Spectrophotometric analysis of Hymenopterasphecidaenests was performed using XRF, XRD and FTIR spectroscopy. XRF data revealed the presence of SiO2, and Al2O3in appreciable quantities, while Fe2O3, CaO and MgO were in minor quantities. Na2O and K2O were however found to bepresent in trace amounts. Infrared spectral analysis showed that the sample is a composite of quartz, feldspar, kaolinite andmontmorillonite. The dominant presence of quartz was further confirmed by PXRD which also revealed the presence ofhalloysites.<#LINE#> @ @ HunteraJ.M., Insect clay geography in Sierra Leone,Journal of Cultural Geography, 4(2), 13 (1984) @No $ @ @ University of Pretoria publication, http.//www.University ofPretoria pubs.com, Retrieved February 16th 2011 (2011) @No $ @ @ Okparaeke O.C., Agha I.I. and Ejikeme P.M., Removal of Cu(II) and Hg(II)ionsfrom simulated waste water by adsorption on tounactivated/activated carbon from Brachtystagea Eurycoma seed pods, Intraparticulate diffusivitysorption studies, Jour.Chem.

To reduce the toxic nature of Zn2+ has to add other agents like Sodium Tungstate (ST). DTPMP is environment- friendly, non-toxic and non-polluting agent is used to control the rate of corrosion. Here, the corrosion control of carbon steel in 60 ppm Cl was investigated by Weight-loss study, electrochemical measurements and surface examination studies. The corrosion Inhibition Efficiency (IE) offered by 25 ppm of DTPMP, 25 ppm of ST, 10 ppm of Zn2+ was 92 %. The synergistic behaviour of inhibiting action was also calculated. Electrochemical Impedance spectra indicates that surface film formed on the carbon steel shows that high charge transfer resistance and low Double layer capacitance, which suggests the film, is non-porous and protective. Potentiodynamic polarization study shows that the system works as an cathodic inhibitor. The FT-IR spectra reveals that the protective film consists of Fe2+ - DTPMP complex, Fe2+ - ST complex and Zn(OH) formation. <#LINE#> @ @ Xu Q.J, Zhou G.D., Wang H.F. and Cai W.B., Electrochemical Studies of Polyaspartic Acid and Sodium Tungstate as Corrosion Inhibitors for Brass and Cu30Ni Alloy in Simulated Cooled Water Solutions, Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, 53, 207–211 (2006) @No $ @ @ Abdallah M., El-Etre A.Y., Soliman M.G. and Mabrouk E.M., Some Organic and Inorganic Compounds as Inhibitors for Carbon Steel Corrosion in 3.5 Percent NaCl Solution, Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, 53, 118–123 (2006) @No $ @ @ Amin M.A., Hassan H.H. and Abd El Rehim S.S., On the Role of NO - Ions in Passivity Breakdown of Zn in Deaerated Neutral Sodium Nitrite Solutions and the Effect of Some Inorganic Inhibitors, Potentiodynamic Polarization, Cyclic Voltammetry, SEM and EDX Studies, Electrochimica Acta, 53, 2600–2609 (2008) @No $ @ @ Negishi A., Muraoka T., Maeda T., Takeuchi F., Kanao T., Kamimura K. and Sugio T., Growth Inhibition by Tungsten in the Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacterium Acidithiobacillus Thiooxidans, Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 69, 2073–2080 (2005) @No $ @ @ Srivastava K. and Srivastava P., Studies on Plant Materials as Corrosion Inhibitors, Br Corrrs J, 16, 221 (1981) @No $ @ @ Agnesia Kanimozhi S. and Rajendran S., Inhibitive Properties of Sodium Tungstate-Zn2+ System and Its Synergism with HEDP, Inter.

Coupling reaction of cardanol affording high yield in slightly acidic media was observed. All the dyes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultra violet - visible spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The electrochemical behavior of these cardanol based azo dyes has been investigated by cyclic voltammetric technique by using sulfuric acid as supporting electrolyte. In addition, the effect of scan rate on dyes (2a – 2j) showed irreversible one step two electron diffusion controlled reduction process. The peak potential was found to shift in the cathodic direction with increase in scan rate indicating the irreversible nature of the electrode reaction. <#LINE#> @ @ Swain J.R., Biswal S.K., Lenka S., Polymer from renewable resources: Studies on synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of resins derived from diazotized cardanol-formaldehyde-organic compounds, Polym.

The simulation of the data obtained from these methods, by nonlinear fitting procedure allowed us to determine the rate constants of the Volmer, Heyrovsky and Tafel steps associated with the hydrogen evolution reaction. The kinetics results indicate that HER mechanism at low negative potentials is a serial combination of Volmer and parallel Tafel and Heyrovsky steps. At high negative potentials where the hydrogen coverage reaches its limiting value, a Tafel line with the slope of -116 mV dec-1 is obtained. In this potential hydrogen evolution follows the Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism while the Tafel step has negligible contribution. Open circuit potential for Hg at different charging currents show that the higher charging cathodic current, the longer time is required to reach the equilibrium potential. <#LINE#> @ @ Kim H.K., Yang D.C., Jang I.S., Park C.N., Park C.J. and Choi J., Effects of pretreatment of LM-Ni3.9Co0.6Mn0.3Al0.2 alloy powders in a KOH/NaBH4 solution on the electrode characteristics and inner pressure of nickel-metal-hydride secondary batteries, Int.

The immobilized urease detected a shift in its optimum pH from 7.5 to 7.0 in Tris/acetate buffer. The optimim temperature also shifted from 47 to 67 degrees compared with the soluble enzyme. Alginate-immobilized pigeonpea urease had a higher Km (10.5 mM) than that of the soluble enzyme (7.3 mM).

The optimized equilibrium geometries obtained at the DFT/B3LYP level using the 6-31G(d,p) basis set show that stable compounds Na(NH3)4 and Na(NH3)5 may result with respective dissociation energies of 42.5 and 48.0 kcal.mol-1 relative to their fragments Na and NH3. Upon addition of diffuse functions on Na and N, one gets 33.2 kcal.mol-1 for Na(NH3)4. The nature of the interactions was studied by NBO analysis through calculation of the second order perturbation energy. This showed that the most stabilizing interactions involve the donation of charge from the lone pairs of the ligands to Rydberg orbitals of Na and back-donation of charge from the singly occupied orbital of Na to the Rydberg orbitals of N and H and to the s*N-H. An occupation of the s*N-H and of the Rydberg orbitals of N and H by the odd electron of Na is therefore observed, which places its electron density near the positions of these nuclei. The calculated small Wiberg bond indices and the van der Waals penetration distance are in accord with a non-covalent type of interactions of the kind Lewis acid-Lewis base. <#LINE#> @ @ Weyl W., Ueber Metallamonium-Verbindugen, Ann.

Dyes were readily obtained in 65-85 % yield in very pure form. The structures of newly prepared dyes were confirmed from FT-IR, 1H-NMR, LC-MS, UV-Vis spectroscopic technique. The UVVisible spectras of new mono azo dyes in suitable solvent was investigated in terms of structural property relationship. The dyeing assessment of all the dyes was evaluated on various fabrics. The results revealed that a better hue is obtained on cotton mordant fibres. The prepared azo dyes were tested as an indicator for different types of titrations. It was found that some of the dyes are very good indicators for acid – base titrations, giving a very sharp and distinct end point. Antimicrobial evaluation revealed that the dyes show good antibacterial activity. <#LINE#> @ @ Robinson T., McMullan G. and Marchant R., Nigam., Remediation of dyes in textile effluent, Bioresource Tech., (7), 247-255 (2001) @No $ @ @ Cooper P., Color in dye house effluent.

Black Carbon concentration was also monitored for the same duration using AE 31 Magee Scientific Aethalometer. The chemical analysis shows dominating concentration of silicon in all the samples followed by Na+ , Fe, SO4 2-, Ca2+, NH4 + and Cl-with common radicals NO3 - ,NO2 - , K+ , Mg2+ and metals Ni, Pb, Al, Ag, Ti, V, Mn, Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn. Only four samples out of all the analyzed samples has shown the presence of F. PM10 with 105.16µg/m3 was the highest value of particulate matter while black carbon for the same duration was 12.97 µg/m3 .The variation of particulate matters for the observed period was from 105.16 - 56.47µg/m3 and that for black carbon 21.8 - 4.7µg/m3 . The present observation shows that major contributor in the particulate matter are derived from roadsuspension, vehicular emission and domestic activities. Irrespective to the nature of particulate matters of different aerodynamic diameter analyzed most of the ionic and metallic components are common in all the analyzed samples reflecting their common impact on human health. <#LINE#> @ @ Sharma M. and Maloo S., Assessment of ambient air PM10 and PM2.5 and characterization of PM10 in the city of Kanpur., India, Atmos.

However, assistance of microwave irradiation for synsthesis of schiff base is introduced now a day. In the present study microwave promoted condensation reaction of salicylaldehyde and p-amino phenol are displayed. The method was also compared with conventional method for determination of production efficiency and production economic. Characterization of these Schiff base were done by TLC and IR spectra. From the study, it was concluded that the microwave irradiation method is very rapid, reliable and economic method for production of schiff base.<#LINE#> @ @ Ashraf M.A., Mahmood K., Wajid A., Maah M.J. and Yusoff I., Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Activity of Schiff Bases, International Conference on Chemistry adn Chemical Process, 10, 1-7 (2011) @No $ @ @ Bader N.R., Applications of Schiff’S Bases Chelates in Quantitative Analysis : A Review Nabil Ramadan Bader.
