Macroalgae are considered as the 3rd generation of biofuels and a future feedstock for biorefinery. This research aims to provide simple dependable analytical techniques measuring thermal characteristics dried seaweed. The main objective was investigate four seaweed species utilizing thermogravimetric analyzer. seaweeds Gracilaria fisheri, Caulerpa lentillifera, Ceramium rubrum, Eucheuma cotton...

Thermogravimetric analysis of polyethylene oxide (powder and nanofibers obtained by force spinning water or chloroform solutions oxide) was studied using different theoretical models such as Friedman Flynn-Wall-Ozawa. A semiempirical approach for estimating the “sigmoid activation energy” from thermal degradation suggested confirmed experimental data on PEO powder nanofibers' mats. The equation...

Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes of N-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies (IR, (1)H and (13)C-NMR). The single crystal X-ray structure of the mercury complex revealed that the complex contains a Hg centre with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere in which the dinuclear Hg complex resides on a crystallograph...
