The study of the optical rotatory properties of synthetic polypeptides in organic solvents has contributed considerably to our understanding of the structural organization of globular proteins. However, in contrast to the extensive literature which has accumulated in the past decade on the various polyamino acids (l-3), relatively little work has been done on actual proteins in organic solvents...

Finding an environment-friendly and affordable method to remove contaminated soils from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) has now become an attractive field for researchers, with super-critical fluid extraction being an innovative process in the field of contaminated soil treatment. Extraction with super-critical fluid is a simple and rapid extraction process that uses super-critical flui...

A method for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of drugs of abuse (opiates, cocaine, or amphetamines) and prescribed drugs (tricyclic antidepressants, phenotiazines, benzodiazepines, etc.) in biological fluids--blood, urine, bile, and gastric contents--was developed. This procedure involves solid-phase extraction with Bond-Elut Certify columns followed by analysis by ga...

The purpose of the work presented here was to evaluate the influence of solution composition and analyte characteristics on responsiveness to analysis with negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The responses of a series of structurally diverse acidic molecules were compared in various solvents. Response was generally observed to be higher in methanol than acetonitrile and resp...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are considered to be ideal multifunctional materials for biorelated applications, but there is still some controversy regarding their toxicity. In addition, the poor dispersibility of MWCNTs in either water or organic solvents has limited their practical applications. Therefore, obtaining a good dispersion is one of the key issues in their applications. In ...

Considering the literature for aqueous rechargeable Zn//MnO2 batteries with acidic electrolytes using doctor blade coating of active material (AM), carbon black (CB), and binder polymer (BP) positive electrode fabrication, different types (non-)aqueous solvents were introduced so far. Furthermore, in most cases, relatively high passive (CB+BP) shares ~30 wt% applied. The first part this work fo...

The main goal of this study was to prepare and characterize ion exchangers on nanofibrous polystyrene matrix. Starting nanofibers were sulfonated and crosslinked at the same time by sulfuric acid. Strongly acidic cation exchanger was obtained in such a way. Anion exchanger was prepared by reaction of ethylene diamine with sulfochlorides on nanofibers acquired from sulfogroups. The polymer matri...

Gelatine is a product produced from collagen hydrolysis. Solvents that can be use in the manufacture of gelatin are acidic and basic solutions. The acid used this experiment hydrochloric (HCl). quality factor gelatine determined amount yield, moisture content, ash content. also depends on concentration solution. This aims to determine effect HCl content duck feet, find produce best form tendenc...

The chemical regeneration of granular activated carbon exhausted in a petrochemical wastewater unit was investigated. Gas chromatography and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy demonstrated that spent activated carbon carries large types of organic and inorganic materials. Diverse chemical solvents were adopted in comparison with traditional chemical solvents and regeneration efficiency was in...

For the synthesis of Mequinol (4-methoxy phenol), two acidic ionic liquids based on imidazolium cation (BMSIL and IMSIL) synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and CHNS analyses. Tan, the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of para-anisaldehyde was studied with these ionic liquids, as the catalysts. The results showed that the BMSIL with more Brønsted acidic functions had higher c...
