In this study, the co-electrodeposition (CED) method was utilized to produce copper metal matrix composite coatings (Cu-MMC) using lab-made sulfate electrolyte and lab-made synthesized nanoparticles of ferrite-aluminum layered double oxide (Fe/Al LDO) as reinforcement. Copper coatings and co-electrodeposited Cu-MMC coatings with Fe/Al LDO nanoparti...

The alumina nanoparticles (Al₂O₃) were synthesized using the sol-gel technique from an inorganic solution. The obtained nanoparticles had a microstructure of corundum after calcination at 1000°C. For characterization of alumina nanoparticles, use the FE-SEM/EDS method with mapping software, XRD, and TEM. The α-Al₂O₃ phase was detected wit...

The onset of industrialization combined with rising living standards and population growth has led to increased consumption, water contamination, and a threat to the already unequal distribution of this most valuable resource. The amount of freshwater consumed worldwide has doubled in the past 50 years, according to UNESCO, and amounts to roughly 3...

Amaranth belogs to the group of pseudocereals. This pseudocereal is rich in proteins and does not contain gluten. Therefore, it is suitable for people on a gluten-free diet. In recent years, the number of people suffering from celiac disease or who are allergic to gluten has been increasing every day. The aim of this paper was to examine how the pa...

The semi-rigorous model without holdups and the semi-rigorous model with minimum holdups give almost the same results. However, the former uses integration step 0.1 h and the latter integration step 0.00001 h. This, and the fact that a semi-rigorous model describes the dynamics of the batch distillation process more reliably than a shortcut model, ...
