The reactivity of Chlorpyrifos-Methyl (1) toward hydroxyl ion and the α-nucleophile, perhydroxyl ion was investigated in aqueous basic media. The hydrolysis of 1 was studied at 25° C in water containing 10% ACN or 7% ...

This work deals with the treatment of the wastewaters resulting from the process of dyeing flowers. In some local cases for growing flowers near to Medellin (Colombia), wastewater color was found to be one of the main ...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the third biological gasotransmitter, and in animals, it affects many physiological processes by modulating ion channels. H2S has been reported to protect plants from oxidative stress in diverse ...

We have conducted experiments on the sputtering of water ice by 100 keV Ar+ between 20 and 150 K. Our findings indicate that the temperature dependence of the total sputtering yield is heavily influenced by the thermal and ...

The effect of NaCl and HCl on two non-ionic surfactant micelles was studied using several techniques, including conductivity and ion-selective electrodes. Both surfactants exhibit opposite behaviour. When Tween 20 is ...

The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied as a tool for the optimization of the operational conditions of the photo-degradation of highly concentrated PY12 wastewater, resulting from a textile industry located in ...

The activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) intensifies the problems associated to corrosion of metals and the solution entails significant economic costs. Although molybdate can be used to control the negative effects ...

A cylindrical reactor with swirling flow is tested for the production of colloidal sulphur via the oxidation of sulphide ions with a concentration of 2 g dm−3 in alkaline solutions at 80 °C. Polysulphides are anodically ...

Branched gold nanoparticles were prepared by a seed-mediated approach using per-6-thio-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin capped gold nanospheres as seeds and a growth medium similar to those commonly employed to prepare gold nanorods, ...
