This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different extraction solvents, including hydro-alcoholic (H-A), ethanolic (Et-OH), and methanolic (Me-OH), on chemical composition and synergistic antibacterial activity of Frangula alnus extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The chemical composition of the F. alnus bark extract was eval...

the removal performance of total poly phenols and orthodiphenols (o-diphenols) content in olive mill waste (omw) was investigated with a three stages cross flow laboratory scale rotating biological contactor (rbc) in the present study. due to high cod and other pollutant in the original omw, physico-chemical treatment was effected for cod and other pollutant reduction prior to biological treatm...

In this paper, a novel catalyst (MgAl2O4@SiO2-PTA) was proposed for the green oxidation of aliphatic alcohols. The resultant composite was characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, FT-IR, EDX and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The prepared nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for oxidation of aliphatic alco...

Despite their low concentrations, secondary metabolites are essential to the organoleptic quality of grapevine fruit. Anthocyanins fruit skin cells principal components pigmentation red grape. Glycosylated aroma precursors (GAPs), i.e. alcohols, C13-norisoprenoids, phenols and terpenes determine potential juice resulting wine. The regulation sink/source (S/S) balance is considered as a one more...

Unsubstituted phthalocyanines of Co, Fe and Mn supported on zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared and were well characterized with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The oxidation of alcohols with tert-butylhydroperoxide, in the presence of metallophthalocyanines supported on zinc oxide nanoparticles was investigated. These MPc/ZnO nanocomposites were effective catalysts for t...

Acetaldehyde is a typical toxic substance of the petrochemical industry. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an important role in wastewater treatment. Therefore, molecular weight, hydrophilicity, and chemical composition DOC acetaldehyde were evaluated. First, weight (MW) distribution was investigated; results showed that mainly composed components with MW less than 1 kDa, possessed higher pr...

Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used for a variety of topical hard-surface applications. A wide biocides as active chemical agents is found in these products, including alcohols, phenols, iodine, chlorine. Many demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; however, the mode action not well-documented. This review focused on several examples ionic systems based surfactants liq...

BACKGROUND Mushrooms in the genus Agaricus have worldwide distribution and include the economically important species A. bisporus. Some Agaricus species are inedible, including A. placomyces and A. pseudopratensis, which are similar in appearance to certain edible species, yet are known to possess unpleasant odours and induce gastrointestinal problems if consumed. We have studied the chemical c...

3-methyl-1-(4-sulfobuthyl)-1-h-imidazol-3ium hydrogen sulfate, as a dual acidic ionic liquid (dail), was found to be an efficient catalyst for the simple, rapid and green synthesis of substituted trisphenols from the condensation of different substituted phenols and 2,6-bis (methylol) phenols (bmp). dail catalyst efficiently promoted the reaction between phenols and bmps with a variety of funct...

nitration of phenol and various 4-substituted phenols with cu(no3)2.3h2o, cu(no3)2.3h2o/sio2, 9h2o and cr(no3)2. 9h2o in different anhydrous organic solvents are investigated. high selectivity ratio of para vs ortho isomers has been observed. mono- and dinitro compounds from phenol and 4-substituted phenols by choosing the proper solvents and reaction conditions, are also obtained with high sel...
