A Facile Synthesis of Montmorillonite Supported CdAl2O4 Nanocomposites with Photocatalytic and Hydrophobic Properties by Kumar Rajathi, Kalpana

“… The hydrothermal co-precipitation method was successfully employed to synthesize CdAl2O4 supported by natural clay, montmorillonite to reduce the toxicity of solid and liquid wastes that cause serious harm to livestock and humans due to the discharge of dye wastes into water bodies. Characterization of the montmorillonite/CdAl2O4 (MMT/CdAl2O4) composite was carried out using various techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and BET surface area analysis. …”

Validation of Advanced Computer Codes for VVER Technology: LB-LOCA Transient in PSB-VVER Facility by A. Del Nevo, M. Adorni, F. D'Auria, O. I. Melikhov, I. V. Elkin, V. I. Schekoldin, M. O. Zakutaev, S. I. Zaitsev, M. Benčík

“…This facility represents the scaled-down layout of the Russian-designed pressurized water reactor, namely, VVER-1000. Five experiments were executed, dealing with loss of coolant scenarios (small, intermediate, and large break loss of coolant accidents), a primary-to-secondary leak, and a parametric study (natural circulation test) aimed at characterizing the VVER system at reduced mass inventory conditions. …”

Properties of Poly(Lactic Acid) Filled with Hydrophobic Cellulose/SiO2 Composites by Kittithorn Lertphirun, Kawee Srikulkit

“…Importantly, the addition of hydrophobic cellulose/SiO2 at high percent loading could favor landfill degradation of PLA via water absorption ability of cellulose. It was expected that enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose resulted in the formation of lactic acid and silicic acid which consequently catalyzed the hydrolytic degradation (acid hydrolysis) of PLA. …”
