Nitrobenzene is highly toxic liquid aromatic compound which is readily absorbed through the skin. Although nitrobenzene is not currently known to be a carcinogen, prolonged exposure may cause serious damage to the central nervous system, impair vision, cause liver or kidney damage, anaemia and lung irritation. Natural attenuation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation of nitrobenzene contaminated ...

in this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated.  the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. results showed that ...

The coimmobilization of nitrobenzene nitroreductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in silica particles enables the continuous conversion of nitrobenzene to hydroxylaminobenzene with NADPH recycling.

The adsorption of nitrobenzene on active carbon was researched. The experimental results shown the adsorption of nitrobenzene on active carbon can be described by Freundlich's adsorption model. On the other hand, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) can react with nitrobenzene to form inclusion complex, which will enhance the aqueous solubility of nitrobe...

The effects of nitrobenzene and of benzene resemble those of guaiacol and of hexylresorcinol. The P.D. changes in a positive direction and then in a negative direction. The latter change may bring the P.D. back to the starting point with guaiacol and hexylresorcinol but with nitrobenzene and benzene this is not always the case. The positive potential change produced by nitrobenzene and benzene ...

Photodissociation of nitrobenzene at 193, 248, and 266 nm and o-nitrotoluene at 193 and 248 nm was investigated separately using multimass ion imaging techniques. Fragments corresponding to NO and NO(2) elimination from both nitrobenzene and o-nitrotoluene were observed. The translational energy distributions for the NO elimination channel show bimodal distributions, indicating two dissociation...

Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes JS45 grows on nitrobenzene as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. The catabolic pathway involves reduction to hydroxylaminobenzene followed by rearrangement to o-amino-phenol and ring fission (S. F. Nishino and J. C. Spain, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 59:2520, 1993). A nitrobenzene-inducible, oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase was purified from extracts of ...

Flower-N is a flowering stimulant composition with 22% nitrobenzene. The main systemic effect associated with human exposure to nitrobenzene is methaemoglobinaemia. A 25-year-old female presented after 3 hours following ingestion of 100 ml of 22% Nitrobenzene (Flower-N). Her initial methaemoglobin (MetHb) was 81%; this responded to methylene blue. However, she developed recurrent methaemoglobin...

We report a molecular dynamics study of chlorinated cobalt bis(dicarbollide) anions [(B(9)C(2)H(8)Cl(3))(2)Co](-)"CCD(-)" in nitrobenzene and at the nitrobenzene-water interface, with the main aim to understand the solution state of these hydrophobic species and why they act as strong synergists in assisted liquid-liquid extraction of metallic cations. Neat nitrobenzene is found to well solubil...

Reduction of nitrobenzene, 4-ethyl nitrobenzene, 4-isopropyl nitrobenzene, 4-nitro 1-phenyl acetate, acetophenone, with CuCl2/MeOH/NaBH4 provided hydrogenated products in quantitative yields. In order to evaluate the best catalytic systems various transition metal catalysts were examined for the first time and CuCl2 catalysts was superactive system. And a solvent system was also studied with me...
