    Abstract: A washing-disinfectant product was synthesized with citric acid which was a readily available raw material on the chemical markets. Following-up the established procedure to use this product reflected its efficiency to eliminate, to remove, to kill and to decrease significantly the binary fission of various germs and micro-organisms not only on raw...

    Abstract: The absorption and remediation power of natural coal (NC) and its contribution to the harvesting of corrosion products (CPs) resulting from electrochemical processes of Fe° oxidation in the reactive zone (RZ) of Fe°/S/Pz/C (Iron/Sand/Pozzolan/Natural Coal) in Fe°-bed filters have now been proven. As a result, an in-depth study of NC varieties (CX) ... Show More

    Abstract: Trisodium citrate C6H5O7Na3 is one of the most widely used synthetic chemicals in the laboratory as raw materials to synthesize some metals-citricacid-oxides and also to control the acidity of certain substances and/or solutions; thus it is rare to find it in stock at suppliers. That was why synthesizing this product in laboratory came suddenly in ... Show More

    Abstract: Chemically activated carbons generated from coconut (CS) and palm kernel (PKS) shells soaked with 1M solution of K2CO3 and NaHCO3 at 1000°C using the Carbolite Muffle Furnace were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Results from the FTIR analyses revealed that the coconut and pa... Show More
