• Fe(II) promoted the photo-oxidation of released As(III) in ASS. The mechanism Fe(II)-stimulated was pH-dependent. At pH 3.0, both OH and SO 4 − made a contribution to As oxidation. Reductive sulfur species from ASS played critical role Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle. Arsenic sulfide sludge (ASS) is typical precipitation product acid smelting wastewater. Previous study reported that when exposed sunligh...

selective transformation of 2-propargylthio-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4(1h)on e (2) to 3,5-dimethyl-7h-thiazolo [3,2-a] pyrimidin-7-one (3) is performed under the conditionof base catalysis . for elucidation of structure, palladium catalyzed cyclization reaction of (2) was carried out and the structures of the products were assigned (5) and (6). these compounds underwent isomerization to (3) and (4) r...

Mahmoud Zarei was born in Hamedan, Iran in1986. He received his B.Sc. in Pure Chemistry (2010) from Islamic Azad University Arak and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (2013) at Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Mohammad Ali Zolfigol. His research interest is catalysis, including the application of homogeneous and heterogeneous ca...

Biomass is recognized as an ideal CO2 neutral, abundant, and renewable resource substitute to fossil fuels. The rich proton content in most biomass derived materials, such ethanol, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) glycerol allows it be effective hydrogen carrier. oxidation derivatives, 2,5-difurandicarboxylic acid from HMF, glyceric are valuable products used biodegradable polymers pharmaceuticals...

Group VIII B metal oxides supported on gamma-alumina were investigated as catalysts and promoters of MoO3 hydrodesulfurization catalysis. Superior promotion was observed in PbO promoted catalyst compared to that of CoO, the typically accepted promoter. Other metal oxides, SnO and Ho2O3 exhibited reasonable hydrodesulfurization catalysis promotion but lower than for CoO promoted catalyst.

Factor XIII catalysis proceeds via formation of thioester acyl enzyme intermediate involving an active site cysteine residue at position 314. The contribution of other residues to catalysis has not been established. Earlier studies of the pH dependence of factor XIII activity suggested the existence of a putative active site histidine. We used chemical modification and oligonucleotide directed ...

GilR is a recently identified oxidoreductase that catalyzes the terminal step of gilvocarcin V biosynthesis and is a unique enzyme that establishes the lactone core of the polyketide-derived gilvocarcin chromophore. Gilvocarcin-type compounds form a small distinct family of anticancer agents that are involved in both photo-activated DNA-alkylation and histone H3 cross-linking. High resolution c...
