The current environmental and industrial contexts require constant revision improvement of hydrotreating processes for obtaining cleaner (bio)fuels through the development supported transition metal sulfide (TMS) catalysts. present work proposes a surface-science approach to describe surface-dependent genesis cobalt-promoted active phase (CoMoS) on α-Al2O3 single crystals used as surrogates γ-A...

treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. the various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

An extensive study of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts with different amounts of cobalt is reported. Up to 40 wt % of cobalt, is added to the catalysts by impregnation method. The effect of the cobalt loading on the reducibility of the cobalt oxide species, dispersion of the cobalt, average clusters size, water-gas shift (WGS) activity and activity and s...

The study aims at synthesizing silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of Cymbopogon citratus along with the evaluation of its antioxidant, free radicals scavenging, and reducing power properties. Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized X-Ray diffractometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Energy Dispersi...

In this research iron manganese oxide nanocomposites were prepared by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods by using iron (III) nitrate, iron (II) sulfate and manganese (II) nitrate as starting materials. These nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of various catalyst beds. The polyvinyl pyrrolidon (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nano...

background and objectives: auto-induction is usually employed to achieve high cell density and overproduction of proteins with a simple and low-cost operation. the efficiency of heterologous protein expression in escherichia coli is determined by different parameters. interactions between these parameters usually complicate the identification of those that contribute more to the improvement of ...

Endophytic actinomycetes were isolated from surface sterilized leaves of Catharanthes roseus (L.) G. Don offamily Apocynaceae. A total of 38 endophytic actinomycetes were recovered on Starch Casein Agar.Among the 38 isolates 20 morphologically different isolates were screened for antibacterial activity againstBacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pr...

fractions obtained from partitioning of aerial methanolic extract of euphorbia aellenii with chloroform (e2), ethyl acetate (e3), n-butanol (e4) and water (e5) were investigated in vitro for their phytotoxicity, insecticidal, anti-leishmanial, cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal activities. sample e2 appeared to have significant phytotoxic activity. in the insecticidal screening study on...
