AbstractSeveral photocatalysts, based on titanium dioxide, were synthesized by spark anodization techniques and anodic spark oxidation. Photocatalytic activity was determined by methylene blue oxidation and the catalytic activities of the catalysts were evaluated after 70 hours of reaction. Scanning Electron Microscopy and X Ray Diffraction analysis were used to characterize the catalysts. The photocatalyst prepared with a solution of sulfuric acid and 100 V presented the best performance in terms of oxidation of the dye (62%). The electric potential during the synthesis (10 V, low potential; 100 V, high potential) affected the surface characteristics: under low potential, catalyst presented smooth and homogeneous surfaces with spots (high TiO2 concentration) of amorphous solids; under low potential, catalyst presented porous surfaces with crystalline solids homogeneously distributed.

The work describes a new chemical means of visualising latent fingerprints (fingermarks) using tropolone. Tropolone reacts with amino acids within the fingermark residue to form adducts that absorb UV radiation. These adducts provide useful contrast on highly-fluorescent prous surfaces will illuminated with UV radiation. The conjugated seven-membered ring of the tropolone adduct can be reacted further diazonium salts, which is demonstrated here with formation of two dyes. The methodology is extremely rapid, occurring in minutes with mild heating, and can be applied before ninhydrin in a chemical detection sequence. <br>

Porous Surfaces

Flows and heat transfer over stretching/shrinking and porous surfaces are studied in this paper. Unusual and generalized similarity transformations are used for simplifying governing equations. Current model includes all previous cases of stretched/shrunk flows with thermal effects discussed so far. Moreover, we present three different cases of thermal behavior (i) prescribed surface temperature (ii) Variable/uniform convective heat transfer at plat surface and (iii) prescribed variable/uniform heat flux. Stretching/shrinking velocity Uw(x), porosity [Formula: see text], heat transfer [Formula: see text], heat flux [Formula: see text] and convective heat transfer at surface are axial coordinate dependent. Boundary layer equations and boundary conditions are transformed into nonlinear ODEs by introducing unusual and generalized similarity transformations for the variables. These simplified equations are solved numerically. Final ODEs represent suction/injection, stretching/shrinking, temperature, heat flux, convection effects and specific heat. This current problem encompasses all previous models as special cases which come under the scope of above statement (title). The results of classical models are scoped out as a special case by assigning proper values to the parameters. Numerical result shows that the dual solutions can be found for different possible values of the shrinking parameter. A stability analysis is accomplished and apprehended in order to establish a criterion for determining linearly stable and physically compatible solutions. The significant features and diversity of the modeled equations are scrutinized by recovering the previous problems of fluid flow and heat transfer from a uniformly heated sheet of variable (uniform) thickness with variable (uniform) stretching/shrinking and injection/suction velocities.
