class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This study evaluates the potential to synthesize an adsorbent for wastewater remediation applications from an anaerobic digestion by-product synthesized using biomaterials and a less energyintensive process. The synthesized sludge-based granular activated carbon (GAC) was used to adsorb Cr(VI) and Cd(II) in a batch reactor stirred for 24 h at 25 • C. The surface chemistry of the material was assessed porosity with BET, SEM for morphology, EDS-XRF for elemental analysis, and functional groups on these materials using FTIR and TGA for thermal profile. S BET of the SAC was discovered to be 481.370 m 2 /g with a V T of 0.337 cm 3 /g, respectively 9.02 and 2.23 times greater than raw sludge. The modification to SAC shows a dramatic increase in performance from 40% to 98.9% equilibrium adsorption rate. The maximum or equilibrium removal (99.99%) of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) was achieved by 0.8 and 1.4 g SAC dosage, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that activation of sewage sludge was effective in enhancing the surface area and pore volume which made it suitable for AMD remediation application.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="01cd01ec77c489d0ea52003ca5bcb955" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413622,"asset_id":127722731,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413622/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722731"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722731"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722731;

As far as can be ascertained, information on physical and chemical properties of South African cashew apple juice is limited in open literature. Therefore, this study provides information on the physical and chemical properties of the South African cashew apple juice. Physicochemical characteristics of the juice, such as specific gravity, pH, sugars, condensed tannins, Vitamin C, minerals, and total protein, were measured from a mixed variety of cashew apples. Analytical results showed the CAJ possesses specific gravity and pH of 1.050 and 4.52, respectively. The highest sugars were glucose (40.56 gL -1 ) and fructose (57.06 gL -1 ). Other chemical compositions of the juice were condensed tannin (55.34 mgL -1 ), Vitamin C (112 mg/100 mL), and total protein (1.78 gL -1 ). The minerals content was as follows: zinc (1.39 ppm), copper (2.18 ppm), magnesium (4.32 ppm), iron (1.32 ppm), sodium (5.44 ppm), and manganese (1.24 ppm). With these findings, South African CAJ is a suitable biomass feedstock for ethanol production.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="eeee966eaa36c311cb6797343d4b0118" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413625,"asset_id":127722730,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413625/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722730"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722730"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722730;

Catalysts used in the synthesis of carbon nanofibers were prepared by changing the molar ratio of nickel nitrate and ammonium molybdate. Precipitates were then obtained by reacting with ammonium carbonate. The optimum temperature for synthesis of carbon nanofibers was found by changing it between 600 and 800 C. At these temperatures, carbon nanofibers were synthesized with various ratios of catalysts. Structural and physiochemical properties were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The specific surface area of synthesized carbon nanofibers was measured by BET. It was found that characterization of carbon nanofibers were significantly affected by the synthesis temperature and the concentration ratio of metal catalysts. When the catalyst with the concentration ratio of Ni and Mo was 6:4 at 800 C, uniform carbon nanofibers with a diameter of 50 nm were grown. Crystallinity and amorphicity of the synthesized carbon nanofiber were excellent compared to those of carbon nanofibers synthesized with metal catalysts in different concentration ratios. A three-electrode cell was prepared by using the synthesized carbon nanofibers as anode of Li secondary battery. The electrochemical properties of carbon nanofibers were examined through cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ab3bcd9b3edd61045d4d625d37281915" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413641,"asset_id":127722729,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413641/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722729"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722729"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722729;

Nigeria is one of the countries with an extensive availability of palm biomass. During palm oil production, an empty palm fruit bunch (biomass) is formed, and a lot of ash is generated. This study aimed to extract and characterize silica from empty palm fruit bunch (EPFB) ash using the thermochemical method. The results show that EPFB ash contains a large amount of biogenic silica in its amorphous form. It could be extracted for further use via calcination at different temperatures and compared effectively to other biomass materials, such as rice husk ash, sugarcane bagasse, and cassava periderm. The extracted silica was characterized using XRF, XRD, TGA, SEM, and FTIR, revealing the highest silica concentration of 49.94% obtained at a temperature of 800 °C. The XRF analysis showed 99.44 wt.% pure silica, while the XRD spectrum showed that the silica in EPFB is inherently amorphous.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), a major discovery as a non-destructive analysis tool was used in the analysis of surface topography and morphology in non-contact (tapping) mode. Coupons before and after treatment with ultrasound waves (after 9 adhesion-cleaning cycles) were used and quantified in the study. Quantitative measurements according to topographic and morphological parameters: average roughness (Ra), root-mean-square profile height (Rq), maximum peak-to-valley height(Rmax), surface skewness(Rskw) and surface kurtosis (Rkur) were studied on (7x5cm 2 ) coupons for AFM scanning area of 25x25m 2 .

The CNT particle size CNT I: OD 6-9 nm x L 5 nm, and CNT II: D 110-170 nm x L 5-9 m were used in the study while the CNT loading was kept at 5% in both cases. Morphology and surface chemistry of the fabricated membranes and CNT were checked using SEM and FTIR. The FTIR spectra confirmed that the functional groups present for both the CNTs are similar and most importantly include carboxylic acid groups which contribute to hydrophilic properties. The contact angles measured for membranes from CNT I and membranes from CNT II were 77.3 +/- 4.5 degrees and 78.8 +/- 5.6 degrees, respectively. The oil rejection obtained was 99.88% and 99.76% for membranes from CNT I and membranes from CNT II, respectively. The oil-water mixture permeability was 2.11 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and 2.20 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 at 8.28 bar.

The models were solved both analytically and numerically for comparative study purpose, three numerical methods (Crank-Nicolson numerical method, fully implicit numerical method, and fully explicit numerical method) were employed via central finite differences for spatial derivatives. The profiles of capacitors with or without self-discharges using Crank-Nicolson numerical solution, fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical solution methods were 95%, 80% and 70% respectively in agreement with similar capacitors using analytical solution. Devices without self-discharges were charged from 0.00V to the expected voltage of 1.20V within expected charging time when analytical solution and Crank-Nicolson numerical method were employed, and from 0.00V to 1.15V and 0.00V to 1.00V (which are less than the target voltage) within target charging time by using fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical methods, respectively. The energy density of capacitors with electrode and electrolytes effective conductivities of 0.05S/cm without self-discharges using analytical solution, Crank-Nicolson numerical solution, fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical solution methods were 35.957Wh/kg, 35.757Wh/kg, 34.282Wh/kg and 24.953Wh/kg, respectively. The first cycle energy efficiency of devices using analytical solution, Crank-Nicolson numerical, fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical solution methods for capacitors with electrode and electrolytes effective conductivities of 0.05S/cm without self-discharges V s were 84.24%, 84.04%, 72.33% and 38.13%, respectively. Simulation results obtained from Crank-Nicolson numerical solution method for certain device is more accurate than those from fully implicit numerical solution and fully explicit numerical solution methods. Thus, the Crank-Nicolson numerical solution method which employs the average of the fully implicit and fully explicit schemes is more realistic than the fully explicit numerical and fully implicit numerical solution methods.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722722"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722722"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722722;

In this study, which serves as a preliminary investigation towards optimization and scalingup of production of high purity yarn using direct spinning of CNT bundles in a swirled floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (SFCCVD), yarn was produced through direct spinning of CNT bundles. CNT bundles were synthesized in the SFCCVD reactor using acetylene as the carbon source and ferrocene as the catalyst. Effect of feed flow rate and reaction temperature on the production was investigated. Morphology, degree of defect and electrical conductivity of the asproduced yarn were checked using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and fourprobe method, respectively. CNT yarn was successfully obtained at a reactor temperature of 1000 • C and at acetylene flow rate of 135 ml min -1 . SEM micrographs of the fibrous structure show high degree of alignment parallel to the fibre direction with good consistency. Results from the fourprobe method test show a typical linear ohmic behaviour indicating that the samples are electrically conductive. Higher reactor temperature favours the production of CNT yarn with a higher electrical conductivity and less crystalline defects.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2ed9629f70425b652608a0f8efa95c4b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413619,"asset_id":127722721,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413619/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722721"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722721"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722721;

The LEPS was engineered by embedding drug-loaded functionalized liposomes (particle size: 100-158nm, zeta potential: -34mV) into a depot chitosan, Eudragit ® RSPO, and polyvinyl alcohol (CEP) scaffold. Swelling, erosional dynamics, porosity/diffusion and particle size influenced the release behavior of the drug-loaded functionalized liposomes post-embedment into the depot CEP scaffold of the LEPS. High accumulation of galantamine (GAL; ~50-90%) validated that drug-loaded functionalized liposomes were still intact following release from the LEPS in simulated physiological conditions over 50 days. PC12 neuronal cell proliferation was supported on the surface of the LEPS. The Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) level, which is associated with cell membrane damage/injury induced by the drug-loaded functionalized liposomes, for CEP scaffold and LEPS, were ±15%, ±30% and ±32%, respectively, confirming no significant cytotoxic effects over 28 days. High accumulation of the GAL and FITC intracellularly validated that synthetic peptide potency was maintained following delivery of the drug-loaded functionalized liposomes post-escape from the LEPS.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="13b3b7a2e29eec69f2d9a3e3ba12babd" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413639,"asset_id":127722719,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413639/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722719"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722719"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722719;

Laboratory scale experiments were conducted using 24 kHz ultrasound frequency with an ultrasonicator capable of operating in continuous mode at nominal ultrasound intensities up to 105 W,cm À2 . There are different energy changes that occur during its use; however, three types of energy changes were monitored: electrical to acoustical to cavitation, and the efficiency of conversion rate from one form of energy to the other was determined to ascertain the effectiveness of the process. High-power ultrasound do not leave residual chemicals behind after treatment and they reach hidden spots near and/or welds where biofilms thrives. A Nexus hydrophone was used to determine the electrical input energy and the cavitation energy but the calorimetric method was used to determine the acoustical energy. Values obtained for electrical power density were against the rated maximum amplitude displacement to compare the error when using the hydrophone. Results showed that the energy conversion was low, on average 26% from electrical to acoustical energy and 9% from electrical to cavitation. However, the values were in line with some of those reported in literature. It can be seen that high-power ultrasound does have a strong presence in the future for cleaning biofilms on food-grade surfaces.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ffc04e9479bd7a390c258e34eecbba5d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413635,"asset_id":127722718,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413635/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722718"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722718"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722718;

50:50; 80:20) were examined as anode material for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A study of the structure, composition and morphology of the synthesized materials was conducted. The materials were further investigated for their electrochemical properties in a half-cell configuration using impedance spectroscopy measurements, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling. Results showed that the combined MXene/EMD material has a greater cycling stability, capacity and rate capability as compared to the EMD. The best ratio was found to be MXene:EMD = 80:20. The capacity obtained for this material after 200 cycles is 460 mA h g -1 at a current density of 100 mA g -1 . The Li-ion accessibility improved with cycling. This study provides a first insight into the viability of using one of the lightest known MXenes and EMD composite for improved LIB anodes. As EMD is a low cost and abundant material, it provides great opportunities for improved capabilities for lightweight applications at an affordable cost.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f95069e0f93e72903aa4d671f1398bac" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413636,"asset_id":127722717,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413636/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722717"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722717"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722717;

The sources of self-discharge in capacitors were side reactions or redox reactions and several impurities and electric double-layer (EDL) instability. The effects of self-discharge during capacitor storage was negligible since it took a fully charged capacitor a minimum of 14.0 days to be entirely discharged by self-discharge in all conditions studied, hence self-discharge in storage condition can be ignored. The first and second charge-discharge cycle energy efficiencies g E1 and g E2 of a capacitor of electrode effective conductivity a 1 = 0.05 S/cm with only EDL instability self-discharge with current density J VR = 1.25 9 10 À3 A/cm 2 were 72.33% and 72.34%, respectively. Also, energy efficiencies g E1 and g E2 of a similar capacitor with both side reactions and redox reactions and EDL instability self-discharges with current densities J VR = 0.00125 A/cm 2 and J VR1 = 0.0032 A/cm 2 were 38.13% and 38.14% respectively, compared with 84.24% and 84.25% in a similar capacitor without self-discharge. A capacitor with only EDL instability self-discharge and that with both side reactions and redox reactions and EDL instability self-discharge lost 9.73 Wh and 28.38 Wh of energy, respectively, through self-discharge during charging and discharging. Hence, EDLCs charging and discharging time is significantly dependent on the self-discharge rate which are too large to be ignored.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c94dc894c0aeff29c172aafcb85b7df5" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413642,"asset_id":127722715,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413642/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722715"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722715"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722715;

The performance of the different kinds of ECs under given conditions was compared using theoretical equations and simulations of various models based on the conditions of device components, using optimal values for the coefficient associated with the battery-kind material (K BMopt ) and the constant associated with the electrolyte material (K Eopt ), as well as our symmetric electric doublelayer capacitor (EDLC) experimental data. Estimation of performance parameters was possible based on values for the mass ratio of electrodes, operating potential range ratio, and specific capacitance of electrolyte. The performance of asymmetric ECs with suitable electrode mass and operating potential range ratios using aqueous or organic electrolyte at appropriate operating potential range and specific capacitance was 2.2 and 5.56 times greater, respectively, than for the symmetric EDLC and asymmetric EC using the same aqueous electrolyte, respectively. This enhancement was accompanied by reduced cell mass and volume. Also, the storable and deliverable energies of the asymmetric EC with suitable electrode mass and operating potential range ratios using the proper organic electrolyte were 12.9 times greater than those of the symmetric EDLC using aqueous electrolyte, again with reduced cell mass and volume. The storable energy, energy density, and power density of the asymmetric EDLC with suitable electrode mass and operating potential range ratios using the proper organic electrolyte were 5.56 times higher than for a similar symmetric EDLC using aqueous electrolyte, with cell mass and volume reduced by a factor of 1.77. Also, the asymmetric EDLC with the same type of electrode and suitable electrode mass ratio, working potential range ratio, and proper organic electrolyte showed enhanced performance compared with the conventional symmetric EDLC using aqueous electrolyte, with reduced cell mass and volume. These results can obviously reduce the number of experiments required to determine the optimum manufacturing design for ECs and also demonstrate that use of an asymmetric electrode and organic electrolyte was very successful for improving the performance of the EC, with reduced cell mass and volume. These results can also act as guidelines for design, fabrication, and operation of electrochemical capacitors with outstanding storable energy, energy density, and power density.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b71bac51e8a4f8b465fef7bef51b8067" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413638,"asset_id":127722714,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413638/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722714"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722714"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722714;

In this study, nomographic data generated with the Cubic Plus Association (CPA) equation of state with pressure range of 50 to 500 Bar and temperature range of -20 to 20 °C was used in developing a simple, easy to use correlation with a single predictor (Temperature) variable. This correlation was validated with experimental data obtained from a high pressure variable volume hydrate cell with an analyser based on the Tuneable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology and compared with six (6) other correlations for predicting water content at these conditions.

Simple photographs of the as-produced samples displayed several colours that characterize typical beam diffraction spectra of diamond. Raman spectrum revealed a single sharp diamond peak at 1381.4 cm −1 and graphite peaks of 1560 and 1360 cm −1 , confirming formation of graphitic carbons and production of graphitic diamond. The quantity of the as-prepared diamond was proportional to the acetylene to hydrogen ratio used in the reactor feed and the apparent proportional relationship between the acetylene and hydrogen ratio and the quantity of diamonds produced only holds at sufficient quantity of acetylene. The synthesized diamond films were unstable at temperature of 90 °C, but displayed phase stability when stored at room temperature in a dark cupboard for 1.5 years. However, presence of impurities in the diamond films negatively affects their thermodynamic stability, and effective purification method to remove the impurities could improve the thermodynamic stability.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722712"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722712"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722712;

The surface chemistry of the material was assessed porosity with BET, SEM for morphology, EDS-XRF for elemental analysis, and functional groups on these materials using FTIR and TGA for thermal profile. S BET of the SAC was discovered to be 481.370 m 2 /g with a V T of 0.337 cm 3 /g, respectively 9.02 and 2.23 times greater than raw sludge. The modification to SAC shows a dramatic increase in performance from 40% to 98.9% equilibrium adsorption rate. The maximum or equilibrium removal (99.99%) of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) was achieved by 0.8 and 1.4 g SAC dosage, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that activation of sewage sludge was effective in enhancing the surface area and pore volume which made it suitable for AMD remediation application.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="01cd01ec77c489d0ea52003ca5bcb955" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413622,"asset_id":127722731,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413622/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722731"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722731"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722731;

As far as can be ascertained, information on physical and chemical properties of South African cashew apple juice is limited in open literature. Therefore, this study provides information on the physical and chemical properties of the South African cashew apple juice. Physicochemical characteristics of the juice, such as specific gravity, pH, sugars, condensed tannins, Vitamin C, minerals, and total protein, were measured from a mixed variety of cashew apples. Analytical results showed the CAJ possesses specific gravity and pH of 1.050 and 4.52, respectively. The highest sugars were glucose (40.56 gL -1 ) and fructose (57.06 gL -1 ). Other chemical compositions of the juice were condensed tannin (55.34 mgL -1 ), Vitamin C (112 mg/100 mL), and total protein (1.78 gL -1 ). The minerals content was as follows: zinc (1.39 ppm), copper (2.18 ppm), magnesium (4.32 ppm), iron (1.32 ppm), sodium (5.44 ppm), and manganese (1.24 ppm). With these findings, South African CAJ is a suitable biomass feedstock for ethanol production.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="eeee966eaa36c311cb6797343d4b0118" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413625,"asset_id":127722730,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413625/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722730"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722730"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722730;

Catalysts used in the synthesis of carbon nanofibers were prepared by changing the molar ratio of nickel nitrate and ammonium molybdate. Precipitates were then obtained by reacting with ammonium carbonate. The optimum temperature for synthesis of carbon nanofibers was found by changing it between 600 and 800 C. At these temperatures, carbon nanofibers were synthesized with various ratios of catalysts. Structural and physiochemical properties were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The specific surface area of synthesized carbon nanofibers was measured by BET. It was found that characterization of carbon nanofibers were significantly affected by the synthesis temperature and the concentration ratio of metal catalysts. When the catalyst with the concentration ratio of Ni and Mo was 6:4 at 800 C, uniform carbon nanofibers with a diameter of 50 nm were grown. Crystallinity and amorphicity of the synthesized carbon nanofiber were excellent compared to those of carbon nanofibers synthesized with metal catalysts in different concentration ratios. A three-electrode cell was prepared by using the synthesized carbon nanofibers as anode of Li secondary battery. The electrochemical properties of carbon nanofibers were examined through cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ab3bcd9b3edd61045d4d625d37281915" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413641,"asset_id":127722729,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413641/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722729"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722729"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722729;

Nigeria is one of the countries with an extensive availability of palm biomass. During palm oil production, an empty palm fruit bunch (biomass) is formed, and a lot of ash is generated. This study aimed to extract and characterize silica from empty palm fruit bunch (EPFB) ash using the thermochemical method. The results show that EPFB ash contains a large amount of biogenic silica in its amorphous form. It could be extracted for further use via calcination at different temperatures and compared effectively to other biomass materials, such as rice husk ash, sugarcane bagasse, and cassava periderm. The extracted silica was characterized using XRF, XRD, TGA, SEM, and FTIR, revealing the highest silica concentration of 49.94% obtained at a temperature of 800 °C. The XRF analysis showed 99.44 wt.% pure silica, while the XRD spectrum showed that the silica in EPFB is inherently amorphous.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), a major discovery as a non-destructive analysis tool was used in the analysis of surface topography and morphology in non-contact (tapping) mode. Coupons before and after treatment with ultrasound waves (after 9 adhesion-cleaning cycles) were used and quantified in the study. Quantitative measurements according to topographic and morphological parameters: average roughness (Ra), root-mean-square profile height (Rq), maximum peak-to-valley height(Rmax), surface skewness(Rskw) and surface kurtosis (Rkur) were studied on (7x5cm 2 ) coupons for AFM scanning area of 25x25m 2 .

The CNT particle size CNT I: OD 6-9 nm x L 5 nm, and CNT II: D 110-170 nm x L 5-9 m were used in the study while the CNT loading was kept at 5% in both cases. Morphology and surface chemistry of the fabricated membranes and CNT were checked using SEM and FTIR. The FTIR spectra confirmed that the functional groups present for both the CNTs are similar and most importantly include carboxylic acid groups which contribute to hydrophilic properties. The contact angles measured for membranes from CNT I and membranes from CNT II were 77.3 +/- 4.5 degrees and 78.8 +/- 5.6 degrees, respectively. The oil rejection obtained was 99.88% and 99.76% for membranes from CNT I and membranes from CNT II, respectively. The oil-water mixture permeability was 2.11 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 and 2.20 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 at 8.28 bar.

The models were solved both analytically and numerically for comparative study purpose, three numerical methods (Crank-Nicolson numerical method, fully implicit numerical method, and fully explicit numerical method) were employed via central finite differences for spatial derivatives. The profiles of capacitors with or without self-discharges using Crank-Nicolson numerical solution, fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical solution methods were 95%, 80% and 70% respectively in agreement with similar capacitors using analytical solution. Devices without self-discharges were charged from 0.00V to the expected voltage of 1.20V within expected charging time when analytical solution and Crank-Nicolson numerical method were employed, and from 0.00V to 1.15V and 0.00V to 1.00V (which are less than the target voltage) within target charging time by using fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical methods, respectively. The energy density of capacitors with electrode and electrolytes effective conductivities of 0.05S/cm without self-discharges using analytical solution, Crank-Nicolson numerical solution, fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical solution methods were 35.957Wh/kg, 35.757Wh/kg, 34.282Wh/kg and 24.953Wh/kg, respectively. The first cycle energy efficiency of devices using analytical solution, Crank-Nicolson numerical, fully implicit numerical and fully explicit numerical solution methods for capacitors with electrode and electrolytes effective conductivities of 0.05S/cm without self-discharges V s were 84.24%, 84.04%, 72.33% and 38.13%, respectively. Simulation results obtained from Crank-Nicolson numerical solution method for certain device is more accurate than those from fully implicit numerical solution and fully explicit numerical solution methods. Thus, the Crank-Nicolson numerical solution method which employs the average of the fully implicit and fully explicit schemes is more realistic than the fully explicit numerical and fully implicit numerical solution methods.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722722"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722722"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722722;

In this study, which serves as a preliminary investigation towards optimization and scalingup of production of high purity yarn using direct spinning of CNT bundles in a swirled floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (SFCCVD), yarn was produced through direct spinning of CNT bundles. CNT bundles were synthesized in the SFCCVD reactor using acetylene as the carbon source and ferrocene as the catalyst. Effect of feed flow rate and reaction temperature on the production was investigated. Morphology, degree of defect and electrical conductivity of the asproduced yarn were checked using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and fourprobe method, respectively. CNT yarn was successfully obtained at a reactor temperature of 1000 • C and at acetylene flow rate of 135 ml min -1 . SEM micrographs of the fibrous structure show high degree of alignment parallel to the fibre direction with good consistency. Results from the fourprobe method test show a typical linear ohmic behaviour indicating that the samples are electrically conductive. Higher reactor temperature favours the production of CNT yarn with a higher electrical conductivity and less crystalline defects.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2ed9629f70425b652608a0f8efa95c4b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413619,"asset_id":127722721,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413619/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722721"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722721"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722721;

The LEPS was engineered by embedding drug-loaded functionalized liposomes (particle size: 100-158nm, zeta potential: -34mV) into a depot chitosan, Eudragit ® RSPO, and polyvinyl alcohol (CEP) scaffold. Swelling, erosional dynamics, porosity/diffusion and particle size influenced the release behavior of the drug-loaded functionalized liposomes post-embedment into the depot CEP scaffold of the LEPS. High accumulation of galantamine (GAL; ~50-90%) validated that drug-loaded functionalized liposomes were still intact following release from the LEPS in simulated physiological conditions over 50 days. PC12 neuronal cell proliferation was supported on the surface of the LEPS. The Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) level, which is associated with cell membrane damage/injury induced by the drug-loaded functionalized liposomes, for CEP scaffold and LEPS, were ±15%, ±30% and ±32%, respectively, confirming no significant cytotoxic effects over 28 days. High accumulation of the GAL and FITC intracellularly validated that synthetic peptide potency was maintained following delivery of the drug-loaded functionalized liposomes post-escape from the LEPS.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="13b3b7a2e29eec69f2d9a3e3ba12babd" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413639,"asset_id":127722719,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413639/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722719"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722719"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722719;

Laboratory scale experiments were conducted using 24 kHz ultrasound frequency with an ultrasonicator capable of operating in continuous mode at nominal ultrasound intensities up to 105 W,cm À2 . There are different energy changes that occur during its use; however, three types of energy changes were monitored: electrical to acoustical to cavitation, and the efficiency of conversion rate from one form of energy to the other was determined to ascertain the effectiveness of the process. High-power ultrasound do not leave residual chemicals behind after treatment and they reach hidden spots near and/or welds where biofilms thrives. A Nexus hydrophone was used to determine the electrical input energy and the cavitation energy but the calorimetric method was used to determine the acoustical energy. Values obtained for electrical power density were against the rated maximum amplitude displacement to compare the error when using the hydrophone. Results showed that the energy conversion was low, on average 26% from electrical to acoustical energy and 9% from electrical to cavitation. However, the values were in line with some of those reported in literature. It can be seen that high-power ultrasound does have a strong presence in the future for cleaning biofilms on food-grade surfaces.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ffc04e9479bd7a390c258e34eecbba5d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413635,"asset_id":127722718,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413635/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722718"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722718"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722718;

50:50; 80:20) were examined as anode material for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A study of the structure, composition and morphology of the synthesized materials was conducted. The materials were further investigated for their electrochemical properties in a half-cell configuration using impedance spectroscopy measurements, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling. Results showed that the combined MXene/EMD material has a greater cycling stability, capacity and rate capability as compared to the EMD. The best ratio was found to be MXene:EMD = 80:20. The capacity obtained for this material after 200 cycles is 460 mA h g -1 at a current density of 100 mA g -1 . The Li-ion accessibility improved with cycling. This study provides a first insight into the viability of using one of the lightest known MXenes and EMD composite for improved LIB anodes. As EMD is a low cost and abundant material, it provides great opportunities for improved capabilities for lightweight applications at an affordable cost.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f95069e0f93e72903aa4d671f1398bac" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413636,"asset_id":127722717,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413636/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722717"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722717"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722717;

The sources of self-discharge in capacitors were side reactions or redox reactions and several impurities and electric double-layer (EDL) instability. The effects of self-discharge during capacitor storage was negligible since it took a fully charged capacitor a minimum of 14.0 days to be entirely discharged by self-discharge in all conditions studied, hence self-discharge in storage condition can be ignored. The first and second charge-discharge cycle energy efficiencies g E1 and g E2 of a capacitor of electrode effective conductivity a 1 = 0.05 S/cm with only EDL instability self-discharge with current density J VR = 1.25 9 10 À3 A/cm 2 were 72.33% and 72.34%, respectively. Also, energy efficiencies g E1 and g E2 of a similar capacitor with both side reactions and redox reactions and EDL instability self-discharges with current densities J VR = 0.00125 A/cm 2 and J VR1 = 0.0032 A/cm 2 were 38.13% and 38.14% respectively, compared with 84.24% and 84.25% in a similar capacitor without self-discharge. A capacitor with only EDL instability self-discharge and that with both side reactions and redox reactions and EDL instability self-discharge lost 9.73 Wh and 28.38 Wh of energy, respectively, through self-discharge during charging and discharging. Hence, EDLCs charging and discharging time is significantly dependent on the self-discharge rate which are too large to be ignored.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c94dc894c0aeff29c172aafcb85b7df5" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413642,"asset_id":127722715,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413642/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722715"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722715"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722715;

The performance of the different kinds of ECs under given conditions was compared using theoretical equations and simulations of various models based on the conditions of device components, using optimal values for the coefficient associated with the battery-kind material (K BMopt ) and the constant associated with the electrolyte material (K Eopt ), as well as our symmetric electric doublelayer capacitor (EDLC) experimental data. Estimation of performance parameters was possible based on values for the mass ratio of electrodes, operating potential range ratio, and specific capacitance of electrolyte. The performance of asymmetric ECs with suitable electrode mass and operating potential range ratios using aqueous or organic electrolyte at appropriate operating potential range and specific capacitance was 2.2 and 5.56 times greater, respectively, than for the symmetric EDLC and asymmetric EC using the same aqueous electrolyte, respectively. This enhancement was accompanied by reduced cell mass and volume. Also, the storable and deliverable energies of the asymmetric EC with suitable electrode mass and operating potential range ratios using the proper organic electrolyte were 12.9 times greater than those of the symmetric EDLC using aqueous electrolyte, again with reduced cell mass and volume. The storable energy, energy density, and power density of the asymmetric EDLC with suitable electrode mass and operating potential range ratios using the proper organic electrolyte were 5.56 times higher than for a similar symmetric EDLC using aqueous electrolyte, with cell mass and volume reduced by a factor of 1.77. Also, the asymmetric EDLC with the same type of electrode and suitable electrode mass ratio, working potential range ratio, and proper organic electrolyte showed enhanced performance compared with the conventional symmetric EDLC using aqueous electrolyte, with reduced cell mass and volume. These results can obviously reduce the number of experiments required to determine the optimum manufacturing design for ECs and also demonstrate that use of an asymmetric electrode and organic electrolyte was very successful for improving the performance of the EC, with reduced cell mass and volume. These results can also act as guidelines for design, fabrication, and operation of electrochemical capacitors with outstanding storable energy, energy density, and power density.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b71bac51e8a4f8b465fef7bef51b8067" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":121413638,"asset_id":127722714,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/121413638/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722714"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722714"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722714;

As a result, many correlations for natural gas water content determination either cannot predict water content of natural gas at these conditions or, have a low accuracy of prediction when they do. In this study, nomographic data generated with the Cubic Plus Association (CPA) equation of state with pressure range of 50 to 500 Bar and temperature range of -20 to 20 °C was used in developing a simple, easy to use correlation with a single predictor (Temperature) variable. This correlation was validated with experimental data obtained from a high pressure variable volume hydrate cell with an analyser based on the Tuneable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology and compared with six (6) other correlations for predicting water content at these conditions. The average absolute deviation (AAD) for the correlations showed that the model...</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722713"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722713"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722713; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=127722713]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=127722713]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722713; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='127722713']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=127722713]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":127722713,"title":"Predicting Water Content of Sweet Natural Gas – Hydrate Systems","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/127722713/Predicting_Water_Content_of_Sweet_Natural_Gas_Hydrate_Systems","owner_id":45552450,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":45552450,"first_name":"Sunny","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Iyuke","page_name":"SunnyIyuke","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2016-03-21T14:25:53.185-07:00","display_name":"Sunny Iyuke","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/SunnyIyuke"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="127722712"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/127722712/Thermodynamic_stability_of_graphitic_diamond_films_produced_from_catalytic_chemical_vapour_deposition_reactor"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Thermodynamic stability of graphitic diamond films produced from catalytic chemical vapour deposition reactor" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/127722712/Thermodynamic_stability_of_graphitic_diamond_films_produced_from_catalytic_chemical_vapour_deposition_reactor">Thermodynamic stability of graphitic diamond films produced from catalytic chemical vapour deposition reactor</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry</span><span>, 2015</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Abstract Thermodynamic stability of synthetic diamond films, produced at 1000–1100 °C from a swir...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Abstract Thermodynamic stability of synthetic diamond films, produced at 1000–1100 °C from a swirled-continuous Catalytic Chemical Vapour Deposition (CCVD) reactor, is reported. Simple photographs of the as-produced samples displayed several colours that characterize typical beam diffraction spectra of diamond. Raman spectrum revealed a single sharp diamond peak at 1381.4 cm −1 and graphite peaks of 1560 and 1360 cm −1 , confirming formation of graphitic carbons and production of graphitic diamond. The quantity of the as-prepared diamond was proportional to the acetylene to hydrogen ratio used in the reactor feed and the apparent proportional relationship between the acetylene and hydrogen ratio and the quantity of diamonds produced only holds at sufficient quantity of acetylene. The synthesized diamond films were unstable at temperature of 90 °C, but displayed phase stability when stored at room temperature in a dark cupboard for 1.5 years. However, presence of impurities in the diamond films negatively affects their thermodynamic stability, and effective purification method to remove the impurities could improve the thermodynamic stability.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127722712"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127722712"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127722712;
