background: the widespread use of toluene and its consequent adverse effects on health and specially its chronic effects on the central nervous system has resulted in many studies being carried out on the methods that can control and reduce toluene vapors in the airflow. the objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the catalytic ozonation process in the removal of toluene from ...

we have used tungestophosphoric acid to catalyze oxidative amidation reaction from benzyl alcohols and methylarens with hydrochloride salts of amines. to achieve this purpose, modified magnetic nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@sio2@h3pw12o40) were applied as catalyst and tbhp as external oxidant. after optimizing, different derivates of benzamides were synthesized in good yields. also, the result of two ...

a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determinationof vanadium (iv). the method is based on the catalytic effect of v (iv) on the oxidation of alkali blue bypotassium bromate at ph 4. the rate of decrease in the absorbance of alkali blue (at 572 nm) wasproportional to the concentration of v (iv) in the range of 100-6000 ng ml-1. the detection limit wa...

the waste tyres represent a source of energy and valuable hydrocarbon products. waste tyres were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. the effects of basic catalysts (mgo and caco3) were studied on the pyrolysis products. the distribution ratio of gas, liquid and char with mgo and caco3 were 24.4:39.8:35.8 wt % and 32.5:32.2:35.2 wt % respectively at 350°c for 2...

a catalytic-kinetic method for the determination of selenium is proposed. alizarin navy blue is reduced by sodium sulfide to from a colorless product. the reaction is accelerated by trace amounts of se (iv), and can be followed by measuring the decrease in absorbance of the dye at 620nm and 30 °c by the fixed time method. selenium can be determined in the range of 0.004 — 0.12 1.1g.m1-1 . ...

Catalytic effects of cupric ion (Cu2+) and zero-valent copper (Cu0) on ozonation in aqueous solution were discussed this research using 1,4-dioxane as a radical probe. Ozonation with Cu0 enhance...

The nanoporous AuPd (AuPdNPore) alloy catalyst showed superior chemoselectivity and high catalytic activity for the direct 1,4-hydrosilylation of the conjugated cyclic enones with hydrosilane in comparison with the monometallic nanoporous Au and Pd catalysts. The enhanced catalytic properties of AuPdNPore arise mainly from the nanoporous structure and the synergistic effect of the AuPd alloy.

Most executives have a big, hairy, audacious goal. They write vision statements, formalize procedures, and develop complicated incentive programs--all in pursuit of that goal. In other words, with the best of intentions, they install layers of stultifying bureaucracy. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this article, Jim Collins introduces the catalytic mechanism, a simple yet powerful manag...
