rolling off a surface instead of sliding. Superhydrophobic surfaces, like the surface of a Lotus leaf, have water-repellant and self-cleaning properties. [...]
Method of Liquid Inactivation by Supercritical Ozone
Ma H.C., Yu F.C., Liang C.C., Wang C.F., Kao M.J., Chuang B.N., Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW
Ozone is a tri-atom molecule with powerful oxidizing ability and decay to oxygen with a half-life of approximately 30 minutes. Although the precise mechanisms of ozone disinfection are not firmly established, the effectiveness was already [...]
Environmentally benign catalytic hydroxylation of benzene using metal-coordination polymers
Environmentally benign synthetic processes of phenol from benzene via single step by using new two metal-Schiff-base coordination polymer were synthesized and characterized. These catalysts are derived from the ligand bis-bidentate 5,5’-methylene-bis(N-methylsalicyliden-1,2-diaminopropane) (MBSP) and metal ions [...]
Ecomate – Environmentally Benign Foam Blowing Agent
Ecomate® is an environmentally benign blowing agent for rigid foam insulation, having zero ODP [Ozone Depletion Potential], zero GWP [Global Warming Potential], and is VOC [volatile organic compound, i.e., photochemical smog] exempt by the US-EPA. [...]
The study of using glycidyl methacrylate grafted natural rubber as an impact modifier of polylactic acid
Juntuek P., Ruksakulpiwat C., Ruksakulpiwat Y., humsamrong P., Ruksakulpiwat C., Ruksakulpiwat Y., Suranaree University of Technology, TH
Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was grafted onto natural rubber (NR) using emulsion polymerization method and using cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) as an initiator. Glycidyl methacrylate grafted natural rubber (NR-g-GMA) were melt blended with polylactic [...]
Nanobrush Structured Oligo(epsilon-caprolactone) as a Novel Plasticizer for the Manufacture of Eco-friendly Poly(vinyl chloride)
Phthalates such as DEHP are the most commonly used plasticizers in flexible PVC. According to the information recently reported, the phthalates still hold almost 90% of the world’s plasticizer market. There have been, however, many [...]
Mechanical Properties of PLA-Jute Composites by Using Natural Rubber and Epoxidized Natural Rubber as Impact Modifiers : Effect of Molding Technique
Jute fiber was used as a reinforcing fiber in poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composites. Natural rubber (NR) and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) are used as impact modifiers of jute-PLA composite. The composite specimens were prepared [...]
Efficiency’s Last Frontier: Reflective Building Surfaces
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory scientists hold that if the world’s urban areas were highly reflective, global warming would be delayed by eleven years. However, America’s building energy codes do not cite reflective surfaces as key paths [...]
A Study on Design Technologies and load analysis for Sustainable Army Barracks
Purpose of this study is embody the environmental-friendly military facility model that applied renewable energy, passive design method and high efficiency equipment. In the introduction of this study, defined problem of existing military facility and [...]
Clean Technology Requires a Systems Approach
The challenge of addressing climate change in the context of moving society towards the environmental, economic and social goals of sustainability requires radical innovation of cleaner technologies and processes which meet individual and social needs [...]
Recovery of High Quality Aggregate from Concrete Waste using Pulsed Power Technology
In Japan, the most of waste concrete scraps have been eused as roadbed materials and the recycling ratio of waste concrete scraps has been kept over 95 % from 2000. However, it is expected that [...]
Green Building visions in historical Arab cities, case study of Al-Jazirah Al-Hamrah-Northern UAE
With the oil discovery during 1960s, and the initiation of the UAE in 1972, most of old house and building has been replaced with modern building. Al-Jazirah Al-Hamrah in the Northern UAE, the only historical [...]
