Effect of alternating current (AC) on the corrosion behavior of X80 pipeline steel has been investigated using electrochemical techniques and surface analysis methods in real acidic red soils. The AC current dramatically enhances the corrosion of steel coupon, and the corrosion rate increases wi...

Obvious redness generation has been observed in storage and processing for spray-dried WPI-ascorbic acid powders. The lower limit of detection by human observation is 0.001 g/mL for the concentration of ascorbic acid (AA:WPI ratio of 1:100). The redness is related to the adsorption of violet lig...

Experimental evidence suggests that moderate consumption of wine has health promoting properties that have been mainly attributed to the wine polyphenol content. However, a systematic analysis of the major healthy molecules contained in wines has not been conducted yet. Our study explored the po...

Fast, non-destructive methods for determining the seed composition of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz would be beneficial in evaluating germplasm for important agronomic traits. In this study, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) methods were developed and evaluated for conducting non-destructive, high...

Formic acid is a chemical with a simple molecular structure containing hydrogen. This liquid at room temperature is easy to handle and has a low toxicity, and is thus in the spotlight as a fuel. In particular, formic acid is an excellent fuel candidate because it can be operated at low temperatu...

Though non-anthocyanin phenolics normally do not have red color, they affect the red color expression in the copigmentation of red wines. In this study, the influence of prefermentative addition of 300 mg/L gallic acid and ellagic acid, as cofactors, on aging dry red wines had been systematicall...

This study aimed to characterize the immunostimulatory and structural properties of the red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP; Panax ginseng Meyer), a polysaccharide fraction (RGP-AP) isolated from red ginseng via hot water extraction, followed by amylase and, subsequently, pectinase digestion...

Human activities have enhanced environmental contamination by heavy metals such as mercury. One of the possible approaches to reducing mercury toxicity is chelation, with several plant compounds demonstrating this effect, such as gallic acid. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antio...

ObjectiveTo determine the pharmacokinetics of tolfenamic acid (TA) after different routes of administration [intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM), 2 mg kg−1] and doses (IV, 2 and 4 mg kg−1) in red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans).

Pervaporation (PV) performance of polyimide (PI) membranes has been attempted for the recovery of high concentrations of aprotic solvents, such as N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). In this work, we explored the effect of chain structure on the solvent resistance an...

Two demensional nanomaterials have attracted increasing research interest for various applications ranging from environmental adsorption, biomedical applications, catalytic degradation and energy storage owing to their high surface areas, facile surface functionalization. In this work, we demons...

Expelling of dyestuff into water resource system causes major thread to the environment. Adsorption is the cost effective and potential method to remove the dyes from the effluents. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the adsorption of dyestuff (Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BPB) an...

Increasing demands for detection of toxic gases have attracted more and more attention to design and fabricate gas sensors with properties of ppb-level detectable, good selectivity, and long-term stability. In this paper, Prussian blue (PB) was utilized as precursor for preparation of Fe2O3. The...

In this study, batch experiments were carried out for the sorption of basic blue 41 (BB 41), and acid blue 225 (AB 225) onto boron waste (BW) from boron enrichment plant. The operating variables studied are the initial dye concentration, contact time, solution pH, and adsorbent dosage. The exper...

The sorption of methylene blue from aqueous solutions by the microalgae Scenedesmus was studied in batch and continuous systems. In the first part of the study, the sorption capacity of methylene blue on the Scenedesmus was obtained at various temperatures (22 °C, 30 °C and 37 °C) and pH valu...

Promising alternatives to increase the degradation of dyes in polluted water are radiation and the addition of particulate materials as catalysts. Specifically, gold particles have demonstrated an enhancement of dye degradation in the presence of UV light and/or reducing agents by increasing the...

Preparation of economically and environmentally viable adsorbents out of biomass has achieved immense interest for the water treatment purposes. This study reported the synthesis of a low-cost and high-capacity adsorbent viz. sulfonated peanut shells (PNS-SO3H) by a facile sulfuric acid (H2SO4) ...

It is now well documented that plants produce methane (CH4) under aerobic conditions. However, the nature of methane production in plants and all the potential precursors and environmental factors that can be involved in the process are not fully understood. Earlier studies have suggested severa...

Prussian blue (PB, Fe(III)4[Fe(II)(CN)6]3) is a prototype of metal hexacyanoferrates with well-known magnetic properties and electrochromic (redox reaction between Fe2+ and Fe3+) and electrochemical behavior [1,2]. The shape-control of PB has drawn increasing attention owing to its shape-depende...
