12-molybdophosphoric acid (pmo12) was encaged into hmor zeolite by “ship in a bottle”method in aqueous phase which is strongly retained and not easily leached from the host channels.the solid was characterized by xrd prior to using it for the electrode preparation. this compoundwas incorporated with a carbon paste electrode for cyclic voltammetric measurements. pmo12immobilized on the support u...

In this work the development of an inhibitive assay for copper using the molybdenum-reducing enzyme assay is presented. The enzyme is assayed using 12-molybdophosphoric acid at pH 5.0 as an electron acceptor substrate and NADH as the electron donor substrate. The enzyme converts the yellowish solution into a deep blue solution. The assay is based on the ability of copper to inhibit the molybden...

Molybdenum-based Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) containing vanadium, with the formula H3+xPMo12 xVxO40 (MPAV) and x varying from0 to 3, exhibit unique catalytic properties because of their bifunctional nature and have been investigated as catalysts both for acidic and for oxidative reactions. 3 The addition of vanadium centers are beneficial for redox catalysis, shifting the molybdophosphoric a...

Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive resource for producing transportation fuels, and consequently novel approaches are being sought for transforming the lignin and cellulosic constituents of biomass to fuels or fuel additives. Glucose, the monomer of cellulose, is a good starting material for exploring such chemistries. We report here the results of an investigation aimed at identifying ca...

The use of a novel inexpensive photometric device, a paired emitter-detector diode (PEDD) has been applied to the colorimetric determination of phosphate using the malachite green spectrophotometric method. The novel miniaturized flow detector applied within this manifold is a highly sensitive, low cost, miniaturized light emitting diode (LED) based detector. The optical flow cell was construct...
