Nitrate from the application of nitrogen-based fertilizers in intensive agriculture is a notorious waste product, though it lacks cost-effective solutions for its removal potential drinking water resources. Catalytic reduction appears to be promising technique converting nitrates benign nitrogen gas. Mesoporous silica SBA-15 frequently used catalyst support that has large surface areas and high...

A survey study aimed at identifying rates and predictive factors on utilization of skilled birth attendant (SBA) among pregnant women. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 200 Myanmar women aged 18 to 49 years in Kalay Township. Data were collected by interview questionnaire from March 1 to 15, 2012, and data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviati...

Catalyst is the key for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derivatives to produce alkyl aromatics and cycloalkanes, components 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Mono bi-functional catalysts nickel (Ni) heterophosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on SBA-15 carbons were prepared, characterized evaluated HDO derived trans-anethole. The structure was intact but its surface area pore volume decr...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles with unique structure (SBA-15) were synthesized and modified by [3-(2-Aminoethylamino) propyl] trimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by TGA, N‌2‌ adsorption, SEM, FTIR, CHN elemental analysis. The total weight loss for the modified SBA-15 is 15.2% and thermal analysis reveal...

Mesoporous photocatalysts of CeO2/SBA-15 are prepared by two methods of direct synthesis as solvent-usage and solvent-free methods. In solvent-usage method, CeO2/SBA-15 is synthesized in acidic media. While, in solvent-free method, CeO2/SBA-15, has been prepared through the novel path of directly grind cerium salt into the as-prepared samples of SBA-15 occluded ...

Sorbitol is one of the platform chemicals and can be produced from various renewable sustainable sources via different processes. Hydrothermal liquefaction an effective promising approach to produce sorbitol, since subcritical reaction media appropriate catalysts provide a selective production chemicals. In this study, sorbitol was (cellulose glucose) in presence Ru-based (Ru/SiO2, Ru/AC, Ru/SB...
