Concurrent removal of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) from wastewater by nanostructured layered sodium vanadosilicate: competitive adsorption kinetics and mechanisms by Zhang, Xiaoyuan, Liu, Yu

“…Based on the experimental results obtained, the working mechanisms of nanostructured layered sodium vanadosilicates for Ni2+, Co2+ and Cu2+adsorption could be attributed to ion-exchange with sodium ion, surface electrostatic interaction and the formation of copper vanadium oxide. Consequently, this study clearly showed that nanostructured layered sodium vanadosilicates was an excellent adsorbent for fast and effective removal of soluble Cu2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ in a ternary system, while competitive adsorption among various metal ions revealed in this study may game-change the principles of design and operation of a multi-component system for wastewater treatment.…”

Low-profile and end-fire antennas for airborne applications by Chen, Zhuozhu

“…A wideband coaxial-to-waveguide transition is proposed by employing a tapered ridge and metallic posts in order to enhance the bandwidth and to effectively suppress higher-order modes in the waveguide. An ellipse-shaped copper taper is extended along the horn aperture in order to obtain a smooth transition from horn aperture to free space. …”
