The adsorption of Sarin was systematically explored on a series transition metal (Zinc, Copper, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Chromium) embedded graphene by Density Functional Theory calculations. These computations revealed that carbon systems impregnated with Chromium, to lesser extent, Molybdenum show very high affinity towards this chemical warfare agent. In-depth analysis the interactions in ca...

(E)-3-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 1-benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained converted to corresponding azide II, which cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether [1]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-1(2H)-one (III). This compound aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride chloroderivative IV reduced zinc and acetic title V. [1]Benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-2-ox...

Water resource scarcity, population growth, pollution of surface and groundwater by discharging toxic wastewater and subsequent diseases may raise the necessity of reusing and treatment of wastewater. Cyanide is one of the toxic materials which can be found in some industrial wastewaters. Strict laws set by international bodies have forced industries to work on developing efficient cyanide remo...

Due to the present water shortage and environmental problems associated with industrial effluent, investigation of novel treatment technologies is an essential approach. Being a highly toxic chemical of asphyxiating characteristics, cyanide is seen as a major environmental pollutant in a wide range of industrial effluents. The present study aimed to address the adsorption and photocatalytic deg...

Processing of gold ores with high sulfide minerals is problematic as they consume cyanide and reduce gold leaching. Optimization of gold leaching and cyanide consumption requires a methodology to estimate the amount of exposed cyanicides, their leaching kinetics, and speciation of cyanide complexes that consume the free cyanide and compete with gold. In this paper, a physico-chemical approach i...

Phytoremediation counts as a major method for future which essentially needs resistance to contaminating agents. We pretreated the plants (Salix babylonica, as a model plant in phytoremediation of polluted waters) by sodium cyanide (0, 3 and 5 mg CN- L-1) to induce resistance with regard to acclimation and then examined their resistance to higher concentrations of cyanide. Accordingly, some of ...
