The new platelet antiaggregant Triflusal or 2-acetoxy-4-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid presents a structural analogy to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Alkaline hydrolysis of triflusal was studied in the presence and absence of cationic micelles of N-cetyl-N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide (CDEABr) at different KOH concentrations and different temperatures (25, 30, and 37 degrees C) using a spectro...

Activated graphene absorbents with high specific surface area (SSA) were prepared by an easy KOH-activated method, and were applied in absorbing antibiotics, such as tetracycline (TC). After activation, many micropores were introduced to graphene oxide sheets, leading to higher SSA and many new oxygen-containing functional groups, which gave KOH-activated graphene excellent adsorption capacity ...

Carbonaceous adsorbents with controllable surface area and the microporous volume ratio (Vmicro/Vpore) were activated from carbonized corncobs (i.e., char) with KOH etching plus CO2 gasification in this work. Activated carbons derived from KOH/char ratio equal to 1 and CO2 gasification time from 0 to 60 min exhibited BET surface area increasing from 1071 to 1991 m2 g−1 and the Vmicro/Vpore valu...
