Benzylamine tartrate (m.p. 63°C) seems to be a better and more convenient substrate for making carbon films than any of those previously proposed. Using it in the manner described, it is easy consistently to make batches of specimen grids as open as 200 mesh with no broken squares, and without individual handling of the grids. Benzylamine tartrate (hereafter called B.T.) is a viscous liquid when molten, which sets to a glass. Unlike polymeric substrates it does not swell before dissolving; such swelling of the substrate seems to be a principal cause of breakage of carbon film. Mass spectroscopic examination indicates a vapor pressure less than 10−9 Torr at room temperature.

The synthesis of Ag-TiO2 coating using AgNO3 precursor is expected to give the properties as pure as Ag nanoparticles. Commonly, high concentration of Ag attributed to agglomeration of silver species and reduction to Ag0 particles on TiO2 surface. In contrast, at lower concentration, Ag species exist as AgO, Ag2O and Ag0. Hence, the exact amount of Ag, which can effectively control the particle growth and agglomeration, surface area, thermal stability and band gap of the TiO2 coating, are still vague and stated differently. In the present study, the effect of Ag content on the phase transformation and surface morphology of Ag-TiO2 coating were reported. TiO2 sol were prepared by incorporating Ag at 2.5, 5 and 7.5 mol % and deposited on unglazed ceramic tiles thru five times dip coating. The deposited Ag-TiO2 coatings were heat treated at 500 °C for 1 hour soaking time. XRD analyses revealed that the deposited Ag-TiO2 coating consists of anatase, rutile, Ag2O and metallic Ag. Almost all the coating surfaces illustrated cracks. Increased Ag content lead to presence of tiny particles on the surfaces and EDX spectrum revealed the presence of Ti, O and metallic Ag particles. However, at the addition of 5 mol % Ag, there was no metallic Ag presence and a dense coating with the lowest thickness of ±11.4µm is observed.

Photodegradation of textile dyes in the presence of an aqueous suspension of semiconductor oxides has been of growing interest. Although this method of destruction of dyes is efficient, the main obstacle of applying this technique in the industry is the time and cost involving separation of oxides from an aqueous suspension. In this research, an attempted was made to develop ZnO films on a glass substrate by simple immobilization method for the adsorption and photodegradation of a typical dye, Remazol Red R (RRR) from aqueous solution. Adsorption and photodegradation of  RRR were performed in the presence of glass supported ZnO film. Photodegradation of the dye was carried out by varying different parameters such as the catalyst dosage, initial concentrations of RRR, and light sources. The percentage of adsorption as well as photodegradation increased with the amount of ZnO, reaches a maximum and then decreased. Maximum degradation has been found under solar light irradiation as compared to UV-light irradiation. Removal efficiency was also found to be influenced by the pre-sonication of ZnO suspension.

CdHgTe thin films were grown onto glass substrate via the Chemical bath deposition technique. XRD results indicate that a CdHgTe formed with a cubic polycrystalline structure. The crystallinity of CdHgTe thin films is gradually deteriorate with increasing the gamma irradiation. EDS spectrums confirms the presence of Cd, Hg and Te elements. DC electrical conductivity results depicted the conductivity of CdHgTe increase with increasing a gamma ray dosage

The methods of energy efficiency increasing of pre- and post-harvest thermal processing of grain are considered. The effective ways to deliver energy to the grain using heat pipes and microwave field are given. The effect of combined action of microwave and low-frequency radiation on the grain germination is shown. Currently, the intensification of technological processes under the influence of microwave radiation is used in many industrial processes. Microwave equipment is becoming a necessary technological component of large profitable industries. The process of drying is no exception. In recent years, new versions of dryers have been proposed that use combined methods of energy supply, including microwave energy. Microwave dryers for foodstuffs, grains and oilseeds, including those for seed stock, have been created and are beginning to be used, along with drying and disinfection, disinfection of drying products from harmful bacteria, fungi, and mildew. For the implementation of microwave drying of particular importance is the choice of regime parameters of drying, given the fact that the grain is a biologically active object. Microwave drying allows you to provide a powerful flow of energy to the object of drying and to obtain a significant intensification of moisture evaporation. But at the same time there is also an intense heating of the product, which can degrade its quality. The possibility of supplying energy throughout the cross section of the product allows for the evaporation of moisture from the inner layers of the product, which is especially important at the end of drying, when the zone of evaporation of moisture is significantly deeper. Therefore, the highest drying efficiency can be obtained in combined processes that take advantage of various drying methods, such as convective, as well as the use of microwave and low-frequency magnetic fields. The paper presents effective ways to supply energy to the grain using heat pipes and a microwave field. The effect of the combined action of microwave and low-frequency radiation on grain similarity is shown. Ways to improve the energy efficiency of the processes of preseeding and post-harvest heat treatment of grain are considered.
