Abstract: the competition between the precipitation of cobalt ions and evolution of hydrogen gas on the cathode surface duringthe reduction process in a sulfate bath, investigation on the mechanism of metal precipitation is of great importance.In the present work, study on the kinetics of cobalt electrowinning and the mechanism of the involved reactions havebeen carried out. The obtained result...

The title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)O, was synthesized from 1-naphthol and 1,2-dichloro-benzene with anhydrous aluminium chloride as a cataylst. In the mol-ecule, the two ring systems are approximately perpendicular to one other with a dihedral angle of 82.06 (4)°. There are two CH-type hydrogen bonds.

The classical penetration theory was corrected and then applied for the semi-theoretical prediction of mass transfer coefficients kLa in a slurry bubble column operated in the homogeneous regime. The gas-liquid contact time was expressed as a ratio of bubble surface to the rate of surface formation. These terms were defined for the case of oblate ellipsoidal bubbles formed under homogeneous flo...

Hydrogen, electric energy production, and metal toxic bioremediation are some of the biotechnological applications sulfate-reducing organisms, which potentially depend on sulfide produced. In this study, offshore Yucatan, capacity to produce hydrogen using microbial consortia from marine sediment (SC469, PD102, SD636) in batch reactors was evaluated. Kinetic tests were characterized by lactate ...

Tetrachloroethene (PCE) dehalorespiration was investigated in a continuous coculture of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio fructosivorans and the dehalorespiring Desulfitobacterium frappieri TCE1 at different sulfate concentrations and in the absence of sulfate. Fructose (2.5 mM) was the single electron donor, which could be used only by the sulfate reducer. With 2.5 mM sulfate, the d...

In the title compound, 2C5H12N+·SO42-·2C3H8N2S, the C=S groups of the two independent 1,3-di-methyl-urea mol-ecules and the sulfur atom of the anion lie on twofold axes. The packing is centred on bis-(piperidinium) sulfate ribbons parallel to the c axis; the cations are hydrogen bonded to the sulfate by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions. The 1,3-di-methyl-urea mol-ecules are also hydrogen bonded to...

We studied thermophilic sulfate reduction with methanol as electron donor in continuous cultures. Mixed cultures of selected microorganisms were used, representing different methanol degrading pathways followed by various trophic groups of microorganisms. Our results show that direct competition for methanol between a homoacetogen, Moorella thermoautotrophica, and a sulfate reducer, Desulfotoma...

An efficient, mild and environmentally friendly method was developed for the Strecker reaction to synthesize α-aminonitriles in the presence of methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Hmim][HSO4]) as an efficient catalyst. These syntheses were performed via a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes (or ketones), amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild and solvent free c...
