The thermal decomposition of jack pine bark, white birch sawdust and cellulose has been studied by both isothermal weight-change determinations and dynamic thermogravimetry mostly in inert atmospheres up to 900°C. Gaseous ...

The roles of molecular size and structure were investigated in relation to the extent of peroxide bleaching and lignin adsorption on pulp. Structural analysis of components from effluents generated by peroxide bleaching ...

The recent development of interferometers operating in the far-infrared frequency region, coupled with the use of modern high-speed digital computers for processing the interferometric data, has made this frequency ...

The presence of dyes in the wastewater of textile industry poses a number of environmental concerns due to their toxic nature and the removal of dyes from the wastewater is a major challenge nowadays. Synthetic polymers ...

The dielectric relaxation method was used to determine the activation parameters of some ethane derivatives and simple amides. A General Radio 1615-A capacitance bridge was utilized to obtain the energy barriers of the ...

Co(I) and nickel(T) complexes containing both bidentate and monodentate tetrahydroborate have been prepared from the reductions of divalent metal compounds in the presence of triphenylphosphine with ethanolic sodium ...

Cyanotrihydroborate-transiton metal ion chemistry has been reviewed.

Two methods of approach are current in the literature for the interpretation of dielectric relaxation. One is that due to Debye which assumes that the relaxation process has its origin in the retardation of molecular ...

Kraft lignin is not widely utilized for industrial applications. In this MSc work, kraft lignin was modified by grafting hydrophobic groups to produce hydrophobic materials. The main objective was to study the grafting of ...
