well faceted cuo nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a short period of time. a possible mechanism for synthesis of such highly pure and stable nanoparticles is tentatively proposed by ft-ir study. the large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanoparticles with excellent performances in catalysis as d...

the oxidation of n-pentanol by tetramethylammonium fluorochromate in acidic solution wasstudied using spectrophotometric technique. the reaction was arranged to be under pseudo firstorderconditions respect to the oxidant. a michaelis-menten type kinetic was observed respect tothe substrate. the reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. dependences of the reaction rates ontemperature and different...

The chemical behavior of metmyoglobin has received considerable attention, notably by Keilin and Hartree (1) and by George (2) and George and Irvine (3-5), on the grounds that it has the same prosthetic group as peroxidase and catalase and reacts with II&&, but at a rate more convenient for kinetic investigation. Although the mechanism of HzOz decomposition has proved t.o be different, this in ...

In the present research, the selective oxidation of lauryl alcohol to lauraldehyde was studied under liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as an oxidizing agent and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as the phase transfer catalyst. Chromium (VI) reagents are used in these oxidations since the alcohols are selectively oxidized <e...

Ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. Ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. Of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. Therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry pH, solid percentage, water chemistry an...

In the present study, Nickel-Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by using electroplating deposition method. The prepared electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis. Results showed that Ni-Cu nanoparticles with a high density are distributed at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Subsequentl...
