In this study, the effectiveness of photocatalytic oxidation (PO) and wet oxidation (WO) processes as a pre-treatment step on improvement of biodegradability and colour removal of mixture of raw domestic and pre-treated industrial wastewaters, have been evaluated. More oxygen was obtained by H2O2 (as an oxidant in WO and PO processes) than stoichiometric demand. PO of the wastewater was carried...

A highly fluorescent anthraniloyl (Ant) group was covalently attached to the active site of alpha-chymotrypsin (CT), probably at Ser195. Ant-CT is stable at neutral pH for months, allowing a detailed fluorescence study of Ant-CT as a model protein to investigate its physical properties in 0.1 M Tris/HCl, pH 8.2, and in reversed micelles of n-octane, 0.1 M Tris/HCl, pH 8.2, and sodium bis(2-ethy...

Microemulsions are the advanced form of conventionally used emulsions, which is a biphasic dosage consisting two immiscible liquids that brought together with application surfactants and cosurfactants. The micron sized globules microemulsions helps in achieving targeted action improved availability stability. studies related to concluded its potential delivering various hydrophilic lipophilic d...

The present study aims to validate an analytical method by UV spectrophotometric for the quantification of gemfibrozil incorporated into microemulsions. Experimental development constructing a ternary phase diagram identification characterization microemulsions was carried out polarized light microscopy technique. validated according parameters described United State Pharmacopeia (USP) 39 NF34 ...

Zirconia-supported tungsten oxide (WO(x)/ZrO(2)) is considered an important supported metal oxide model acid catalyst, for which structure-property relationships have been studied for numerous acid-catalyzed reactions. The catalytic activity for xylene isomerization, alcohol dehydration, and aromatic acylation follows a volcano-shape dependence on tungsten surface density. However, WO(x)/ZrO(2)...

The experiments aimed to develop the inactivated Newcastle disease (ND) vaccine in the form of water in oil (WO) and water in oil in water (WOW) using palm oil, which is easily found in tropical countries, and to study the effect of vitamin E in the form of dl-α-tocopheryl acetate for improving the efficacy of inactivated ND vaccine prepared from palm oil. Two hundred and twenty, thirty five da...

The purpose of this study was to optimize the parameters involved in the production of water-soluble phytosterol microemulsions for use in the food industry. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to model and optimize four of the processing parameters, namely, the number of cycles of high-pressure homogenization (1-9 cycles), the pressure used for high-pressure homogeni...

CdS nanocrystals were prepared in water-in-oil microemulsions. The nanocrystal properties, absorption and luminescence spectra and size distributions, were monitored at different times after mixing the microemulsions of the two precursors to obtain information on their growth mechanism. In particular, CdS nanocrystals were prepared using water-in-heptane or water-in-nonane microemulsions. The r...

The strategy using nonionic microemulsion as a solubilizer for hydrophobic drugs was studied and is demonstrated in this work. The aqueous phase behaviors of mixed nonionic surfactants with various oils at 37 °C are firstly constructed to give the optimal formulations of nonionic microemulsions with applications in the enhanced solubilization of the model hydrophobic drug, paclitaxel, at 37 °C....
