The catalytic performance of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different surface chemistry was studied in the decomposition reaction of H2O2 at various values of pH and temperature. A comparative analysis of experimental and quantum chemical calculation results is given. It has been shown that both the lowest calculated activation energy (∼18.9 kJ/mol) and the highest rate constant co...

The Present paper deals with the study of synthesis and characterisation of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(III) complexes of polystyrene with 2-aminobenzaldehyde phenyl hydrazone ligand. The study is supported by magnetic susceptibility, infrared and UV-visible spectral study and thermal studies. The ligand and its metal complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activity using S.aureus and...

Hydrogen peroxide 0.1% was photolyzed using 17W low pressure mercury arc lamp and 125 W high pressure mercury arc lamp. The decomposition kinetics was followed through the pseudofirst order kinetics and different conditions of temperature and pH were explored. H2O2 0.1% was also photolyzed at 360 nm through a new UV-LED 3W light source using a flow reactor. The kinetics rate constant achieved w...

Pervious asphalt concrete (PAC) pavement is an environmentally friendly type of due to its highly porous structure. However, with the increase in service life PAC, small substances such as damaged rubber particles, industrial dust, sand, and grease collected rainwater infiltrate voids PAC so that it loses original pervious structure functions. In order explore effects chemical pore-clearing met...

background: poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) are the groups of organic chemical material and toxic, persistent, bio accumulate and pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. pcb compounds are caused the different health effects in human depending of age, sex, route of entry, intensity and frequency exposure. this study was conducted to determine the effect of m...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have proved very effective in treatment of the various hazardous organic pollutants in water. The photocatalytic degradation of two azo dyes, monoazo dye Acid Orange 10 (AO10) and diazo dye Acid Red114(AR114) present in wastewater were studied. Homogeneous photocatalytic degradation of the two azo dyes with UV/H2O2 process was investigated. The rates of disap...

We have recently proposed a mechanism for the epoxidation of cyclooctene by H2O2 catalyzed by iron(III) [tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)]porphyrin chloride, (F20TPP)FeCl, in solvent containing methanol [Stephenson, N. A.; Bell, A.T. Inorg. Chem. 2006, 45, 2758-2766]. In that study, we found that catalysis did not occur unless (F20TPP)FeCl first dissociated, a process facilitated by the solvation of...

OBJECTIVES The effect of Podophyllum hexandrum methanolic extract and alpha-tocopherol in reducing oxidative stress in male albino rats was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lipid peroxidation was monitored by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) level in different tissues of rats. Activities of free radical scavenging enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) were determi...

in this research iron manganese oxide nanocomposites were prepared by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods by using iron (iii) nitrate, iron (ii) sulfate and manganese (ii) nitrate as starting materials. these nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of various catalyst beds. the polyvinyl pyrrolidon (pvp) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nano...
