Abstract:
... Reduction of diselenides using a combination of hydrazine monohydrate and potassium hydroxide (KOH) followed by the treatment of the selenolate ions generated in situ with glycosyl halides under a one-pot, two-step phase transfer reaction condition resulted in the formation of beta-selenoglycosides in excellent yield. In addition, selenium linked disaccharide derivatives with beta-glycosidic linka ...

Abstract:
... A general method is developed for removal of native nonpolar oleate ligands from colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals of varying morphologies and compositions. Ligand stripping occurs by phase transfer into potassium hydroxide solution, yielding stable aqueous dispersions with little nanocrystal aggregation and without significant changes to the nanomaterials’ physical or chemical properties. This m ...

Abstract:
... Simple use of KOH allows the direct F to OH exchange of aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates under mechanochemical conditions. The reaction is performed in the absence of solvent with potassium hydroxide as OH source. As a result, this approach is both more atom economical and environmentally friendly than previously described methods for this transformation. ...

Abstract:
... The synthesis of citronellal, an added-value chemical for perfumery, was performed through selective and green hydrogenation of citral into citronellal in water. Aqueous suspensions of spherical ammonium-capped palladium nanoparticles with sizes around 3 nm selectively reduced the conjugated carbon–carbon double bond. An excellent selectivity up to 97% in citronellal was achieved at complete conve ...

Abstract:
... The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratio can, in principle, be used for provenancing of cement. However, while commercial cements consist of multiple components, no detailed investigation into their individual ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratios or their influence on the integral ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratio of the resulting cement was conducted previously. Therefore, the present study aimed at determining and comparing the c ...

Abstract:
... A rapid flow injection chemiluminescence method is developed to determine mancozeb and maneb fungicides in natural water samples in the range 0.0025–0.25 ppm (R² = 0.9996, n = 6) and 0.01–0.75 ppm (R² = 0.9994, n = 6) with limit of detections of 0.001 and 0.005 ppm (S/N = 3), relative standard deviations of 1.75% and 1.8% and 200 h–¹injection throughputs, respectively. The method is based on diper ...

Abstract:
... Hierarchical, ultrathin, and porous NiMoO₄@CoMoO₄ on Co₃O₄ hollow bones were successfully designed and synthesized by a hydrothermal route from the Co-precursor, followed by a KOH (potassium hydroxide) activation process. The hydrothermally synthesized Co₃O₄ nanowires act as the scaffold for anchoring the NiMoO₄@CoMoO₄ units but also show more compatibility with NiMoO₄, leading to high conductivit ...

Abstract:
... The present study investigated high-yield monoacylglycerol (MAG) synthesis by bacterial lipolytic enzymes in a solvent-free two-phase system. Esterification by monoacylglycerol lipase from Bacillus sp. H-257 (H257) required a high glycerol/fatty acid molar ratio for efficient MAG synthesis. Screening of H257 homologues revealed that carboxylesterase derived from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans, Es ...
... Swelling of cellulose fibers facilitates the fibrillation process by mechanical treatment. In this study, potassium hydroxide (KOH)-urea (KUr) solution was investigated to swell fibers for the production of cellulose filaments. The properties of cellulose fibers following KUr swelling process were evaluated by determining the viscosity, morphology, degree of polymerization, crystallinity, and chem ...

Abstract:
... Humidity sensors have been widely used for humidity monitoring in industry and agriculture fields. However, the rigid structure, nondegradability, and large dimension of traditional humidity sensors significantly restrict their applications in wearable fields. In this study, a flexible, strong, and eco-friendly bacterial cellulose-based humidity sensor (BPS) was fabricated using a two-step method, ...
... Graphite is a critical material for lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes. However, its fabrication using a simple route and sustainable carbon sources still remains a great challenge. In this current work, we fabricate high graphitic carbon from coconut coir waste by combining potassium hydroxide (KOH) and a Ni-based catalyst in a one-pot graphitization process. The graphitic carbon (1200-ANi-KOH) sho ...
... The chorion covering/protecting insect egg, which has some effective functions such as providing mechanical strength, protecting eggs from external environments, and keeping moisture adjustment, is one of the principal barriers to manipulation, cryopreservation, and study of insect embryos. Here we evaluated the silkworm embryo viability after dechorionation using chemical reagents. We have develo ...
... The present work investigated the feasibility of coconut leaflets for synthesizing activated carbon through chemical activation using phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), and potassium hydroxide (KOH). The result showed that the optimum production route with higher iodine number and surface area was achieved through one step for H₃PO₄ and ZnCl₂ whereas two step for KOH activation. The c ...

Abstract:
... The majority of crops can be contaminated by aflatoxins mainly due to the insufficiency of cultivation or storage techniques. Therefore, the possible presence of aflatoxins in edible oil is inevitable which can cause some health problems for consumers. Due to the possible degradation of aflatoxins to the other toxicant compound and its interaction with the food components, it is necessary to study ...
... Research on oligosaccharides, including the complicated product mixtures generated by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), is growing at a rapid pace. LPMOs are gaining major interest, and the ability to efficiently and accurately separate and quantify their native and oxidized products chromatographically is essential in furthering our understanding of these oxidative enzymes. Here we pre ...
... Microplastics are ‘emerging’ contaminants that threatens freshwaters and may have negative impact on the aquatic organisms. However, Botswana has no information on the status of microplastics, including freshwater like the Okavango Delta- the largest, inland wetland hosting wildlife, tourism, and supporting the socio-economic lifestyle of inhabitants. This study assessed the spatial distribution a ...
