    Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
    AA 8079 with variable percentages of peanut shell ash (PSA) was created by stir casting (2.5 percent, 5 percent, 7.5 percent, 10 percent, 12.5 percent, and 15 percent). Compared some of the physical and mechanical properties of the composite material were to the alloy matrix alloy (density; porosity percentage; hardness; wear index; tensile strength; and impact strength). Peanut shell ash reinforcements were found to be distributed uniformly throughout the Aluminum Matrix, with pockets of agglomerated reinforcement particles. The hardness, wear index, and density of the composite were enhanced by adding PSA particles. Compared to the matrix alloy without reinforcement, the composites had lower tensile and impact strengths. Mixture design with Design-Expert (Stat EASY) software package indicated the appropriate matrix and reinforcing combination proportions and how they influenced composites’ studied properties. Composites’ physical and mechanical properties were predicted and optimized using regression models created and the ideal mixture of matrix and reinforcement wt. According to optimization findings, the components for optimal composite characteristics’ responses are 93.48 and 6.52 percent of matrix and reinforcement wt% particles. They can utilize PSA-reinforced AA8079 core materials to make automotive components that need lighter, stackable, and wear-resistant.
  • Experimental Investigation on Abstraction of Phenol Onto Micrococcus lylae and Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide
    Natarajan Saravani, Muthukumarasamy Arulmozhi, Kugarajah Vaidhegi
    Clean Soil Air Water, 2016
    Air floatation, an efficient solid–liquid separation process, was tested as a post treatment technique for phenol removal. The results consider about the practical solutions for certain operations such as efficient solid–liquid separation, attainment of maximized percentage removal, phenol rich solution with Micrococcus lylae cells, and pure water without M. lylae cells. The two processes, biosorption and flotation, can effectively operate in combination and both the sorbent and treated water can be recycled. The effect of various operating parameters, such as initial feed concentration, equilibrium time, biosorbent dose, pH, liquid pool height, surfactant concentration, and air flow rate, was experimentally investigated. The maximum sorption capacity was found to be 303 mg/g at pH 7 and an initial phenol concentration of 500 mg/L. The higher floatability of M. lylae was obtained in a maximum time of 10 min. In addition, the adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies revealed that the biosorption process followed the Dubinin–Radushkevich model (R2 = 0.982) and pseudo‐first order kinetics with a kinetic constant of 2.6537/day. The adsorbed chemical species was identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Electrokinetic measurements were carried out to determine the isoelectric point of the bacteria. The zeta potential profile of the bacteria was affected by the presence of phenol at different pH values. The recovery of phenol loaded biomass and final traces of phenol by flotation were found to be 99.91%.
