چکیده

IR spectra of anthracene and pyrene derivatives, serving as models for isolated, linear and isolated, compact PAHs, respectively, have been calculated using ab-initio quantum mechanical methods. The separate and combined effects of ionization and multiple dehydrogenation have been studied. This study confirms and refines the trends of our preliminary paper on the smallest possible PAH, naphthalene. If small PAHs are responsible for any UIR bands, they should be ionized and partially dehydrogenated, with a few triple bonds at the periphery of the carbon skeleton.

Reactor modeling and kinetic parameters estimation for diethylbenzene (DEB) dehydrogenation reactions

Divinylbenzene (DVB) is produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of DEB at high temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ethylvinylbenzene (EVB) is produced as a useful chemical during dehydrogenation of DEB. Also some other liquid and gaseous by products is produced during dehydrogenation. A set-up has been developed to conduct the DEB dehydrogenation reactions experiments to prepare DVB at differen...

Effects of quercetin on ionizing radiation-induced cellular responses in HepG2 cells

Background: Quercetin has been reported to modulate cell proliferation and apoptosis. The present study aimed at identifying whether treatment of ionizing radiation (IR) combined with quercetin induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells were plated at an appropriate density according to each experimental scale and irradiated with 1, 5 and 10 Gy gamma-rays from a 60Co s...

Effect of electrokinetic on biodegradation of fluorene and phenanthrene in soil

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic compounds. Removal of these compounds has a great importance for environment. Removal of PAHs from soil is difficult as these chemicals are persistent in the soil. In this research, bioremediation of soil contaminated by (PAH) using Bacillus subtilis DSMZ 3256 (B.subtilis) strains was studied. The effect of electrokin...

Computational Chemistry of Anthracene (PAH) Removal by SWNT Nano-filters: DFT

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (such as, anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene and so on) are non-polar, hydrophobic compounds, which are not ionized. They are only slightly soluble in water. They are very dangerous compounds in the environment. The single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is used for removal and conversion of anthracene to low-risk products. In this study, electron transfer between anthrac...
