    Abstract: The inhibiting effect of dithizone (Diphenylthiocarbazone) has been studied regarding the corrosion of 316 stainless steel in 20% w/w HCl at 35C. The effects of the inhibitor have been demonstrated using weight loss measurements. The increase of the inhibitor concentration leads to a decrease in the corrosion rate. This indicates a good adsorbabil... Show More

    Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic substances which are resistant to environmental degradation due to their high hydrophobic nature. Soil contaminated with PAHs pose potential risks to human and ecological health, therefore concern over their adverse effects have resulted in extensive studies on their removal from contaminated...

    Abstract: In this study, our objective is to synthesize a biobased antioxidant additive for Diesel fuel during the storage. Our choice was made particularly on the olive oil as raw material because of its oleic acid content which is more to 75%. The processes involved were epoxidation of oleic acid of the olive oil, opening of the oxirane ring, and esterific... Show More

    Abstract: A series of three new metal (II) complexes of Schiff base were synthesized from the novel ligand derived from Streptomycin and Amoxicillin in stoichiometric ratio. They were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral techniques like IR, 1H NMR, electronic spectrum and mass spectrum. IR spectral data suggested that the tetradentate ligand has ... Show More
