Bio hybrid material supported multifunctional (hydroxyproline with enriched glycoprotein) has been shown to be efficient in chelation with boron and can be used for removal of boron at ppm levels. Gum arabic (GUM) is biodegradable and nontoxic biopolymer. GUM includes GA-GP-GA-glycoprotein and polysaccharides. Hollow silica spheres (HSS) gain increasing attention, thanks to low density, high specific surface and good adsorption performance. In this study, sol-gel process was used for the preparation of HSS and was modified with epoxy group. The resulted epoxidized HSS (HSEPC) was reacted with GUM to obtain a poly saccharide derivative functional hollow silica sphere (HSGUM) for removal of boron. Characterizations of HSGUM were performed by FT-IR and SEM techniques. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic models were also applied to adsorption of boron onto HSGUM. The resulting sorbent HSGUM has been demonstrated efficient and the maximum boron sorption capacity at monolayer coverage (q) was found as average 4.10 mmol g.

Clinical research in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been conducted worldwide. Currently, the Monte Carlo (MC) method is the only dose calculation algorithm implemented in the treatment planning system for the clinical treatment of BNCT. We previously developed the MC-RD calculation method, which combines the MC method and the removal-diffusion (RD) equation, for fast dose calculation in BNCT.

Diamond grinding wheels have been widely used to remove the residual features of cast parts, such as parting lines and pouring risers. However, diamond grains are prone to chemical wear as a result of their strong interaction with ferrous metals. To mitigate this wear, this study proposes the use of a novel water-based hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as a minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) during the grinding of cast steel and conducted the grinding experiment and molecular dynamics simulation.

Widespread detection in soils and sediments underscores the potential threats posed by persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) to ecosystems and organisms. Nevertheless, the formidable energy of the C-F bond imparts stability and hampers degradation. This study investigates the potential of boron carbide (BC), a hard-ceramic material often utilized in armor and abrasion contexts, for degrading solid-phase PFOS through ball milling.

Fabrication of heavy density mortar using aggregates reinforced with available solid inorganic chemical additives is of a great importance as a protective layer to mitigate radiations in nuclear facilities. The effect of lead oxide and borax decahydrate on the hydration kinetics was evaluated by determining setting time, leachability and compressive strength. To speed up the reaction, 0.
