Fe (III)-catalyzed ozonation yielded better degradation rate and extent of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) or oxalic acid as compared with oxidation by ozone alone. Two parameters with strong effects on the efficiency of ozonation are pH of the solution and the catalyst (Fe(3+)) dosage. The existence of a critical pH value determining the catalysis of Fe (III) in acid conditions was observed in ph...

Colemanite is one of the most important underground riches of Turkey, having approximately 60% of the world boron deposits, and it has a large portion in the deposits. In this study, chemical leaching and biological leaching methods were used for production of boric acid from colemanite (2CaO · 3B3O3 · 5H2O) (Emet-Kütahya, Turkey). Oxalic acid concentration, temperature, stirring time and solid...

The conical nanostructure improves the applications of alumina membranes and provides three dimensional nanometer scale systems to study the chemical and physical properties. In this study, the nano cone structure is produced in porous anodic alumina (PAA) by two-step anodizing. This conical nanostructure will improve the application of PAA membranes. This approach is novel generation of t...

13C chemical shielding tensors in three oxalates were investigated in order to determine the effe~ts of protonation and conformation changes on the tensor elements and their orientations. The expenmental results. together with those in the accompanying paper [R. G. Griffin and D. J. Ruben, J. Chern. ~hys. 63, 1272 (1975)], indicate that, while neither of these factors seems to seriously effect ...

1. Chemical stimulation as a function of temperature was studied by using oxalic acid in fresh and salt water and malonic acid in salt water as stimulating agents on Fundulus. According to the Arrhenius equation the following micro values were obtained for the various acid solutions between 0 and 29 degrees C.: for 0.002N oxalic in fresh water-15,800; 33,000; for 0.0008N oxalic in fresh water-1...

A method for isolating organic acids from acidified urine on an equivolume mixture of Porapak Q and Porapak T is described, and results are compared with extraction with ethyl acetate and ion exchange on DEAE-Sephadex. Average recoveries of 14C-labeled oxalic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, alpha-ketoglutaric acid, citric acid, and cinnamic acid were equal to or better than those obtained wit...
