MnCo2O4 (MnO-Co2O3) nanocomposite as a binary oxide has been successfully prepared by precipitation method using cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate as the precursors and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive micro-analysis (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. In this work, we report the hydrolysis kinetics reactions of semi mustard (chloroethyl ethy...

The underlying mechanisms governing nonenzymatic pectin and pectate degradation during thermal treatment have not yet been fully elucidated. This study determined the extent of nonenzymatic degradation due to beta-elimination, acid hydrolysis, and demethylation during prolonged heating of citrus pectins and its influence on physicochemical properties. Solutions of citrus pectins, buffered from ...

Fundamental features of microbial cellulose utilization are examined at successively higher levels of aggregation encompassing the structure and composition of cellulosic biomass, taxonomic diversity, cellulase enzyme systems, molecular biology of cellulase enzymes, physiology of cellulolytic microorganisms, ecological aspects of cellulase-degrading communities, and rate-limiting factors in nat...

A series of complexes of the type trans-[Co(acacen)(amine)2]ClO4, where (acacen) is the (bis(acetyleacetone) ethylenediimine) and the amines are Benzyl amine (bzlan) 1, 2-amino pyrimidine (2ampy) 2, N-methylpipirazine (nmpip) 3, 3-methyl pyridine (3mpy) 4, p-toluidine (p-toldn) 5, has been synthesized and characterized by uv-vis. and FT-IR. The kinetics of the substitu...

An improved model for enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is developed that considers oligomer reactions with beta-glucanases, inhibition of oligomers to cellulases and enzyme decay processes during hydrolysis. Our oligomer reactions with beta-glucanases are modeled based on the enzymatic glucan chain fragmentation kinetics to describe the further fragmentation of oligomers in solution after bein...
