There is significant interest in broadening the type of catalyst substrates that support the growth of high-quality carbon nanotube (CNT) carpets. In this study, ion beam bombardment has been utilized to modify catalyst substrates for CNT carpet growth. Using a combination of contact angle measurements (CAMs) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) for the first time, new correlations between the physicoc...

Antimalarial chloroquine (CQ) prevents haematin detoxication when CQ-base concentrates in the acidic digestive vacuole through protonation of its p-aminopyridine (pAP) basic aromatic nitrogen and sidechain diethyl-N. CQ export through the variant vacuolar membrane export channel, PFCRT, causes CQ-resistance in Plasmodium falciparum but 3-methyl CQ (sontochin SC), des-ethyl amodiaquine (DAQ) and...

Boron-boron multiple bonds, such as those found in diborenes and diborynes, are typically stabilized by σ-donor ligands that furnish electron density to these otherwise electron-deficient species. These compounds not only of fundamental importance the study chemical bonding, but can also activate small molecules a chemistry reminiscent carried out transition metals. In pursuit designing new imp...

Solid fuelization technology can increase the heating value of sewage sludge such that it be utilised as a fossil fuel substitutes. Reducing landfilling bottom and fly ash resulting from heavy metals contained in is challenging. Hence, combustion melting (CMT), which discharge form slag, has been proposed herein an alternative to conventional incineration technology. However, further research r...

Abstract This work aimed to study the preparation of cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) used as catalyst for biodiesel production from palm oil. The precipitation method was in synthesis. effects oxalic concentrations and stirring rates process were investigated. Oxalic acid added into (Ce) ethylenediaminetetraacetic solution form Ce oxalate before calcined obtain CeO . results showed that slightly affect m...
