The mineralization of nitrobenzene was executed using an innovative method, wherein Ag/Cu2O semiconductors stimulated by visible light irradiation were supported with persulfate anions. Batch-wise experiments performed for the evaluation effects silver metal contents impregnated, concentrations and dosages on removal efficiency. physicochemical properties fresh reacted illustrated X-ray diffrac...

A standard assay for measuring alkaline phosphatase activity is detecting the production of nitrophenol from the artificial substrate p-nitrophenol phosphate. Nitrophenol absorbs light at 420 nm, which provides a convenient detection method. However, the absorbance of nitrophenol varies with pH. This variation complicates the use of the colorimetric assay to study the pH-dependence of alkaline ...

Saturation mutagenesis of the 2,4-dinitrotoluene dioxygenase (DDO) of Burkholderia cepacia R34 at position valine 350 of the DntAc alpha-subunit generated mutant V350F with significantly increased activity towards o-nitrophenol (47 times), m-nitrophenol (34 times), and o-methoxyphenol (174 times) as well as an expanded substrate range that now includes m-methoxyphenol, o-cresol, and m-cresol (w...

Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is a kind of organic aerosol that efficiently absorbs ultraviolet-visible light and has an impact on climate forcing. We conducted in-depth field study ambient aerosols at monitoring point in Shanghai, China, aiming to investigate the potential emission sources, molecular structures, contributions absorptions BrC chromophores. The results indicated nine molecules ...

In this work, we have synthesized eccentric Au@TiO(2) core-shell nanostructures and demonstrated their multiple reuse in the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

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...

1. The purification to homogeneity of stable highly active preparations of UDP-glucuronyltransferase from liver of phenobarbital-treated rats is briefly described. 2. A single polypeptide was visible after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, of mol.wt.57000. 3. Antiserum raised against the pure enzyme produces a single sharp precipitin line after Ouchterlony double-diffu...

Compound 2-chloro-5-nitrophenol (2C5NP) is a typical chlorinated nitroaromatic pollutant. To date, the bacteria with the ability to degrade 2C5NP are rare, and the molecular mechanism of 2C5NP degradation remains unknown. In this study, Cupriavidus sp. strain CNP-8 utilizing 2-chloro-5-nitrophenol (2C5NP) and meta-nitrophenol (MNP) via partial reductive pathways was isolated from pesticide-cont...
