Application of mesoporous silica containing benzotriazole in the epoxy coating applied to plain carbon steel and study of its corrosion behavior

The idea of smart inhibitors is based on the principle that an inhibitor is used where needed. This will reduce the use of inhibitors and protect materials in hostile environments. On the other hand, direct addition of the inhibitor within the coating can be harmful, resulting in the loss of inhibitors ability, deterioration in the coating or both of them. An appropriate method for solving thes...

A Comparative Study of Biodiesel Production from Beef Bone Marrow

This study is concerned with the viability of producing biodiesel from waste beef bone fat and evaluate this product according to the quality requirements defined by ASTM D- 6751. Accordingly, beef bone fat was heated to remove the moisture under vacuum at 60 . Alkaline Catalysed Transesterfication was carried out by  using 6:1 molar ratio of ethanol to fat in the presence of 1% w/w sodium hydr...

Acid Catalysed Condesation of Phloroglucinol and Acetone-Kinetics and Mechanism

The kinetic study of the condensation reaction between phloroglucinol and acetone was investigated at 30, 35, 40 and 45±0.05 °C in 100% methanol. The hydrochloric acid concentrations used were 0.0261, 0.0364, 0.0577 and 0.0728 M. The reaction was investigated with and without a promoter, thioglycollic acid (TGA), and taking into account the functionality (h<e...

AMACR Detection in Urine Samples. Lack of Clinical Application in Routine Practice

PSA is still recognized as the best marker available for detection and treatment monitoring of prostate cancer. However limitations of PSA testing raise a need for other valuable cancer markers. Expression of AMACR protein is recognized as a potential predictive marker, highly competitive to the PSA. Based on preliminary study on AMACR urine detection, the urine without prior prostate manipulat...
