These drawbacks can be avoided by the replacement of n-TiO2 with microsized-TiO2 (m-TiO2). However, m-TiO2 is less photocatalytically active as compared to n-TiO2 . Therefore, in the present work, surface fluorination of m-TiO2 has been studied to enhance its photocatlytic activity for the formulation of self-cleaning white cement. The commercially available m-TiO2 (average size 40 μm) was surface fluorinated using aqueous solutions of different molar concentrations of NaF (sodium fluoride) such as 10, 50, and 100 mmol dm-3. The surface fluorinated m-TiO2 was analyzed using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to observe the improvement in the physiochemical properties and photocatalytic characteristics. Further, the surface fluorinated m-TiO2 along with calcined dolomite was utilized for the formulation of self-cleaning white cement. The hence prepared self-cleaning cement was cast into cement slabs, which were then characterized by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The self-cleaning ability and photocatalytic activity of the as prepared cement slabs were evaluated through Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation test. It has been found that the use m-TiO2, which was surface fluorinated using 10 mmol dm-3 solution of NaF, remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic performance of the self-cleaning cement.","PeriodicalId":14572,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering-international English Edition","volume":"43 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79964433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the purpose the present research is to study, the effect of Formetanate hydrochloride upon the glycated human hemoglobin (GHb). To form glycated hemoglobin, Hb was incubated with glucose for 35 days under physiological conditions (dark, 37Ċ and pH 7.4). The effect of the toxin on GHb was investigated via docking studies, flurometry, and UV-Vis and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Incubating Hb with glucose could degrade the structure the protein. Samples contained GHb and formetanate hydrochloride showed remarkable changes in structure; Heme-group degradation and an increase in β-sheet structures was also observed. The results of docking studies were consistent with these results. As diabetes is rapidly expanding in today's world and formetanate hydrochloride is widely used in agriculture, the impact of this toxin on these patients will be very important.

By considering the chemical reaction conditions, the experimental data indicate that the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients increase with an enhancement in rotor speed and continuous and dispersed phase flow rates. According to the sensitivity analysis, the rotor speed and flow rate of dispersed phase have more influence on column performance. Also, the continuous flow rate has little effect on volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients. After the steady-state condition was established, the concentration profile for the extraction of molybdenum along the column was obtained.
