Design, Synthesis, and in vitro Evaluation of Novel Benz/Imidazole-2-acetonitrile Derivatives as Antibacterial and Antifungal Agents
Abstract: Benzimidazole is a pharmaceutically important compound. In this research, we were able to prepare several heterocyclic derivatives from it by first preparing a new azo derivative ZH through a reaction of 3-aminoacetophenone with benzimidazole-2-acetonitrile. This azo derivative was then introduced via a condensation reaction with aromatic amine derivatives, resulting in the preparation of two Schiff base derivatives Z1 and Z2. From these bases, six and seven membered heterocyclic derivatives were …

Synthesis of Biodiesel from Biowaste/Vegetable Oil by Using Heterogeneous Nano-Catalyst
Abstract: This paper presents preparation of heterogeneous nanocatalyst (NaOH/ZnO-Li2CO3) for biodiesel synthesis from biowaste/vegetable oil by transesterification. Transesterification is an important reaction that produces fatty acid methyl esters which are excellent substitutes for diesel fuel. Biodiesel production by using nanocatalyst is one of important approaches in the biofuel research. The optimization of transesterification reaction is affected by the catalyst type, reaction temperature, reaction time, methanol to biowaste/oil ratio. The analysis of …

Modeling Reaction Rate of Dispersion Coefficient and Oxygen Deficit on Nitrobacteria Transport in Onu-Imo River
Abstract: The migration rate of nitrobacteria in the Onu-Imo River was monitored based on some variables that determine the predictive model for such pollution transport. These parameters were factors applied in developing the derived model for the study. The variables were integrated into the system to monitor their various rates of impact on the transport process in the study environment. This was monitored by applying a one-dimensional flow transport system at …

influence of effluent on soil properties
Abstract: Today India is rapid developing country. Industries are playing a major role in country development. According to environmental concern, the waste products must be treated. But the treatment process is little costly. So to reduce the cost of the investment industries are releasing a lot of refuse which with less treating, which affects the environmental as well as the properties of the soil. The physiochemical parameters such as PH, electrical …
