The Mo-based polyoxometalates containing mono- and dicobalt(III) catalyst cores, [CoMo(6)O(24)H(6)](3-) and [Co(2)Mo(10)O(38)H(4)](6-), were found to serve as O(2)-evolving catalysts in a system consisting of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) and sodium persulfate (S(2)O) in an aqueous borate buffer solution at pH 8.0. Kinetics of O(2) evolution reveals that the higher cobalt ...

This article describes a novel one-step method to prepare cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from bleached bagasse pulp via ammonium persulfate (APS) oxidation. The obtained persulfate oxidation cellulose nanocrystals (POCNs) were characterized for their microstructure, crystal properties, and chemical composition. The POCNs were successfully prepared with a total yield of 44.6%. Transmission electr...

The sulfate radicals (SO4•−)-based advanced oxidation process is an efficient way to degrade stubborn pollutants. However, the degradation products of 2,4-dinitrotoluene and effects different natural water matrices on by persulfate/Fe2+ are largely unknown. In this study, kinetics were investigated in matrices. can be divided into rapid-slow reaction stages, which was suitably described pseudo-...

Provocación bronquial específica en el trabajo y asma ocupacional por sales de persulfato To the Editor: Persulfate salts are the agents most commonly associated with occupational asthma (OA) among hairdressers. 1 Although the first cases were described decades ago, the prevalence, mechanism, value of diagnostic tests and the progress of these patients remain poorly defined. We present the case...

In this study, the emulsion homopolymerization system containing vinyl acetate, potassium persulfate, a new cationic polymeric surfactant and water was studied by the applying semi-continuous emulsion polymerization process. The effects of new polymeric emulsifier on the physicochemical properties of obtained vinyl acetate latexes were investigated depending on vinyl acetate percentage in the p...

An absorption system has been combined with an electrochemical cell to treat a gaseous stream polluted toluene. Toluene retention in 3 h operation tests was higher than 87.0% the case of treating single scrubbing, 97.0% using electro-scrubbing and over 99.0% cobalt-mediated electro-scrubbing. It found that amount toluene escapes from electro-scrubber does not only depend on flow rate but also c...

* Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Objective(s): The main aim of current research was to develop a novel magnetically responsive hydrogel by radical polymerization of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on acryl amide (Am) using N,N'-methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent, potassium persulfate (KPS) as a free radical initiator, and magnetic montmorillonite ( mMT)...

The metal-free synthesis of 2-substituted and 2,3-disubstituted morpholines through a one-pot strategy is described. A simple and inexpensive ammonium persulfate salt enables the reaction of aziridines with halogenated alcohols to proceed via an SN2-type ring opening followed by cyclization of the resulting haloalkoxy amine.
