this study is focused on synthesis of nano-colloidal silica via alkaline water glass solution. sodium ions of water glass were removed by cation exchanging in a resin column to obtain the silicic acid which was titrated to the solution of sodium silicate. concentration of the colloidal silica and ph value of the solutions were controlled using different concentrations of alkaline sodium silicat...

The purpose of this study is to improve the thermo-stabilty of alkaline protease produced by Bacillus sp. using rice bran during solid state fermentation. After partial purification of alkaline protease, various parameters namely effect of temperature and metal ions on enzyme activity was investigated. The suitable temperature for alkaline protease activity was observed at 50°C. Among various m...

This paper reports the performance of nickel oxide based electrode in alkaline anion exchange membrane water electrolysis. The membrane used is polystyrene based alkaline membrane and the electrode used is Nickel as cathode and Nickel oxide as anode. The electrochemical activity of the Nickel oxide is high compared to uncoated electrode. The AWE membrane electrode gave high current density at 3...

Alkaline crude enzymes from the viscera of the Tunisian barbel (Barbus callensis) were extracted and characterized. Proteolytic crude extract from barbel viscera was active and stable in alkaline solution. The optimum pH and temperature were 11.0 and 55 °C, respectively, using casein as a substrate. The crude alkaline protease was extremely stable in the pH range of 5.0-12.0. Zymography activit...

Acidic electrolyzed water (EW) (pH 2.6-5.8) and alkaline EW (pH 11.2-12.1) were examined as potential disinfectants against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Using acidic EW with pH 2.6 and alkaline EW with pH >11.7, the viral titer decreased in vitro by > 4.0 log values, 2 min after the virus was mixed with EW at a 1:10 dilution. The strong virucidal effect of acidic EW (pH 2.6), but not th...

The reaction of NO2 and NaOH aqueous solution at room temperature was studied for elucidating the behavior of gaseous NO2 in an alkaline solution. Experimental runs related to NO2 absorption have been carried out in various pH solutions. The nitrite and nitrate ions formed in these absorption solutions were quantitatively analyzed. In the case of pH 5-12, both of the nitrite and nitrate ions we...

Electrooxidation of urea plays a substantial role in the elimination urea-containing wastewater and industrial urea. Here, we report electrodeposition nickel hydroxide catalyst on commercial carbon paper (CP) electrodes from dimethyl sulphoxide solvent (Ni(OH)2-DMSO/CP) for electrooxidation under alkaline conditions. The physicochemical features Ni(OH)2-DMSO/CP catalysts using scanning electron...

The appearance of kits for the determination of micro amounts of calcium stimulated our interest in the use of Eriochrome Blue SE for this analysis. A study of spectrophotometric curves indicates that, at pH values above 13.7, calcium will complex and cause a change of dye absorbance while magnesium does not complex with the dye. A differential spectrophotometric technic is described in this pa...
