Abstract In this manuscript, efficiency of the used organic solvent for recovering, separating and producing highly purified zirconium oxide from chloride leach liquor Rosetta white zircon concentrate was investigated. Zircon mineral thermally decomposed with caustic soda, cooled, washed distilled water then dissolved in hydrochloric acid. Zirconium extraction reached 91.4% using 10% bis-(2-eth...

New solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) doped with lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) plasticizer, and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles were prepared by solution-casting technique. The conductivity was enhanced by addition of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) plasticizer and ZrO2 nanofiller with maximum conductivity (1.38 × 10(-4) Sc...

The results of our studies on the extraction and disposition of three plasticizing substances which are extracted from poly(vinyl chloride) medical devices will be reported. The plasticizers are di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), di-2-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA), and butylglycolyl butyl phthalate (BGBP). DEHP extraction will be described in greater detail, and the two other plasticizers, DEHA and ...

as part of our ongoing interest in exploring the synthesis of antibacterial agent, we report an efficient, mild, one pot and chemoselective procedure for preparation of 3-poly (vinylbenzyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione as a antimicrobial agent from poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) and 5,5-dimethylhydantoin in the presence of a base in dmf as a solven. the ft-ir technique and melting point conf...

Tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) nanoparticles were synthesized from thezirconium chloride using the co-precipitation technique and characterized by variousmeasurement techniques. FESEM analysis further revealed spherical shaped NPs andHR-TEM analysis determined the size of the particles in the range of 14.5 nm. The bandgap energy was estimated 4.0 eV. The UV (350 nm) emissi...

Three organotin(IV) complexes containing ciprofloxacin as a ligand (Ph₃SnL, Me₂SnL₂ and Bu₂SnL₂; 0.5% by weight) were used as additives to inhibit the photodegradation of polyvinyl chloride films (40 µm thickness) upon irradiation with ultraviolet light (λmax = 313 at a light intensity = 7.75 × 10-7 ein dm-3 S-1) at room temperature. The efficiency of organotin(IV) complexes as photostabilizers...
