the photocatalytic degradation of a common analgesic (acetaminophen) with titanium dioxide irradiated with low energy ultraviolet light (365 nm) was studied in order to determine the effect of several parameters such as catalyst’s weight, photochemical effect, and initial concentration. the results indicate that acetaminophen is degraded in the order of 4% by the photochemical effect. the pres...

Sirtuins are key regulators of many cellular functions including cell growth, apoptosis, metabolism, and genetic control of age-related diseases. Sirtuins are themselves regulated by their cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as well as their reaction product nicotinamide (NAM), the physiological concentrations of which vary during the process of aging. Nicotinamide inhibits sirtui...

Kinetic features of the propane conversion into aromatic hydrocarbons over a gallium-containing zeolite catalyst have been investigated. On basis experimentally obtained kinetic dependences and available literature data, model aromatization is proposed, which makes it possible to form various variations chemical reaction behavior calculate most probable routes

A kinetic model is proposed for catalysis by an enzyme that has several special characteristics: (i) it catalyses an acyl-transfer bi-substrate reaction between two identical molecules of substrate, (ii) the substrate is an amphiphilic molecule that can be present in two physical forms, namely monomers and micelles, and (iii) the reaction progresses through an acyl-enzyme-based mechanism and th...

industrial wastewater included the dyes one of the important sources of environmental pollution that founded in loom wastewater which are harmful for human health and environment. therefore, the purpose of this research was investigated removal of rb5 dye from aqueous solution by using of adsorption onto activated red mud as an cheap adsorbent. this research was experimental- laboratorial study...

In this research work, the dissolution of chalcopyrite was investigated under atmospheric pressure, with sulfate media at low temperatures, in 30°C to 50°C. In the galvanic interaction between chalcopyrite and pyrite, pyrite is used as a leaching catalyst. Effects of different parameters such as temperature, stirring speed, pyrite to chalcopyrite ratio, particle size, and solution potential wer...

In this work an optimization-based approach to kinetic model reduction was studied with a view to generating reduced-model libaries for reacting-flow simulations. A linear integer formulation of the reaction elimination problem was developed in order to allow the model reduction problem to be solved cheaply and robustly to guaranteed global optimality. When compared with three other conventiona...

Rice straw is a renewable, cheap, and abundant waste in tropical countries. The pentose content of rice straw can be used as a substrate for many types of value-added products such as xylitol and biofuel. Dilute acid hydrolysis mainly releases pentose from rice straw. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of H2SO4 concentration and reaction time on the xylose production. The va...

The main aim of this study was determination of thermo- radio- and photostability ofperindopril tert-butyloamine (PER) therefore the efficiency and safety of the therapy could bemaintained.A chromatographic method (RP-HPLC) had been validated before use to determinePER loss. The evaluation of stability properties of PER in solid state under the influence ofisothermal condition, relative humidit...
