Calcium and magnesium peroxides were applied for the treatment of soil contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls-containing electrical insulating oil (Aroclor 1016). The removal of PCB-containing electrical insulating oil was achieved with the addition of either calcium peroxide or magnesium per...

In this study, a superhydrophobic film was successfully fabricated on the surface of magnesium alloy AZ31 by a rapidly hydrothermal process in the presence of hydrogen peroxide without using any template and surfactant, and then covered with fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) molecules. The superhydrophobi...

The impact of vanadium (V) and magnesium (Mg) as sodium metavanadate (SMV, 0.125 mg V/ml) and magnesium sulfate (MS, 0.06 mg Mg/ml) on lipid peroxidation (LPO) and selected elements in the rat erythrocytes (RBCs) was investigated. Relationships between some indices determined in RBC were also st...

Magnesium peroxide has been identified in Mg/air batteries as an intermediate in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) [1]. It is assumed that MgO2 is involved in the solid-electrolyte interphase on the cathode surface. Therefore its structure and stability play a crucial role in the performance o...

One of the challenges in the petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater remediation by oxygen releasing compounds (ORCs) is to identify the remediation mechanism and determine the impact of ORCs on the environment and the intrinsic groundwater microorganisms. In this research, the applicatio...

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering measurements have been performed in order to investigate ionic dynamics in molten CuI at 650 °C. The prominent elastic contribution was observed at around 0.85 Å−1, where the partial structure factor of the Cu–Cu correlation has the first sharp diffraction peak...

A method is given for deposition of a microporous film of cuprous iodide on indium-tin oxide glass substrate. Characteristics of the photocurrent spectra of the chlorophyll-sensitized film under back-wall and front-wall illumination are described.

The phase structures and the phase transition temperatures among α, β and γ phases of CuI have been studied by using X-ray diffractometer with high-temperature camera. The phase transition temperatures are found to be obviously lower than the previous results. And the X-ray diffraction result...

This paper describes the application of an anode-support system to the electrolytic production of cuprous iodide by the anodic dissolution of metallic copper in an acidic potassium iodide solution. At the cathode the reduction of iodine to iodide is carried out. It has been determined that it is...

Mixed-matrix membranes blended with nanosized inorganic fillers have been widely used in ultrafiltration (UF) for large molecule separation. In this work, we provide a feasible route to construct mixed-matrix polysulfone (PSf) UF membranes via the nonsolvent-induced phase inversion process, util...

Self-assembly of cuprous iodide [Cu(I)] and five flexible bis(pyridyl) ligands generates five complexes, [CuI(L1)(PPh3)]2·2H2O (1), [Cu2I2(L2)(PPh3)2]n·2nCH2Cl2 (2), [CuI2(L3)] (3), [Cu3I3(r-L1)]n (4) and [Cu3I3(r-L2)]n·nH2O (5) (PPh3 = triphenylphosphine, L1 = N,N′-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethylene...

Cuprous chloride (CuCl) was examined as a precipitant to remove iodide (I−) from aqueous solutions. The effects of the dosage of CuCl, reaction time, initial concentrations of I− and bicarbonate (HCO3−) on I− removal were investigated. The results showed that the optimized removal efficiency of ...

Cuprous iodide, that recently has been used as an inorganic hole (vacant state) conductor material in dye sensitized solar cells, was successfully synthesized with a rapid, low cost, one pot and solvent free reaction using the mechanochemical method. The XRD data showed that all peaks matched we...

Two cuprous iodide polymorphs formulated as [N(CH3)4][Cu2I3] α and β were synthesized, in which N(CH3)4+ template that never existed in the reaction materials are in situ generated via cleavage of CN bonds and N-alkylation reactions. Solvothermal reaction of copper source, hexamethylenetetrami...

One-dimensional growth of copper (Cu) is observed when Cu is deposited on cuprous iodide (CuI) films at elevated temperatures by thermal evaporation in high vacuum. The morphology, crystallinity, and chemical composition were examined for the samples using scanning electron microscopy, transmiss...

An alternative method for the synthesis of biodiesel fuel from rapeseed oil that prevents formation of glycerol and produces the fuel in mass exceeding the mass of oil has been proposed. Upon the interesterification reaction with different alkyl acetates triacetin is formed (instead of glycerol)...

For separation of the azeotrope isopropyl alcohol and diisopropyl ether by extractive distillation, 2-ethoxyethanol and butyl acetate were adopted as extractive solvents, and the vapour–liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems of isopropyl alcohol + 2-ethoxyethanol, isopropyl alcohol + bu...

The separation of ternary mixtures with homogeneous or heterogeneous multi-azeotropes has received increasing attention. In this work, a systematic design, optimization and control procedure is proposed for extractive distillation of heterogeneous mixtures with four azeotropes. Herein, the terna...

On the basis of analyzing the azeotropic behavior, comparing the accuracy of different property models and selecting reaction kinetics, a reactive distillation (RD) process for production of isopropyl acetate (IPAc) through the esterification of acetic acid and isopropanol is designed, through w...
