in the present study, photocatalytic removal of p-nitrophenol has been carried out in the presence of zno by using a batch reactor with a uv-c lamp (15 w). the effects of applied zno concentration and uv light intensity have been studied. the increase of initial pollutant concentration decreases the removal rate, and the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant in the uv/zno pr...

Water purification is of extreme importance worldwide. p-Nitrophenol was used as a test chemical to design and test an organoclay for the removal of p-nitrophenol from an aqueous solution. Synthesis of the organoclay with methyltrioctadecylammonium bromide [CH(3)(CH(2))(17)](3)NBr(CH(3)) labeled as MTOAB results in multiple expansions of the montmorillonite clay from 1.24 nm to a maximum of 5.2...

An amperometric microbial biosensor for highly specific, sensitive and rapid quantitative determination of p-nitrophenol was developed. The biosensor takes advantage of the ability of Moraxella sp. to specifically degrade p-nitrophenol to hydroquinone, a more electroactive compound than p-nitrophenol. The electrochemical oxidation current of hydroquinone formed in biodegradation of p-nitropheno...

Female Fischer 344 rats administered p-nitrophenol (0.05 mmol/kg) excrete more p-nitrophenylglucuronide in the urine than males (35.9 +/- 2.9 vs. 14.1 +/- 4.0% of total urinary metabolites, respectively). In contrast, hepatic microsomes prepared from male rats have higher UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity toward p-nitrophenol than hepatic microsomes from females (6.49 +/- 0.67 vs. 3.20 +/- 0.1...

The relationship between the intraluminal Ca2+ content of endoplasmic reticulum and the rate of the glucuronidation of p-nitrophenol was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Different agents which decrease the Ca2+ level in the endoplasmic reticulum [calcium ionophores (A23187, ionomycin) or Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors(thapsigargin,2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone+ ++)] inhibited the co...

4 Nitrophenol (NP) or para nitrophenol (PNP) is one of the emerging pollutants from pesticides industries and it a major discharge any phenol consuming industry also severs as pharmaceutical wastewater. Design development photocatalytic treatment p-nitrophenol particularly to suit recovery reuse catalyst will aid in its commercial scale development. P-nitrophenol degradation has been studied ce...

1. Glucuronide formation of bilirubin and p-nitrophenol in vitro with excess of UDP-glucuronic acid by UDP-glucuronyltransferase from livers of young and adult rabbits was studied. 2. The development of UDP-glucuronyltransferase for the two substrates followed a markedly different pattern during maturation of young rabbits, p-nitrophenol-conjugation ability being much higher at birth than that ...

The mammalian glucoside-conjugation pathway was studied by using p-nitrophenol as the model substrate and mouse liver microsomal preparations as the source of enzyme. The microsomal preparations supplemented with UDP-glucose glucosylated p-nitrophenol; p-nitrophenyl glucoside was identified by chromatography in six solvent systems. The unsolubilized glucosyltransferase of fresh microsomal prepa...

Abstract 4-Nitrophenol is a highly toxic environmental pollutant. It challenge to selectively remove it from mixture of various pollutants. Herein, we report study on the selective adsorption 4-nitrophenol by using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The polymer was synthesized cellulose as framework, onto which, complex imprinting molecule (i.e., 4-nitrophenol) and candidate material [namel...

The spectral characteristics of lactose repressor protein modified with two nitrophenol reporter groups have been determined. Reaction of Z-chloromercuri-4nitrophenol with repressor increases the apparent pK of the nitrophenol from 6.75 to 8.3 and alters the wavelength of maximum absorption. Subsequent binding of inducer shifts the apparent pK toward slightly more acid pH. The pK values of the ...
