A simple and efficient synthesis of 1,2-diarylethanols has been developed. The procedure involved the reaction between a variety of toluene derivatives and aryl aldehydes under conventional heating and ultrasound irradiation. This procedure possesses several advantages such as operational simplicity, high yield, safety and environment benignancy. Ultrasound was proved to be very helpful to the ...

From nuclear materials accountability to detection of special nuclear material, SNM, the need for better modeling of fission has grown over the past decades. Current radiation transport codes compute average quantities with great accuracy and performance, but performance and averaging come at the price of limited interaction-by-interaction modeling. For fission applications, these codes often l...

This study provides details of a novel continuous process to eliminate the pollution of yellow phosphorus tail gas, which can also produce high quality and low cost formic acid, with a particular focus on the high and variable viscosity of the system and the rationality of energy utilization. A compact acidification reactor was developed as the key equipment used in this novel process, based on...

based on the {s+, i-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. the high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. with decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of reaction decreases and the stability of mes...

The identification problem of bioprocesses in a stirred tank reactor essentially concerns the determination of the yield coefficients and the reaction rates involved in a general state-space model. This paper deals with the analysis of structural identifiability of the yield coefficients issuing from a two-step identification procedure. In fact, the identification of the yield coefficients can ...

Design of Experiments (DoE) is a powerful guiding tool that can help researchers to identify the main variables that affect the performance characteristics. The present paper elaborates on the optimization and prediction of reaction parameters like type of plastic, catalyst, and temperature using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array method with three levels and three parameters to obtai...

The conditions of the reaction of malononitrile dimer with enaminones and arylidenemalononitrile could be adapted to yield either pyridines or benzene derivatives. A new synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines from the reaction of malononitrile dimer 1 and 2-phenyl-3-piperidin-1-yl-acrylonitrile (11) is described. Compound 1 condensed with DMFDMA to yield an enaminonitrile that reacted with hydra...
