Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a set of synthetic chemicals which contain several carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds have been in production for the past eight decades. PFAS used industrial consumer products including nonstick pans, food packaging, firefighting foams, carpeting. require proper investigations worldwide due to their omnipresence biotic environment resulting pollution drinking water sources. These harmful associated with adverse health effects such as liver damage,...
Selective oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl products using molecular oxygen is achieved over a simple and easily recyclable 1% Pd/MgO impregnated heterogeneous catalyst in presence trifluorotoluene. A variety activated non-activated are effectively oxidized without use any additives under relatively mild reaction conditions. Other supported Pd catalysts such as Pd/Hydrotalcite (HT), Pd/Al2O3, Pd/SiO2 Pd/Zeolite-β also studied for comparison. Pd/HT shows comparable activity...
A major use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is as functional fillers embedded in a solid matrix, such plastics or coatings. Weathering and abrasion the matrix during can lead to environmental releases MWCNTs. Here we focus on protocol identify quantify primary release induced by weathering, assess reproducibility, transferability, sensitivity towards different materials uses. We prepared 132 specimens two polymer-MWCNT composites containing same grade MWCNTs used earlier OECD...
Palladium-catalyzed oxidation of styrene (Wacker reaction) in the presence 1,3-dialkylimidazolium cation based ionic liquids is described under relatively benign conditions using hydrogen peroxide. The effects various reaction parameters and a comparison this approach with corresponding reactions pressurized have been made.
Cu–Ag alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by a novel method and coated over glassy carbon electrode for the detection of carcinogen, 2-butanone.
The antibacterial functionalities of gold–carbon nanoparticles bioconjugated with lysozyme showed little or no damage to healthy human cells.
