nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  this nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. the prepared sulfated titania s...

BACKGROUND Removal of organic micropollutants from wastewater by post-ozonation has been investigated in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) temporarily upgraded with full-scale ozonation, followed by sand filtration, as an additional treatment step of the secondary effluent. Here, the SPEAR (species at risk) indicator was used to analyse macroinvertebrate abundance data that were col...

Combined sewer overflows (CSO), generated during the wet weather flow from combination of inflow and stormwater runoff in system, result an overflow untreated wastewater which might ultimately contain different micropollutants (MPs). In this study, a coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (CFS) pretreated CSO spiked with MPs was treated by catalytic ozonation using carbon, iron, peroxide-based ...

The dynamic behavior of ozonation with pollutants in a countercurrent bubble column is studied for the model establishment. Bubble columns have been widely used for an ozonation system in the plants and laboratories. In addition, a countercurrent bubble column has been commonly recommended than a cocurrent one because it has a higher ozone transfer efficiency. Therefore, the investigation of th...

In this work the effect of ozonation on olive oil, soybean oil, oleic-, linoleic- and linolenic acid was studied. The effects of ozonation time on the oils and acids were analyzed by 1H, 13C NMR. Further, the peroxide- and acid values, the viscosity and the molar mass were determined for pure and ozonated oils. The fatty chains in both ozonated oils showed a gradual decrease of unsaturation wit...
