in the present paper, the use of a novel carbon paste electrode modified by 7,8-dihydroxy-3,3,6-trimethyl-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2h)-one (dtd) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ocnts) is described for determination of levodopa (ld), acetaminophen (ac) and tryptophan (trp) by a simple and rapid method. at first, the electrochemical behavior of dtd is studied, then, the mediated...

a modified electrode was prepared by modification of the carbon paste electrode (cpe) with graphene nano-sheets. the fabricated modified electrode exhibited an electrocatalytic activity toward gallic acid (ga) oxidation because of good conductivity, low electron transfer resistance and catalytic effect. the graphene modified cpe had a lower overvoltage and enhanced electrical current respect to...

a chemically modified carbon paste electrode with 2-chlorobenzoyl ferrocene (2cbf) and carbon nanotube (2cbfcnpe) was employed to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. the diffusion coefficient (d = 1.42 × 10-6 cm2 s-1), and the kinetic parameter such as the catalytic rate constant (k = ...

in this work, spherical pt nanometer-scale particles supported on the poly (m-toluidine)/triton x-100 film modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (pt/pmt (tx-100)/mcntpe) was used as a potent catalyst for electrooxidation of formaldehyde (hcho) in both 0.5 m h2so4 and 0.1 m naoh solutions. the obtained results showed that utilization of tx-100 as an additive during the electropolymerization p...

the effect of salinity on organic removal and ammonium oxidation in a down-flow hanging sponge reactor was investigated by conducting a long-term continuous experiment over a period of 800 days. the dhs reactor, constructed by connecting three identical units, was fed with artificial wastewater containing 500 mg-n/l of ammonium nitrogen and 1400 mg- cod/l of phenol. salinity of the influent was...

the electrochemical oxidation of sulfamethazine (smz) has been studied at a multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (mwcnt-gce) by cyclic voltammetry. this modified electrode (mwcnt-gce) exhibited excellent electrocatalytic behavior toward the oxidation of smz as evidenced by the enhancement of the oxidation peak current and the shift in the anodic potential to less posit...

Meysam Yarie was born in 1987 in Malayer/ Hamedan, Iran. He received his B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry (2010) from Malek-Ashtar University of Technology and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (2012) from Kurdistan University under the supervision of Dr. Kamal Amani. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Mohammad Ali Zolfigol. His research interest is the synthesis, c...

There is relatively little information on the role of high density lipoprotein (HDL) oxidation in atherogenesis although there are indications that oxidation might affect atheroprotective activities of HDL. Recently we reported the study on LDL oxidation initiated and sustained by traces of the transition metal ions under conditions, which favor slow oxidation. Here we report the results of the...

Total, mitochondrial and peroxisomal palmitate oxidation capacities were compared in pea, from the dry seed to 14 days after imbibition. Total beta-oxidation varied over the measured time period and showed four peaks of activity at day 2, days 5-6, day 10 and days 12-13. The contribution of peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation to this overall beta-oxidation varied. Over the first 48 h o...
