Urea fertilizer was tested as a corrosion inhibitor for reinforced steel in simulated concrete pore solution containing chloride ions. Open circuit potential measurements showed that steel samples immersed in solutions with urea moved to a more positive potential compared to the control, indicating urea forms a protective film. Polarization tests after 2 hours showed corrosion current and rate decreased with urea, with 0.5% urea providing 85.5% inhibition efficiency. After 7 days, 0.5% urea still gave the highest inhibition at 86.15%, though performance dropped at 1% concentration, suggesting an optimal amount is required. Urea was found to be an effective corrosion inhibitor for reinforced steel.

The document summarizes research on the synthesis and characterization of chromium oxide nanoparticles using a chemical precipitation method. Chromium sulfate and chromium chloride precursors were used with ammonium hydroxide as the precipitating agent. The nanoparticles were characterized using XRD and UV-Vis spectroscopy. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of hexagonal chromium oxide nanoparticles around 24-27 nm in size. UV-Vis analysis found the bandgap to be approximately 3.7-4.8 eV. The antibacterial properties of the nanoparticles were examined by measuring zones of inhibition for E. coli bacteria, finding zones of 10mm and 8mm for two samples, demonstrating the potential for using chromium oxide nanoparticles as antibacterial agents.
Cellulose protectors for improving ozone bleaching - reviewMichal Jablonsky
The document reviews cellulose protectors that have been used to improve ozone bleaching processes. It systematically classifies protectors into 7 chemical groups and evaluates their effects on viscosity, kappa number, and brightness compared to bleaching without protectors. Alcohols and carboxylic acids are generally the most effective, positively impacting lignin removal while preventing carbohydrate degradation. Inorganic additives usually show no benefits. The protectors are thought to work by scavenging radicals, selective adsorption to cellulose, or forming protective compounds on the cellulose surface. Overall, no single protector was identified that strongly promotes lignin removal without also degrading cellulose.

This document characterizes aqueous immersion solutions of novel environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors used to inhibit corrosion of mild steel substrates. The immersion solutions were analyzed qualitatively by visual observation of color changes and quantitatively by measuring pH, conductivity, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) before and after immersion. The results showed that most inhibitor solutions decreased in ORP by about 350 mV and had inhibition efficiencies between 50-100%. Exceptions were solutions containing zinc/calcium gluconates or vanadate esters, which changed ORP less. pH changes correlated with inhibition ability, with better inhibitors increasing pH slightly and poor inhibitors increasing pH more. Conductivity generally decreased for good inhibitors and increased for a poor inhibitor. The
1991_Sensitivity to Iron Impurity Content of Corrosion Rate of Mg-15Al_Cotton...James D. Cotton
The corrosion rates of extrusions produced from rapidly-solidified Mg-15wt%AI alloy powder containing varying levels of iron (Fe) impurity (0.003-0.020wt%) were studied. Trace amounts of Fe were found to have a strong exponential effect on the corrosion rate, consistent with previous studies. However, the sensitivity to Fe content was markedly lower for the rapidly-solidified alloys compared to conventionally-cast alloys. This effect is explained by the microstructural refinement produced by rapid solidification, which decreases the scale of microstructure and distributes corrosion more evenly. Both pitting and filiform corrosion were observed and characterized using various microscopy techniques.

Removal of Cr(VI) by biosorption on two agro waste materials, casuarinas fruit powder (CFP) and sorghum
stem powder (SSP), has been investigated. The prepared adsorbent materials were characterized by SEM, EDX,
FTIR and BET. These biomaterials effectively removed Cr(VI) with a maximum removal of 93.35% and 63.75% using
15 gL−1 and 5 gL−1 of CFP and SSP, respectively, at 60 oC with 20mgL−1 initial Cr(VI) concentration in solution. In both
cases of adsorbents, kinetic data of adsorption fitted well in pseudo-second-order in terms of correlation coefficient
(R2). This helps in proposing the process of adsorption as chemical coordination, which is correlated with the thermodynamic
study results conducted at different values of temperature. Langmuir, Freundlich and D-R models were evaluated
for description of metal sorption isotherms. Values of coefficients of intra-particle diffusion and mass transfer have
also been determined at different values of temperature.

This research studied the effects of iron and scandium doping on the crystal structure and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of strontium cobalt oxide (SCO) electrocatalysts. X-ray diffraction showed that doping caused the SCO crystal structure to shift from hexagonal to cubic. Testing found that iron-doped SCO lowered the OER overpotential by 40 mV and achieved water oxidation at 410 mV, performing better than undoped SCO. While crystal structure changes with doping, OER performance correlated more with the catalytically active dopant metal than structure. Iron-doped cubic SCO also exhibited greater stability during testing.

Specifically, acrylate and methacrylate monomers were deposited on a surface using BPL and photopolymerized upon exposure to UV light, resulting in brush polymer features. For the first time, these techniques were used to create glycan arrays by functionalizing methacrylate brush polymers with glucose residues. The binding of fluorescently labeled concanavalin A to these glycan arrays was then assessed, demonstrating significantly higher fluorescence compared to monolayer glycan arrays. The

This document summarizes a research article that describes a visible-light-induced dual carbon-carbon bond formation reaction for the synthesis of alkylated oxindoles from alkenes and simple ethers via selective sp3 carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage under metal-free conditions. The reaction uses a photoredox catalyst, tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant, and proceeds at room temperature to provide the products in good to excellent yields from a variety of starting materials. Optimization studies established that conducting the reaction in neat tetrahydrofuran using these conditions gave the best results. This method provides an efficient way to synthesize biologically active alkylated oxindole compounds through a mild, atom-economic process.
This document reports on a study investigating the influence of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) on the aggregation behavior of aqueous solutions of 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C16MeImCl), a cationic surface active ionic liquid (SAIL). Electrical conductivity and surface tension measurements were used to study C16MeImCl aggregation in the presence of NaCMC. Two characteristic concentrations were identified before free C16MeImCl micelles form: the critical aggregation concentration and the polymer saturation concentration. The effects of temperature, NaCMC concentration, and NaCMC charge density on C16MeImCl self-aggregation were analyzed. Thermodynamic parameters of C16MeImCl mic
The document discusses nanocrystalline cristobalite powders doped with 10% copper. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that pure silicon dioxide consisted of quartz at 800°C, while the doped powder was nearly amorphous. At 900°C, the doped powder showed traces of cristobalite and tridymite phases. Increased temperature caused these phases to grow, with the most rapid cristobalite growth between 1100-1200°C. Photocatalytic tests showed the doped powder had higher degradation of methyl orange under visible light compared to pure silicon dioxide.
This proposal outlines a project to synthesize water soluble ruthenium precursors for use in coordination-driven self-assembly of metallacycles and cages. The student proposes modifying the arene ligand of common ruthenium molecular clips with an ethylene glycol group to impart improved water solubility. This water soluble clip will first be assembled into an oxalate-bridged complex and characterized. Alternative bridging ligands will then be explored, with a focus on aromatic ligands that show enhanced biological activity. The goal is to establish the water solubility of the resulting supramolecular coordination complexes and evaluate their potential for biological applications like drug delivery.

This document investigates three pyrazolo-pyrimidine derivatives (APP, HPP, MPP) as corrosion inhibitors for copper in sulfuric acid solution. Electrochemical measurements, surface analysis techniques, and theoretical calculations were used. The results show that the inhibitors were effective at inhibiting copper corrosion, with inhibition efficiency increasing with concentration. XPS and molecular dynamics simulations helped explain the adsorption and inhibition mechanisms. HPP and MPP were found to be more effective inhibitors than APP.
Cobalt-entrenched N-, O-, and S-tridoped carbons as efficient multifunctional...Pawan Kumar
The document summarizes the synthesis and characterization of a cobalt-entrenched nitrogen-, oxygen-, and sulfur-tridoped carbon catalyst (Co@NOSC) for the base-free selective oxidative esterification of alcohols. The Co@NOSC catalyst was prepared via one-step pyrolysis of carrageenan, urea, and cobalt nitrate, resulting in a cobalt nanoparticle core surrounded by a nitrogen-, oxygen-, and sulfur-rich carbon shell. Characterization showed the catalyst had a cobalt content of 20.89 wt%. The Co@NOSC catalyst achieved excellent conversions (up to 97%) and selectivities (up to 99%) for the base-free oxidative esterification of various al

This document summarizes a study that investigated the surface reactivity and biocompatibility of SiO2–TiO2–CaO–Na2O/SrO bioceramics as a function of structure and incubation time in simulated body fluid. Glass and ceramic samples with varying sodium and strontium concentrations were characterized, incubated in simulated body fluid for up to 30 days, and evaluated for calcium phosphate deposition and changes in surface morphology. Cell culture analysis also assessed the effect on cell viability. The addition of strontium reduced solubility and calcium phosphate precipitation compared to sodium-containing materials. Crystallization also decreased reactivity compared to amorphous structures.
Cobalt-entrenched N-, O-, and S-tridoped carbons as efficient multifunctional...Pawan Kumar
We report the synthesis of sustainable and reusable non-noble transition-metal (cobalt) nanocatalysts
containing N-, O-, and S-tridoped carbon nanotube (Co@NOSC) composites. The expensive and benign
carrageenan served as the source of carbon, oxygen, and sulfur, whereas urea served as the nitrogen
source. The material was prepared via direct mixing of precursors and freeze-drying followed by carbonization
under nitrogen at 900 °C. Co@NOSC catalysts comprising a Co inner core and outer electron-rich
heteroatom-doped carbon shell were thoroughly characterized using various techniques, namely, TEM,
HRTEM, STEM elemental mapping, XPS, BET, and ICP-MS. The utility of the Co@NOSC catalyst was
explored for base-free selective oxidative esterification of alcohols to the corresponding esters under
mild reaction conditions; excellent conversions (up to 97%) and selectivities (up to 99%) were discerned.
Furthermore, the substrate scope was explored for the cross-esterification of benzyl alcohol with longchain
alcohols (up to 98%) and lactonization of diols (up to 68%). The heterogeneous nature and stability
of the catalyst facilitated by its ease of separation for long-term performance and recycling studies
showed that the catalyst was robust and remained active even after six recycling experiments.
EPR measurements were performed to deduce the reaction mechanism in the presence of POBN
(α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone) as a spin-trapping agent, which confirmed the formation of
•CH2OH radicals and H• radicals, wherein the solvent plays an active role in a nonconventional manner.
A plausible mechanism was proposed for the oxidative esterification of alcohols on the basis of EPR
findings. The presence of a cobalt core along with cobalt oxide and the electron-rich N-, O-, and
S-doped carbon shell displayed synergistic effects to afford good to excellent yields of products.

The three MOFs have the formulas [Co(aldrithiol)(pyromellitate)0.5(H2O)2]n (1), [Ni2(aldrithiol)2(pyromellitate)(H2O)2]n·2n(C2H5OH)·11n(H2O) (2), and [Cu(aldrithiol)2(pyromellitate)]n·2n(
This document describes the synthesis and characterization of two new lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using pamoic acid as the organic ligand. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that the MOFs form three-dimensional frameworks with channels of different sizes depending on the lanthanide ion (Gd3+ or Dy3+). Magnetic measurements reveal one MOF acts as a cryogenic magnetic refrigerant while the other shows slow relaxation of magnetization. Adsorption studies show the MOFs selectively uptake CO2 over other gases and have high methanol vapor uptake. Photoluminescence properties indicate the MOFs are also photoluminescent materials.

This document summarizes the synthesis and characterization of two novel phosphonate-based cobalt cages. The first cage (Co15) has an inorganic core shaped like a distorted cubic structure composed of pentagonal faces. The second cage (Co12) has an inorganic core resembling a butterfly shape composed of hexagonal and triangular faces forming a tetrahedral geometry. Magnetic characterization shows both cages exhibit intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions and zero field splitting at low temperatures.
This document describes a study that uses an iron-squarate based 3D metal-organic framework (FeSq-MOF) as a heterogeneous catalyst for transforming tetrazines into oxadiazole derivatives at room temperature. The FeSq-MOF was found to efficiently catalyze the reaction of various tetrazine substrates to their corresponding oxadiazole products in yields ranging from 53-97% within 1-24 hours, depending on the substrate. Testing confirmed the heterogeneous nature of the catalysis and that no iron leaching occurred. The FeSq-MOF could be recycled for multiple reaction cycles with only a moderate decrease in yield after the third cycle. This new catalytic method provides a simple, mild, and
