Mechanistic aspects of oxalic acid oxidation by photocatalysis and ozonation
2008
Oxalic acid has been oxidised in acidic aqueous solutions (pH 3) using photocatalysis and ozonation alone or coupled. The simultaneous presence of ozone, titanium dioxide and near UV irradiation increases the oxidation rate of oxalic acid to values greater than those deriving from the single contributions of photocatalysis and ozonation. In particular in the present paper ozonation alone, heterogeneous photocatalysis and also combined ozonation with heterogeneous photocatalysis have been used for the oxidation of oxalic acid at acidic pH in the presence of TiO2 Degussa P25. A likely mechanism, able to explain both the homogeneous and heterogeneous processes, is discussed.
Ascorbic Acid Stability in Ground Asparagus Samples and in Oxalic Acid Extracts
1995
To establish the storage conditions for asparagus preparation before ascorbic acid determination, samples were ground, the mass was divided into three aliquots that were, respectively, stored at 4°C, – 18°C, or extracted with 1% oxalic acid. The extract was further split into aliquots and stored at 25°, 4°, –18° and -75°C. Ascorbic acid content was measured at different times of storage by a polarographic method. The rate of degradation increased with storage temperature; the degradation rate was higher in ground samples than in extracts; no significant changes in ascorbic acid content were observed in extracts stored for 7 days at -18° or for 90 days at -75°C.
Effect of Urea–Hydrogen Peroxide Content on the Photocatalytic Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
2021
ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using zinc acetate dihydrate, ethanol, and oxalic acid as precursor, solvent, and complexing agent, respectively, and urea–hydrogen peroxide (UHP) as, simultaneously, nitrogen precursor and oxygen donor. The structural, morphological, textural, and optical properties of ZnO photocatalysts were investigated using different characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, BET, and UV-Vis-DRS. The XRD patterns showed that the products consisted of ZnO and revealed the presence of nitrogen. SEM images revealed the agglomeration and aggregation of NPs. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO samples was estimated based on the photo-oxidation of 2-propanol under UV i…

Labile carbon alleviates wood ash effects on soil fauna
2008
The combined effects of wood ash, sucrose and oxalic acid on enchytraeid size and biomass, the abundance of microbial-feeding nematodes and pH were studied in a full three-factorial design in laboratory microcosms containing 30 g of Norway spruce forest humus. Wood ash treatment reduced enchytraeid size and abundance, but these effects were offset by sucrose without any change in pH or moisture. The positive effects of sucrose were partially counteracted by oxalic acid. Both carbon compounds increased the abundance of obligate microbial-feeding nematodes, indicating enhanced microbial production.
Pyrolysis study of sol-gel derived TiO2powders
2004
An amorphous TiO2 gel was obtained by hydrolysing titanium(IV) isopropoxide with a stoichiometric amount of water using SnCl2 as catalyst. In these operative conditions, a TiO2 gel matrix containing a lower fraction of organic residual was obtained with respect to samples prepared by previously modifying the titanium alkoxide precursor with chelating ligands. Dried gel powders were characterized by N2 adsorption analyses, FT-IR and XRD measurements. Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) coupled with mass spectrometric (MS) and gas chromatographic (GC) measurements were performed in order to identify the organic products released from TiO2 gel pyrolysis. The Tg-MS se…
Synthesis of vanillin in water by TiO2 photocatalysis
2012
Abstract The photoproduction of vanillin is studied in aqueous medium starting from trans-ferulic acid, isoeugenol, eugenol or vanillyl alcohol by using both commercial and home prepared TiO2 samples as photocatalysts and batch Pyrex photoreactors. The photo-oxidation at room temperature of these compounds produces vanillin with a selectivity ranging from 1.4 to 21 mol% with respect to the converted substrate. An investigation on the intermediates was performed in the case of trans-ferulic acid; for this substrate the most important intermediates were homovanillic acid, vanillyl mandelic acid, trans-caffeic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and oxalic acid. The carbon mass balance, including …
Ethylammonium hydrogen oxalate–oxalic acid (2/1)
2019
The reaction between ethylamine and oxalic acid in water in a 1:1 molar ratio afforded the title salt, C2H8N+·C2HO4 −·0.5C2H2O4. The hydrogen oxalate anions interact through hydrogen bonding and are organized into a chains propagating along the c-axis direction. The chains are connected to the neighbouring cations and oxalic acid molecules by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and N...O dipole–dipole contacts, leading to a supramolecular three-dimensional network.
Selective Guest Inclusion in Oxalate-Based Iron(III) Magnetic Coordination Polymers
2016
The preparation and structural characterization of four novel oxalate-based iron(III) compounds of formulas {(MeNH3)2[Fe2(ox)2Cl4]·2.5H2O}n (1), K(MeNH3)[Fe(ox)Cl3(H2O)] (2), {MeNH3[Fe2(OH)(ox)2Cl2]·2H2O}n (3), and {(H3O)(MeNH3)[Fe2O(ox)2Cl2]·3H2O}n (4) (MeNH3+ = methylammonium cation and H2ox = oxalic acid) are reported here. 1 is an anionic waving chain of oxalato-bridged iron(III) ions with peripheral chloro ligands, the charge balance being ensured by methylammonium cations. 2 is a mononuclear complex with a bidentate oxalate, three terminal chloro ligands, and a coordinated water molecule achieving the six-coordination around each iron(III) ion. Its negative charge is balanced by potas…
