The design of active and stable semiconducting composites with enhanced photoresponse from visible light to near infrared (NIR) is a key to improve solar energy harvesting for photolysis of water in photoelectrochemical cell. In this study, we prepared earth abundant semiconducting composites consisting of iron pyrite and Titanium oxide as a photoanode (FeS2/TiO2 photoanode) for photoelectroche...

This work focused on the characterization physical and microstructural of the self-reducing pellet made of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) dust using different low cost techniques. The serial sectioning technique was used to evaluate detailed measurements of pore connections, tortuositiy of pores and porosity distribution. The chemical analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectr...

The New Zealand sea sand ore is a kind of vanadia–titania magnetite formed by erosion in the coastal zone. Because its coarse particle size, smooth spherical particles, complex chemical composition, it has been added to sinter as an auxiliary material. Based on principle optimizing blending strengthen advantages and weaken disadvantages, this paper used raw that not undergone any pretreatment m...

Although metallodrugs are used to treat a variety of human disorders and exhibit remarkable diversity therapeutic properties, they constitute only tiny minority all medicinal drugs that currently on the market. This undesirable situation must be partially attributed our general lack understanding fate in extremely ligand-rich environment bloodstream. The challenge gaining insight into these bio...

The importance of arsenic detection techniques has received significant attention of researchers during recent years due to its carcinogenic effects on human health through drinking water even at low concentration. There are various arsenic detection techniques used in laboratory that have detection limit below 1μg/L viz., Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (HGAAS), Graphite Furn...

Background Complexing agents are widely used in various industrial processes and household products throughout the world. Amongst the well-known complexing agents, not only EDTA but also DTPA and NTA are widely used. Possible legislative restrictions of the use of biologically recalcitrant complexing agents brings about studies of novel and alternative products and at the same time more sophist...

In this study, we investigated the synthesis of nano-size iron particle using a borohydride reduction of ferric ion in the presence of solvent containing carbonyl groups. When we varied the contents of solvent, there is a corresponding variation of synthesis and iron form. Each sample of synthesized iron particles was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and powder X-ray diff...

Nonenzymic browning and corrosion were monitored in commercially canned single-strength grapefruit juice stored for 15 weeks at 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, and 50°C. Browning did not occur in juices stored at 10° and 20°C, but began to ap pear after 9 weeks in juices stored at 30°C. Browning was quite evident within 3 weeks for juices stored at 40° and 50°C. Plots of nonenzymic browning versus corrosio...
