background: this study aimed at determining the appropriate method for dewatering and drying biomass and selecting a suitable organic solvent for lipid extraction. methods: nannochloropsis oculata was cultured in gillard f/2 medium and after reaching the end of the stationary growth phase, algal biomass was separated from aqueous by centrifuge and dried through three methods: oven, air-dried an...

in this investigation, cuins2 ternary compound was synthesized by injection of thiourea solution into a hot copper-indium solution. the cucl, incl3 along with (sc (nh2)2) were used as a precursor dissolved in high boiling point solvent such as oleylamine (ch(ch2)17nh2) and oleic acid (ch(ch2)16cooh) as a coordination solvent and capping agent, respectively. the size, distribution and shape were...

heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of cyclohexene, catalyzed by pt/a1203, was carried out in thirteenvarious solvents (four alcoholic solvents, six aprotic polar solvents and three non polar solvents) at 25 °c.single-parameter correlations of logk vs. normalized polarity parameter (etn), hydrogen-bond acceptorbasicity (p), hydrogen-bond donor acidity (a) and dipolarity/polarizibility (it*) d...

copper (ii) phthalocyanine and 2,9,16,23 tetrakis nitro copper (ii) phthalocyaninehas been synthesized respectively from phthalonitrile and 4-nitro phthalonitrile under solvent-free condition using two different catalystsovernanodimensionalzeolites. 4-nitro phthalonitrile synthesized from phthalimide in three steps. the newly prepared compounds have been characterized by ir, uv-vis, 1hnmr and m...

The solute-solvent interface that separates biological molecules from their surrounding aqueous solvent characterizes the conformation and dynamics of such molecules. In this work, we construct a solvent fluid dielectric boundary model for the solvation of charged molecules and apply it to study the stability of a model cylindrical solute-solvent interface. The motion of the solute-solvent inte...

The contribution of solvent-solvent hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions to the attraction between methane molecules in water was investigated by comparing the potential of mean force (PMF) between two methane molecules in TIP4P water to those in a series of related liquids in which the solvent-solvent interactions were progressively turned off while keeping the solvent-solute intera...
