this article reports a study of the thermo-oxidation and biodegradation in the soil of low-density polyethylene/starch films (ldpe/starch) by infrared spectroscopy: films of ldpe/starch blends of different composition (starch content range from 0 to 15% w/w),were prepared and exposed to thermo-oxidation at different temperatures at 80, 90 and 100°c,and buried in the soil of public dump during 3...

In the present work we aim to clarify the role of the microstructure and the crystalline distribution from the thermo-oxidation of solid isotactic PP (iPP) and ethylene-propylene (EP) copolymers. The effects of the content and quality of the isotacticity interruptions, together with the associated average isotactic length, on the induction time (ti) as well as on the activation energy (Eact) of...

The thermo-neutrophilic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Hydrogenobacter thermophilus constitutively oxidizes thiosulfate. Soluble extracts of it showed temperature-dependent thiosulfate oxidation activity with an optimum at 60 degrees C. A gene cluster for sox (sulfur oxidation) is presumably responsible for this activity. Among the cluster, two tandemly coded soxA genes were uniquely found. These...

Headspace solid-phase microextraction was used to extract low-molecular mass degradation products formed during thermo-oxidation of virgin and inplant recycled polyamide 6.6 at 100°C for up to 1200 hours. A total of 20 degradation products were identified using GC-MS. The identified degradation products shared some common structural features and were categorised into four different groups: cycl...

To match the relentless pursuit of three research hot points - efficient solar utilization, green and sustainable remediation of wastewater and advanced oxidation processes, solar-mediated thermo-electrochemical oxidation of surfactant was proposed and developed for green remediation of surfactant wastewater. The solar thermal electrochemical process (STEP), fully driven with solar energy to el...

Suitable analytical markers to assess the degree of degradation of historic silk textiles at molecular and macroscopic levels have been identified and compared with silk textiles aged artificially in different environments, namely (i) ultraviolet (UV) exposure, (ii) thermo-oxidation, (iii) controlled humidity and (iv) pH. The changes at the molecular level in the amino acid composition, the for...

in this research oxidation kinetic panceuo.s (p.s) by s2o8-2 at the presence of agno3 ascatalyst was studied.the method was spectrophotometer following absorption spectrum (p.s) inwave length of 518 nm. after improving the condition such as ph, p.s concentration, k2s2o8concentration, ionic strength, temperature, rate constant, activation energy, constant frequency,order reaction and thermo dyna...
