Explaining the magnetism of gold

Abstract In the present work, a computational study is performed in order to clarify the possible magnetic nature of gold. For such purpose, gas phase Au2 (zero charge) is modelled, in order to calculate its gas phase formation enthalpy. The calculated values were compared with the experimental value obtained by means of Knudsen effusion mass […]

CFD Modeling for Syngas Production from Natural Gas Using Steam Reforming in Nanocatalyst Microreactors

Abstract Production of syngas as a raw and intermediate material is very important for industries. Despite numerous attempts made in industry, there are still many challenges in its production. One of these challenges is effect of temperature on catalyst deactivation and conversion which has a direct effect on yield of process. Thus, this study tends […]

Purification and Analysis of bioactive compounds from Citrus aurantifiolia Linn stem bark by Gas- Chromatography-Mass spectrometry

Abstract The objectives of this research are to extract the air-dried stem bark (500g) of citrus aurantifolia with methanol using cold infusion (maceration) technique, partition the extract  with solvents of graded polarities (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol suspended in water) and phytochemically screened and fractionate and purify the n-butanol partitioned portion using a combination of column […]

Isolation and Structural Elucidation of 20 hydroxyecdystone from Vitex doniana Sweet Stem bark (Black plum)

Abstract The ethanolic extract of Vitex doniana stem bark (11.9 g) was subjected to a silica gel accelerated column chromatography and eluents fractions (150 ml aliquots) obtained were collected and monitored with thin layer chromatography (TLC). Fractions with similar Rf values from same solvents system were poled together. Phytochemical test of all the fractions were […]

Preparation and Study of A.C. Electrical Properties of (PVA-PVP-CdS) films

Abstract Casting method have been prepared films from composites of Polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVA-PVP) doped with different weight percentages of Cadmium sulfide (CdS).By using LCR meter in the frequency range (100 Hz to 5 MHz) at room temperature  to study the A.C electrical measurement of the films. The effectsof A.C electrical possessionsof PVA-PVP-CdS films […]

Study of AC electrical properties of (PVA-PEG-Sb2O3) Composites

Abstract The aim of this study is investigation of AC electrical properties for (PVA-PEG- Sb2O3) composite material at different frequencies which they ranged from 100Hz -6MHz. The PVA-PEG- Sb2O3 composite prepared using solution casting method. The experimental results have shown that the dielectric constant(ɛ) and dielectric loss (δ) decreases with increasing the frequency, it also […]

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some 3-(N-Arylcarboxamido)-N-benzyl halides

Abstract Some 3-(N-arylcarboxamido)-N-benzylchlorides, bromides and iodides were synthesized by quaternization of N-arylnicotinamides with benzyl halides. N-Arylnicotinamides were obtained by acylation of aniline, 1- and 2-naphthylamines with chloride of nicotinic acid. The synthesized salts were employed in antimicrobial tests against both Gram- negative, Gram-positive bacteria and fungus using the microdilution method. Antimicrobial tests indicated that all […]
