Oxidation kinetics of hazelnut oil treated with ozone

Adulteration of Olive Oil with Hazelnut Oil: to Enable Detection of Unrefined and Refined Hazelnut Oil in Virgin and Refined Olive Oil

Ozone decomposition kinetics on alumina: effects of ozone partial pressure, relative humidity and repeated oxidation cycles

The room temperature kinetics of gas-phase ozone loss via heterogeneous interactions with thin alumina films has been studied in real-time using 254 nm absorption spectroscopy to monitor ozone concentrations. The films were prepared from dispersions of fine alumina powder in methanol and their surface areas were determined by an in situ procedure using adsorption of krypton at 77 K. The alumina...

Comparison of thermodynamics and kinetics of reaction of the ozone with mercury, silver and gold

In this work, we report results of calculations based on the density functional theory of different species metal-ozone, containing mercury, silver and gold. The chosen species range from small molecules and large transition-metal containing ozone with mercury, silver and gold complexes. A comparative analysis of the description of the metal-oxygen bond obtained by different methodologies is pr...

Synthesis and characterization of hazelnut oil-based biodiesel

The demand for diesel fuel far exceeds the current and future biodiesel production capabilities of the vegetable oil and animal fat industries. New oilseed crops that do not compete with traditional food crop are needed to meet existing energy demands. Hybrid hazelnut oil is just such an attractive raw material for production of biodiesel. Hazelnut oil was extracted from hybrid hazelnuts and th...

Oxidation of antibacterial molecules by aqueous ozone: moiety-specific reaction kinetics and application to ozone-based wastewater treatment.

Ozone and hydroxyl radical (*OH) reaction kinetics were measured for 14 antibacterial compounds from nine structural families, to determine whether municipal wastewater ozonation is likely to result in selective oxidation of these compounds' biochemically essential moieties. Each substrate is oxidized by ozone with an apparent second-order rate constant, k''(O3,app) > 1 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1), at ...
