SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF METALLOPORPHYRINS IN ROOM TEMPERATURE IONIC LIQUID Yong Soo Hoo, B.A., M.S. Marquette University, 2010 The oxidation/reduction reactions of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins play an important role in medicinal, industrial and biochemical reactions. Metalloporphyrins are particularly useful as potential catalysts for a variety of processes including catalytic oxi...

X6Al2HT500 hydrotalcites, where X represents Mg, Fe, Cu or Zn were synthetized and investigated before and after gold deposition for toluene and CO total oxidation reactions. The samples have been characterized by specific areas, XRD measurements and Temperature Programmed Reduction. Concerning the toluene total oxidation, the best activity was obtained with Au/Cu6Al2HT500 catalyst with T50 at ...

ABSTRACT: Degumming and neutralization processes are two essential stages carried out on crude edible oils in order to remove some unwanted impurities namely gums and free fatty acids. In this research study two popular less expensive commercial oils that are consumed to a great extent namely soyabean and sunflower seed oils are selected and subjected to both degumming and neutralization proces...

The selective synthesis of different products from the same starting materials in water, which is the most abundant solvent in nature, is a crucial issue as it maximizes the utilization of materials. Realizing such reactions for ketones is of considerable importance because numerous organic functionalities can be obtained via nucleophilic addition reactions. Herein, we report chemoselective red...

Inspired by the paper, 'Brain glutamine synthesis requires neuronal-born aspartate as amino donor for glial glutamate formation' by Pardo et al, a modified model of oxidation-reduction, transamination, and mitochondrial carrier reactions involved in aspartate-dependent astrocytic glutamine synthesis and oxidation is proposed. The alternative model retains the need for cytosolic aspartate for tr...
