TL;DR: The present work explored the use of Tunisian olive-waste cakes, a by-product of the manufacture process of olive oil in mills, as a potential feedstock for the preparation of activated carbon, and modified the chemical characteristics of the sorbent surface to enhance the adsorption capacity of this carbon for heavy metals.
TL;DR: Radioactivity measurements on the degradation products of known C 14 -labeled compounds have shown a very low cross-contamination between individual carbon positions.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used permanganate as the cathodic electron acceptor for a two-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) and achieved a power density of 115.60 mWmWm−2.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was discovered that olefinic double bonds are readily oxidized in an aqueous solution of periodate which contains only catalytic amounts of permanganate.
Abstract: It was discovered that olefinic double bonds are readily oxidized in an aqueous solution of periodate which contains only catalytic amounts of permanganate. The data suggest that in the effective p...
