Optimization of Anatase TiO₂ Photocatalyst for Diclofenac Degradation by Using Response Surface Methodology by Desalegn Abdissa Akuma, Henrik Lund, Thi Thanh Hoa Duong, Fekadu Fufa, Jennifer Strunk, Norbert Steinfeldt

“…The synthesized materials were characterized using various techniques and tested under simulated sunlight irradiation for the photocatalytic degradation of the drug diclofenac sodium (DCF), for which the pseudo-first-order apparent degradation rate constant and mineralization efficiency were determined. A pure anatase phase with high photocatalytic activity (up to 97% TOC removal) was obtained when TiO₂ was synthesized at between 70 °C and 100 °C and calcined at between 400 °C and 500 °C. …”

Engine Power Required When Using a Tractor with a Technology Module by M. V. Sidorov, A. V. Lavrov, V. A. Voronin, A. V. Sidorova

“…(Results and discussion) The authors showed that for a modular power unit with a 6K6 wheel arrangement, it is necessary to consider a number of additional factors having an impact on the accuracy of the calculation: firstly, the tractor’s traction and coupling properties depend on the number of driving axles; secondly, the wheel slippage along individual axes is not the same and occurs due to a constructively conditioned kinematic discrepancy in their drive; thirdly, the three-axle transmission efficiency can be determined only as a total indicator of three transmission branches, that is, to drive the tractor front and rear wheels and, separately, to drive the wheels of the technological module. …”
