Adsorption process by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has been found to be a more effective method than classical methods for treating dye-containing wastewater. This research, is to investigate the decolorization abilities of azo dye in order to treat organic polluted wastewaters efficiently by AOPs. Various operational parameters such as pH, initial dye concentration and catalyst loading were investigated on the use of ZnO/W in the adsorption of Reactive Red 31 (RR 31) dye. The study also focused on the kinetic and thermodynamic investigation such as activation energy (E<sub>a</sub>), standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG<sup>0</sup>), standard enthalpy (ΔH<sup>0</sup>), and standard entropy (ΔS<sup>0</sup>). The kinetics of adsorption of dye followed a pseudo-first order kinetic model. Further, thermodynamic study showed that the photocatalytic decolorization of this dye is an endothermic and spontaneous reaction. This study represents a success of thermodynamic for the application in environmental area. Additionally, cost analysis of the process was discussed. The treatment effectiveness was reported as the electrical energy consumed per unit volume (E<sub>EO</sub>) of waste-water treated required for 100% decolorization of the investigated compound.</em>https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81596_46040b7c3fbba910ecba315e527d014a.pdfInstitute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings2008-213413120200201Nickel Base Superalloy Rene®80 – The Effect of High Temperature Cyclic Oxidation on Platinum-Aluminide Coating Features11228155910.30509/pccc.2020.81559ENM.M.BarjestehMetallic Materials Research Center, Malek Ashtar University of Technology (MUT), Tehran, IranS.

The platinum aluminide coatings described here have been developed to protect nickel base superalloy alloys from oxidation. In this study, the effect of cyclic oxidation, platinum layer thickness and aluminizing process on behavior of Pt-Aluminide (Pt-Al) coating on nickel-based superalloy Rene<sup>®</sup>80 have been investigated. For this purpose, after applying different thicknesses of Pt-layer (2, 6 and 8µm), diffusion aluminide coating in two types, high temperature-low activity (HTLA) and low temperature-high activity (LTHA) methods was performed. The results of microstructural investigations by Scanning Electron Microscopy and the X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that coatings include three zones in all thicknesses of the platinum layer and in both methods of aluminizing. The results of cyclic oxidation (1100 °C and 120 cycles) test showed that Pt-Al in all conditions improved the oxidation resistance of Rene<sup>®</sup>80. The best oxidation resistance is related to the specimen coated with 6 µm Pt by LTHA method, whereas the lowest resistance was related to 2µm Pt in the case of HTLA method. The weight changes during cyclic oxidation of 6µm Pt (LTHA) and 2µm Pt (HTLA) coatings were 3.8 and 6 mg, respectively. Also, the parabolic oxidation rate constants of these coatings were calculated as 1.5*</em><em>10<sup>-12</sup> and 3.8*</em><em>10<sup>-12</sup>, respectively.</em>https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81559_43cf705bdd9b43a5c8a77bb6673a8e40.pdfInstitute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings2008-213413120200201γ-CD-Functionalized TiO2 Nanoparticles For the Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes23398159310.30509/pccc.2020.81593ENF.ShokoofehpoorDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Guilan, Rasht, IranS.

In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the use of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) in coatings. Creating functional groups on POSS and using it in formulation can create new or improve the properties of coatings. In this study, the cure kinetics between hydroxyl functional acrylic resin, aliphatic polyisocyanate and fluorinated POSS with terminal hydroxyl group (F-POSS-OH) was studied using both the Malek and model-free isoconversional method (Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissingere-Akahirae-Sunose) by DSC. The parameters of the cure kinetic equation for both systems were calculated and the effect of F-POSS-OH on the activation energy of polyurethane systems is investigated by free models. The results are shown that the m parameter in the cure kinetic equation for the coatings containing the F-POSS-OH increased, which indicates an increase in the autocatalytic effect of the curing system. Also, in the free model, the F-POSS-OH was reduced the activation energy of reaction.</em>https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_81589_45c426504892eff02d3fed4dc7dc6c66.pdf
