The aim of this investigation was to study the relationship between activation factors and adsorption of cationic dye, methylene blue MB, by activated bentonite. The adsorption index was investigated as a function of acid type, time and temperature. A commercial bentonite was selected as a starting material and the effect of heat treatment on MB adsorption were determined in a batch setup. Thou...

An acid-stable 2D covalent organic framework (COF TpPa-1) was synthesized by a reversible Schiff-base reaction and the following irreversible enol-keto tautomerism. The adsorption behaviors of COF TpPa-1 towards Pd(II) in simulated high-level liquid waste (HLLW) were investigated under effect contact time, concentration nitric acid etc. obtained experimental results supported that utilization t...

Experimental Section Solvents and reagents were purchased from Merck and used as received. 1,6,7,12Tetrachloroperylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisanhydride was obtained from BASF. N,N'-Didodecylperylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide 2 was synthesized according to the literature. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DRX 400 spectrometer using the proton signal of TMS as internal ...

TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized from titanium isopropoxide by a simple peptization method using sulfuric, nitric, and acetic acids. The effect of peptizing acid on physicochemical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 powders was studied. The structural properties of synthesized TiO2 powders were analyzed by using XRD, TEM, N2-physisorption, Raman, DR UV-vis, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron s...

Introduction: The relation between morphine and nitric oxide release has been shown. Due to important role of nitric oxide in regulation of skin blood flow, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (L-NAME) and nitric oxide synthesis precursor (L-arginine) on skin blood flow of intact and morphine-dependent rats. Methods: Skin blood flow of hind pa...
