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...

A green methodology for the development of the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones via a clean multi-component Biginelli reaction by using cyclohexane-1,4-diyl bis (hydrogen sulfate) (CDBH) as an effective catalyst in water and solvent-free conditions was reported. This sulfonated catalyst is an efficient and environmentally benign homogeneous catalysts which characterized by using different tech...

A sulfate-reducing vibrio was isolated from a methanogenic enrichment with choline as the sole added organic substrate. This organism was identified as a member of the genus Desulfovibrio and was designated Desulfovibrio strain G1. In a defined medium devoid of sulfate, a pure culture of Desulfovibrio strain G1 fermented choline to trimethylamine, acetate, and ethanol. In the presence of sulfat...

A class of squaramide-based tripodal molecules was employed as new ionophores for highly sensitive and selective sulfate-selective sensors. Compared with the reported tripodal ionophore with urea, squaramide groups as superior hydrogen bonding donor were introduced into the tripodal structure to obtain new ionophores leading to better electrode performance. Three derivatives with unsubstituted ...

Hydrogen ions in precipitation are correlated much more closely with sulfate than with nitrate, whereas ammonium ions are correlated more closely with nitrate than with sulfate. Target loadings of 14 to 16 kilograms of wet sulfate deposition per hectare per year, instead of 20 as suggested hitherto, are probably necessary to produce average pH values of 4.6 to 4.7, the approximate boundary leve...

Figure 1. Stability fields of sulfate and bisulfide at a total pressure of 100 bar. The thin solid curves represent equal activities of SO4 and HS at various pH. The QFM curve represents equilibrium (2) and HM stands for hematitemagnetite buffer. Sulfate is stable at higher temperature and lower ƒH2. Low-temperature formation of sulfate in asteroidal environments requires complete oxidation of ...
