The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. It can react nonspecifically in breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. It can also recombine to form hydrogen peroxide which is very useful in water treatment. In this study, terephthalic acid (TA) and potassium iodide dosimetry were used to quantify and inve...

The fluorescent derivatization of aromatic carboxylic acids by the catalytic activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of excess H2O2 was investigated. Four monocarboxylic acids, nine dicarboxylic acids, and two tricarboxylic acids, all of which are non- or weakly fluorescent, were effectively converted into fluorescent compounds using this new method. This technique was further ...

The asymmetric unit of the title structure, C(8)H(7)NO(4)·2C(3)H(7)NO, contains one 2-amino-terephthalic acid and two N,N-dimethyl-formamide mol-ecules. Strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the acidic carb-oxy H atoms of 2-am-ino-terephthalic acid and the O atoms of both solvent mol-ecules form linear 1:2 complex units. One H atom of the amine group is involved in intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen ...

introduction when a liquid is irradiated with high-intensity and low-frequency ultrasound, acoustic cavitation occurs and there are some methods to determine and quantify this phenomenon. the existing methods for performing these experiments include sonochemiluminescence (scl) and chemical dosimetric methods. the particles in a liquid decrease the ultrasonic intensity threshold needed for cavit...

Chemical recycling of Polyethylene terephthalate, PET, wastage has been investigated in this study. The aim of this work is recovery of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycols from PET waste. This process has been done in two stages. At the first stage, reaction between PET waste and sodium hydroxide for production of ethylene glycol and sodium terephthalate solution carried out in a stainless s...

Hydroxyl radical (OH •) is a reactive oxygen species produced during severe hypoxia, asphyxia or ischemia that can cause cell death resulting in brain damage. Generation of OH • may occur in the fetal brain during asphyxia in utero. The very short half-life of OH • requires use of trapping agents such as salicylic acid or phenylalanine for detection, but their hydroxylated derivatives are eithe...

Two isostructural NiII compounds, bis-{N-[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)eth-ylidene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazonato-κ2N',O}nickel(II)-2,5-di-chloro-terephthalic acid (1/1), [Ni(C13H11N4O)2](C8H4Cl2O4), and bis-{N-[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)eth-ylidene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazonato-κ2N',O}nickel(II)-2,5-di-bromo-terephthalic acid (1/1), [Ni(C13H11N4O)2](C8H4Br2O4), were synthesized and their crystal structures determin...
