Photocatalytic degradation of 4-Nitrophenol by g-C3N4-MCy: Mechanism study and kinetic modeling
2021
Abstract A graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4-MCy) photocatalyst was prepared by thermal condensation of melamine and cyanuric acid with equal proportions. The photocatalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Specific surface area (SSA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and DRS–UV–Vis spectroscopic methods. We studied the photo-degradation kinetics of 4-nitrophenol using a g-C3N4-MCy. Four parameters were applied including initial concentration of 4-nitrophenol, amount of catalyst, dissolved oxygen content, and photon flux. The reaction rate constant was shown to be correlate…
Streulichtuntersuchungen an exotherm-pseudoidealen Lösungen in Abhängigkeit von Druck und Temperatur
1971
Fraktionierte Proben von Polyisobutylen (PIB) (Mw = 73 500 und 690 000) wurden in n-Pentan (70–85°C) und in i-Octan (15–45°C) bei Drucken bis zu 1000 atm untersucht. An beiden Systemen beobachtet man eine ausgepragte Zunahme des zweiten osmotischen Virialkoeffizienten A2 mit steigendem Druck und eine wesentlich schwachere Abnahme mit steigender Temperatur. Eine genauere Analyse ergibt folgendes Bild: Der bei verschiedenen konstanten Drucken aus der Temperaturabhangigkeit von A2 ermittelte A2,H-Wert nimmt mit steigender Temperatur zu und mit steigendem Druck ab; dieser Befund steht im Einklang mit den Ergebnissen der fruheren Untersuchungen [1 – 3]. Im vorliegenden Fall bedeutet er, das die …
Understanding the mechanism of the Povarov reaction. A DFT study
2014
The molecular mechanism of the Povarov reaction in acetonitrile has been studied at the MPWB1K/6-311G** level of theory. This reaction follows a domino process that comprises two sequential reactions: (i) a Lewis acid catalysed aza-Diels–Alder (A-DA) reaction between a N-aryl imine and a nucleophilic ethylene yielding a formal [4 + 2] cycloadduct; (ii) a stepwise 1,3-hydrogen shift at this intermediate affording the final tetrahydroquinoline. At this computational level, the Lewis acid catalysed A-DA reaction presents a two-step mechanism as a consequence of the large stabilisation of the corresponding zwitterionic intermediate. Our study allows establishing that the N-aryl substituent has …
Investigation of electrode material – Redox couple systems for reverse electrodialysis processes. Part I: Iron redox couples
2012
Abstract The performances of electrodialysis (ED) and reverse electrodialysis (RED) processes depend on several factors, including the nature of the electrode material and of the redox couple adopted to make possible the conversion between electric power and chemical potential. In this paper, the possible utilization of iron-based redox couples (FeCl3/FeCl2, hexacyanoferrate(III)/hexacyanoferrate(II) and Fe(III)-EDTA/Fe(II)-EDTA) on graphite and DSA electrodes for RED processes was studied by a detailed experimental investigation. The hexacyanoferrate(III)/hexacyanoferrate(II) system was stable for long time (more than 12 days) in the absence of light and oxygen at high redox couple concent…
Electrocarboxylation of benzyl chlorides at silver cathode at the preparative scale level
2008
Abstract The electrocarboxylation of benzyl chlorides to the corresponding carboxylic acids performed at silver cathodes was investigated both theoretically and experimentally in order to find the influence of the operative parameters on the selectivity and on the Faradic efficiency of the process. Theoretical considerations were confirmed by the electrocarboxylation of 1-phenyl-1-chloroethane performed in undivided cells equipped with sacrificial anodes both in a bench-scale electrochemical batch reactor and in a continuous batch recirculation reaction system equipped with a parallel plate electrochemical cell. Selectivity and Faradic yields higher than 80% and 70%, respectively, were obta…
The influence of phosphoric acid on steel and on its corrosion products: a Mössbauer spectroscopic approach
1983
Mossbauer spectroscopy was used to study corroded iron after treatment with phosphoric acid or commercial rust transformers. It was found that treatment produced normal iron phosphates from metallic iron, hematite and FeO, and acid ferric phosphate FeH 3 (POI4I)I2I. 2.5H 2 O from alphaand gamma Fe 2 O 3 and alpha, beta, and gammaFeOOH. When these last are present, phosph oric acid treatment does not produce a protective, inhibiting layer. See also AATA 19-702. -- AATA
Functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles: influence of ligand addition sequence and pH during their continuous hydrothermal synthesis
2015
In this study we report various new efficient ways to synthesize and modify in situ magnetite (Fe3O4) iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). Thanks to an apparatus especially developed for this new method of grafting, the NPs have been synthesized and functionalized by 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (DHCA) or 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (LDOPA) in one step and under hydrothermal conditions using varying concentration ratios ([organic molecules]/[ferrous and ferric ions]). The organic molecules were added before or after the NP synthesis. The addition of these organic molecules modifies the structure, the morphology, the oxidation degree and the growth of the crystallites. Adding the organic mol…
Electrochemical chiral recognition by microparticle coatings of Pd complexes with bridging cyclometalated phosphines
2008
Abstract The palladium(II) dinuclear complex with bridging cyclometalated phosphines, {Pd2[μ-(C6H4)PPh2]2(μ-O2CCH3)2} (Pd2L2), having a paddlewheel structure, is reversibly oxidized in CH2Cl2 to a dinuclear palladium(III) analogue via two successive one-electron steps. Solid state voltammetry of Pd2L2 in contact with aqueous electrolytes produce as one-electron oxidation with two competing mechanisms involving anion intercalation/anion binding between/to metal centres, chloride ions acting as inhibitors for the first pathway. R- and S-Pd2L2 produces a significant stereoselective electrocatalytic activity with respect to the oxidation of l - and d -glutamic acid in alkaline media.
Dimeric resorcinarene salt capsules with very tight encapsulation of anions and guest molecules
2015
Crystallization of N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene triflate from methanol results in a dimeric capsule capable of trapping two triflate anions and two methanol molecules within a 341 A3 cavity while with 1,4-dioxane as a guest it forms a new larger dimeric capsule with volume of 679 A3 encapsulating four 1,4-dioxane and four water molecules, resulting in packing coefficients of 0.75 and 0.67, respectively.
