Conventional membrane processes, eg, microfiltration and ultrafiltration, suffer from severe
permeation flux decline and fouling during the oily wastewater treatment. The …

Deteriorated transformer oil is classified as hazardous waste under national regulations.
However, if properly managed, it also can be transformed into a valuable recyclable …

Silica particles tend to be aggregate and difficult to be dispersed homogeneously in organic
coatings or polymer nanocomposites because of the large number of-OH groups in the …

Multilayer thin films prepared using the sol-gel process have been used in many
antireflection applications. In this paper, antireflective nanoscale multilayer TiO 2-SiO 2 …

Sol–gel technology is a promising manufacturing method to produce antireflective silica thin
films for solar energy applications. So to improve the properties of the films, controlling …

A Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is one class of the unmanned underwater vehicles that
is tethered, unoccupied, highly manoeuvrable, and operated by a person on a platform on …

Silica–titania (ST) nanohybrid and bromophenol blue (BPB) immobilized ST nanohybrid
matrix are synthesized by low-temperature sol–gel route. The influence of BPB on the …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of coating Populus nigra with silica
