Several oxygen adducts are formed when oxygen is diffused into the interplanar spacings of solid -Fe II Pc suspended in water. The constraints imposed by the solid matrix induce formation of interesting oxygen adducts which cannot be synthesized by regular solution chemistry. One of the oxygen adducts exhibits low-spin to high-spin transition with considerable thermal hysteresis.

The liquors were found to be adulterated with impure water from different sources. The measurement of pH, chloride concentration, total dissolved solid, total suspended solid and heavy metals reveals the adulteration in liquors. The duplicate brands contain rectified spirit, caramel, coloring agents, flavoring agents and essential oils which are not according to specifications. The adulterated ...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be operated in a reversed mode as electrolyzer cells for electrolysis of H2O and CO2. In this paper, a 2D thermal model is developed to study the heat/mass transfer and chemical/electrochemical reactions in a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) for H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis. The model is based on 3 sub-models: a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model describi...

eight sites were sampled during seven rain events to quantify and identify the sources ofpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urban runoff in the city of tijuana, mexico. the total σ16 pahsconcentration rangedfrom 1113 to 4866 μg/lin the sampled sites and thetotal suspended solid concentrations ranged from 7725 to 4413 μg/l. the high concentrations of total suspended solids were probably the res...

In 2006, organotins pollution were investigated in the coastal environment of Xiamen, China. Six species of organotin compounds including tributyltin, triphenyltin and their degradation compounds were quantified in the dissolved and particulate phases of the water, and in the sediment using GC-FPD. The concentrations of organotin compounds ranged from 2.2 to 160 ng (Sn) L(-1) dissolved in the w...

Lambda-cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used for controlling pest insects in agriculture, public health, and in construction and households. Lambda-cyhalothrin is characterized by low vapor pressure and a low Henry's law constant but by a high octanol-water partition coefficient (K(ow)) and high water-solid-organic carbon partition coefficient (K(oc)) values. Lambda-cyhalothrin is quite ...

This numerical study investigates the steady state unimolecular thermal decomposition of a chemical dissolved in water inside a parallel-plate reactor containing four heated circular rods using a penalty Galerkin finite element approach. The reactant fluid enters from the left inlet and exits from the right outlet of the reactor. All solid walls of the reactor are assumed to be thermodynamicall...

estimate of sediment load is required in a wide spectrum of water resources engineering problems. the nonlinear nature of suspended sediment load series necessitates the utilization of nonlinear methods to simulate the suspended sediment load. in this study artificial neural networks (anns) are employed to estimate daily suspended sediment load. two different ann algorithms, multi layer percept...

Background & Aims of the Study: High concentration of nitrogen compounds in water and wastewater can be caused various problems and diseases such as methhemoglobinemia and eutrophication. The aim of this study was investigated nitrification and denitrification from wastewater using integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) includes powder activated carbon. Materias and Methods: The labo...

heavy metals are considered one of the most important environmental pollution and are dissolved form or adsorbed to the suspended solides in the urban storm runoffs and infiltratire ponds. in this article the heavy metals of urban storm runoff and sediments of infiltration pond in shiraz city have been investigated. the results show different pollutions in the urban storm runoffs such as dissol...
