Often the independent variable spans several orders of magnitude, (e.g., when experimental concentrations range from 0.0100mM to 10.0mM), which can make it difficult to construct a clear graph of the data. In such situations, it is more appropriate to plot the independent variable on a logarithmic axis (usually the base 10 logarithmic scale) rather than a linear axis, in order to avoid superimposed data points and to make the graph easier to interpret. By convention, the independent variable is usually plotted horizontally as the x-axis or abscissa, and the dependent variable is plotted vertically as the y-axis or ordinate.","PeriodicalId":175500,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Chemical Science Research","volume":"498 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131774557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, the air-leak smoothness testing generates a value in a short period of time and this accounts to a great extent for the popularity of this method. In practice, paper roughness is commonly determined by measuring the air flow between the paper surface and a reference plane under specified conditions. The Bekk, Bendtsen, and Parker-Print-Surf (PPS) are the best-known instruments in this category. Certainly, the first two are used to express the roughness of paper in air resistance (min/ml) or air flow (ml/min) units, but the Parker-Print-Surf instrument provides a value for the roughness R in μm of the surface from the reference plane. It is found that rough sheets of paper due to replication of the sandpaper surfaces differ to a great deal in Bekk type smoothness, but do not show as much difference as it from sample to sample in PPS roughness.","PeriodicalId":175500,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Chemical Science Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116856589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All materials were analyzed by FTIR, SEM-EDX, and XRD with semi-quantitative phase analysis calculation. The addition of NaOH changed the composition of the hydrothermal and calcination products. Different percent of β-C2S and other calcium and sodium silicate phases were produced with increasing the concentration of NaOH. In presence of 0.5M NaOH, 32.6% of β-C2S formed with the formation of calcium silicate with mole ratio CaO/SiO2=1.5 (rankinite, 30.9%) and sodium-calcium silicate (combeite, 8.6%). Whereas, in the presence of 5M NaOH, the hydrothermal reaction between lime and silica was effectively deactivated i.e. 32.9% of β-C2S formed. The formation of sodium silicate (31%), rankinite (15.4%) and sodium-calcium silicate (16.7%) phases were encouraged. The optimum condition for preparation of low-temperature β-C2S rich cement from lime and sand under these conditions can be achieved by the addition of 2M NaOH were, 77.7% of β-C2S formed and 12.4% combeite.","PeriodicalId":175500,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Chemical Science Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125390908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
