Mesoporous TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared in ethanol media by using relatively green, template free sol-gel technique. A mild hydrothermal treatment procedure was employed to tune the pore sizes of the materials. Comprehensive techniques that include powder X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance

Roxarsone (ROX) remains to be as an organoarsenical feed additive used widely in developing countries. However, most of the ROX is excreted unchanged in manure, which could be readily photodegraded into inorganic arsenic derivatives. In this study, the comparative cytotoxicity and arsenic accumulati

OBJECTIVE: This paper studies the kinetics and mechanism of the sensitized photodegradation of 5-sulfaminouracil (SFU). This compound is a synthetic bacteriostatic belonging to the sulfa drugs, usually detected in surface water and effluent wastewater.METHODS: SFU interacts with electronically excit
Photodegraded nifedipine has been shown to increase uptake of nontransferrin bound iron into erythroid cells. If iron could be loaded into keratinocytes, it might be possible to exploit epidermal desquamation for the purpose of ...
