... including monitoring and verification, has become operational. It may still take years until this happens on a bona-fide basis. The most plausible reasons are high cost, commercial uncertainty, lack of a foreseeable regulatory framework, problems pertaining to bankability, and, last but not least, liability...

...production and are normally produced in submerged arc furnaces. Raw materials such as manganese ore, metallurgical coke and fluxes (and quartz for SiMn) are premixed in proper ratios and fed to the charge top. As the manganese ore descends in the furnace, it will experience increasing temperatures and an ascending...

...solidified bath and alumina. The formation, flotation and break up of these agglomerates is determined by macroscopic properties (i.e. size, density etc.) which in turn is related to microscopic properties, i.e. how grains are interconnected. The formation of rafts delays the dissolution of alumina and thus adversely...

This presentation features the current state of research with respect to wetting and friction of elastomers. Plasma and varnished elastomer composites have been characterized by different wetting methods and friction investigations. Furthermore, it has been shown that the use of graphene-like fillers...
