This paper demonstrates a specific case of chemical removal of relatively hard, dark, and adherent heterogeneous deposits on the internal surface of the pipe. The phases involved in this process are iron sulfide, iron oxides and calcium carbonate existing as scales/corrosion products. To evaluate their dissolution, laboratory tests were conducted using hydrochloric acid (HCl) with additions of chlorine in the form of calcium hypochlorite [Ca(ClO)2]. Appropriate safety measures were taken employed, considering hazards associated with chlorine and toxicity of hydrogen sulfide. The treatment regime had 87 % effectiveness for scale removal in combination with propargyl alcohol (2-propyn-1-ol) as a corrosion inhibitor.","PeriodicalId":38363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139450937","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 samples were monitored using FTIR spectroscopy to measure the specific absorptivity of conjugated dienes (CDs) and conjugated trienes (CTs), as well as the peroxide value. Additionally, GC/FID was employed to evaluate the oxidative degree of the fish oil and compare the antioxidative effect of roasted pumpkin seed oil, specifically in comparison to rosemary extract. For this purpose, the oil stability was optimized by comparing the oxidation levels of fish oils exposed to range of temperature, including 23°C, 50°C, 70°C, 90°C, and 110°C. This was done in the presence of a low percent of rosemary extract, unroasted pumpkin seed oil (UPSO), and roasted pumpkin seed oil (RPSO). Based on the obtained results, a clear difference is observed in the blended samples, particularly when roasted pumpkin seed oil is used. This difference is evident in the ultraviolet chemical parameters, fatty acid profile, and most notably in the optimized FTIR vibrational bands. The ratios of area peaks such as 3444/2854, 1745/2854 and 3010/2854 are considered important parameters for monitoring the chemical changes and lipid stability. All the chemical parameters confirm the possibility of enhancing the stability of fish oil by blending it with healthy pumpkin seedoil. The composition of pumpkin seed oil increases the stability of fish oil. Consequently, it is evident that pumpkin seed oil, known for its high healthy benefits, can successfully be used to improve the thermal and oxidative stability of fish oil lipids. The principal component analysis (PCA) was used to define clusters, which revealed a wide range of both chemically changed and unchanged samples. The application of FTIR spectroscopy as an alternative method provides excellent parameters for easy operation, affordability, and ecological considerations, making in an efficient tool for controlling the quality of edible oils.","PeriodicalId":38363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy","volume":"60 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139388430","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}

The objects of this research are different cement composites with high content of inert mineral fillers (marble and quartz sand), the influence of zeolite incorporation on the microstructure, and low water-cement ratio, obtained after the hydration of white portland cement.In this study, the evolution of the curing processes and the crystal formation during up to 120 days of water-curing are investigated. Moreover, the effects of replacing up to 10 wt. % of white cement with natural zeolite are studied. Attention was focused on the general microstructural development during curing with special attention on the evolution and morphology of pore space and the observed calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H), portlandite, and carbonate-containing phases.The phase composition (newly formed phases as well as the formation of C-S-H gel) is defined by using powder X-Ray diffraction and SEM. The experimental data shows that the cement composites with the inert marble filler as an additive lead to the creation of carbo-aluminates. The incorporation of up to 10 percent of clinoptilolite in concrete mixtures by mass of the total cementitious components is more efficient when used in lower strength mixes. A significant reduction in the workability of the fresh mortars is not observed, but the high surface area of zeolite reduces bleeding and accelerates setting without any strong effects on the other physical and technological properties of fresh mortars.","PeriodicalId":38363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy","volume":"284 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140514483","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}

The microstructure was observed by OM and SEM, while the chemical composition was investigated by EDX analysis. It was found that the microstructure of as-delivered steel was two-phase and relatively inhomogeneous in morphology and chemical composition. It consisted of austenite with grain sizes between 20 - 150 μm, relatively large amount of striped δ-ferrite and spherical carbides along the grain boundaries. After laser melting, the microstructure remained two-phase (δ-ferrite and austenite), but became more homogeneous in morphology and composition. Different dendrites morphology in the particular regions of the molten layer was confirmed - fine equiaxed dendrites on the top surface and columnar at the bottom of the molten pool.

After casting and drying of the respective film-forming solutions, elastic and homogeneous films were obtained. A significant color difference was found for all protein films with added STE compared to the control series (mainly due to an increase in yellowness). The degree of cross-linking was highest in CLSTE (60 %), followed by GLSTE (27 %) and SPISTE (18 %). The antioxidant activity of the films, determined by the DPPH radical scavenging assay, increased significantly after the addition of STE. The observed increase in tensile strength (TS) for the films with STE ranged from double (CLSTE and SPISTE) to more than 4 times (GLSTE). In addition, there was a significant improvement in the light barrier properties of the extract-incorporated films, but also a reduction in their transparency up to 1.5 times compared to their respective controls. No significant influence was observed on physical characteristics such as thickness, moisture absorption and total soluble matter.
