Regioselective nucleophilic addition of electron rich aromatics to the beta-position of acetal carbon of p-benzoquinone mono O,S-acetal was achieved by modifying the acetal moiety.

The preparation of heterodinuclear complexes, especially those comprising early-late transition metals coordinated by a simple or symmetrical ancillary ligand, represents a fundamental challenge and an opportunity to prepare catalysts benefitting from synergic properties. Here, two new mixed titanium(iv)-zinc(ii) complexes, [LTi(OiPr)2ZnEt] and [LTi(OiPr)2ZnPh], both coordinated by a diphenolat...

A novel non-precious multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs)—supported metal oxide electrocatalyst was developed for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. The catalyst was fabricated by simultaneous electrodeposition of copper-cobalt-nickel ternary nanostructures (CuCoNi) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with CNTs. The proposed electrode was characterized using X-ray diffraction ...

The three-dimensional (3D) electrochemical treatment process was studied for the removal of two pharmaceuticals, diclofenac (anti-inflammatory) and sulfamethoxazole (antibiotic), in mono bi-component systems. Adsorption conventional two-dimensional processes were initially then combined to develop 3D process. influence different operating parameters on efficiency studied: distance between catho...

Approximately 10-20% of the total dyes in the world is consumed in the textile industry. The present study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) immobilized on synthetic activated carbon in the removal of the acid blue 113 dye from aqueous solutions. This experimental study was conducted in a photo-reactor with the useful volume of one liter. The eff...

background: in this study, adsorbentn process performance was assessed using nickel oxide nanoparticles for wastewater treatment containing mono azo orange ii dye in a laboratory scale. methods: the effects of various factors such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, ph and initial dye concentration were investigated. findings: based on the obtained results, the optimum ph range to dye removal is...

ultraviolet waves, because of their short wavelength, have a high energy and considerable damaging effects on surfaces. protection against ultraviolet radiations is one of the finishing treatments done on surfaces exposed to sunlight. the importance of this issue in relation to human health, due to complications such as skin burns and cancer, is doubled. up to now, different materials such as z...
