This study investigates the use of activated carbon for the odorant removal from natural gas to be used for synthesis gas production for fuel cells. The odorants used in this study were dimethyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene, methyl mercaptan, and t-butyl mercaptan. It was concluded that only physical adsorption is contributing towards removal of sulfur species at lower temperatures, whereas the...

S-Methylcysteine has been isolated from the nonprotein nitrogen fractions of cabbage, turnips, and several other crucifers, and the structure of the amino acid was established by chemical studies and by comparison with a synthetic material (14). Subsequently, this compound has been found in garlic and onion (5)) kidney bean seeds (6)) Neurospora crassa (7)) and the hemolymph of Prod&a ericlenia...

transfusion-dependent patients such as those suffering from β-thalassaemia develop a fatal secondary haemosiderosis and consequently a selective iron chelator must be used to relieve such iron overload. 3- hydroxypyridin-4-ones are selective for iron(iii) under most biological conditions, but unlike desferrioxamine, are efficiently absorbed when administered orally. in this study, the synthesis...

Abstract Reckless discharge of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage as well frequent leakage crude oil have caused serious environmental problems posed severe threat to human survival. Various nature inspired superhy-drophobic surfaces been successfully applied in oily water remediation. However, further improvements are still urgently needed for practical application terms facile synthesi...
