Naphthenic acids and TAN are one of the ever-increasing crucial problems in oil, shale oil and sand oil industry and also environment protection. Furtherer, they increases the corrosion of some parts of a refinery and transport pipelines and also can create nanoemulsions and make complicated the refining process especially in desalters. To prevent these problems it is important to first obtain ...

introduction regular intake of n-3 fatty acids of marine origin have desirable effects on serum lipoproteins and reduce coronary vascular disease (cvd). n-3 fatty acid supplementation decreased serum triglyceride concentrations in studies in which most of the subjects were male. the effects of n-3 fatty acids supplementation in fat women especially postmenopausal fat women have received little ...

two dimensional thin layer chromatography on polyamide sheets is a useful method for identification of pth-amino acids which have very close rf-values. the solvent systems described here are particularly effective and have an edge over other solvent systems used for the separation of pth-amino acids. the solvent systems provide a clear separation of all pth-amono acids except lle / leu in a rel...

background: the use of alternative disinfectants and the control of natural organic material are two approaches that are typically applied in water treatment utilities to reduce the formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products in recent years. catalytic ozonation as a new technology is used to promote the efficiency of the single ozonation processes. the purpose of this study was to invest...

background: the high percentage of consumed antibiotics by humans and animals is excreted with other residues from the body after its performance. by entering these compounds to the wastewater, they can disrupt the anaerobic treatment process. in this study, deterrent behavior of two ampicillin and gentamicin antibiotics are investigated on specific methanogenic activity (sma) of anaerobic biom...

background: the term caustic generally refers to alkaline and the term corrosive generally refers to acidic agents' injury however, in medical literature caustic is frequently a term applied to both substances. ingested alkali typically damage the esophagus more than stomach or duodenum, whereas acids usually cause more severe gastric injury. since esophagus has a slightly alkaline ph, its...

in an endeavor to find a novel series of antihyperglycemic agents, new benzimidazole and pyrimidine derivatives were successfully synthesized efficiently in high yield with high purity, starting from amino acids in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride (pocl3). the synthesized compounds were identified by 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr, ft-ir spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. all products were...
