AbstractThe results of the laboratory pot experiments on soil mercury (Hg) immobilisation with a non-toxic and price-reasonable agent — colloidal sulphur (S) water suspension, are presented. It was shown that fertilisation with small agrochemical doses of colloidal S reduces excess Hg effectively as follows: in interstitial waters by a factor 2 – 12 times for total Hg, and 22– 680 times for “reactive” Hg; in stems and leaves of oats – 7 – 22 times; and in moss bags, reflecting soil Hg degassing, 7 – 15 times, for the most heavily Hg-spiked soils. The results obtained allowed to conclude that the immobilization of Hg occurs through Hg binding to the newly formed S-bearing functional groups in humic acids and/or sulphides.

This experiment was conducted to extract sub-bituminous coals for obtaining humic substances by using 10 kinds of extract solutions.  The best and effective solution was investigated and also the characteristics of humic substances soluble in those solution.  Complete Randomize Design was used to find out the effect of treatments.  Two types of coals were taken from Pasaman and Sawahlunto and the ten kinds of extract solutions were 0.1 N NaOH, 0.5 N NaOH, 0.1 M Na2CO3, 0.5 Na2CO3, 0.1 N HCl, 0.1 M Formic Acid, 0.1 M Oxalic Acid, 0.025 N HF, Ethanol 70 %, and Ethanol 90 %.  Results of this laboratory experiment showed that all ten extraction solutions had the ability to extract humic substances but in different amount.  The best solution that could be used effectively was 0.5 N NaOH.  This solution could extract 31.5 % of humic substances from Pasaman Sub-bituminous coals, but only 15.4 % could be extracted from that of Sawahlunto.  Infra Red Spectrometer was also used to identify the characteristics of functional groups appear on those humic substances extracted.Key Words: humic acid, coal

We evaluated Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf) to remedy oxisol contaminated with Hg2 + potential. The study was conducted in a controlled environment in pots with soil contaminated with HgCl2 solution, in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments: control (without Hg2+) and treatments with 5, 24 and 36 mg Hg2+ kg-1 of soil and 5 replicates / treatment. The quantification of total Hg in plant and soil samples was performed by atomic absorption spectrometry. Kenaf grown in contaminated pots did not show visual symptoms of toxicity. Plant height did not differ among treatments, but the dry shoot phytomass was 21.65% higher in control than the average of treatments with Hg. Treatment with 24 mg kg-1 showed dry root phytomass greater than control and the others. In general, oxisol was responsible for retaining greater amount of Hg than plants. Hg accumulated in greater proportion in roots than in shoots. In pots that received 36 mg kg-1, plants accumulated average of 2.57 mg kg-1 of Hg / pot, differing from the other treatments and the Hg transfer factor (TF) in plants was also calculated as the ratio of the concentration in shoots and in roots. The values were as follows: 3.11 for T1, 1.26 for T2, 0.05 for T3 and 0.02 for T4. Treatments showed no difference between T3 and T4 and TF decreased with increasing Hg dose. It could be concluded that Hg was more adsorbed by oxisol than by plants. Plants showed resistance to different soil Hg concentrations and can be considered as potential Hg2+ stabilizer

Scaffolds is three dimensional structure that serves as a framework for bone growth. Natural materials are often used in synthesis of bone tissue engineering scaffolds with respect to compliance with the content of the human body. Among the materials used to make scafffold was hydroxyapatite, alginate and chitosan. Hydroxyapatite powder obtained by mixing phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide, alginate powders extracted from brown algae and chitosan powder acetylated from crab. The purpose of this study was to examine the functional groups of hydroxyapatite, alginate and chitosan. The method used in this study was laboratory experimental using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for hydroxyapatite, alginate and chitosan powders. The results indicated the presence of functional groups PO43-, O-H and CO32- in hydroxyapatite. In alginate there were O-H, C=O, COOH and C-O-C functional groups, whereas in chitosan there were O-H, N-H, C=O, C-N, and C-O-C. It was concluded that the third material containing functional groups as found in humans that correspond to the scaffolds material in bone tissue engineering.

ABSTRACTA Fluorocarbon resin surface was selectively modified by irradiation with a ArF laser beam through a thin layer of NaAlO2, B(OH)3, or H2O solution to give a hydrophilic property. As a result, with low fluence, the surface was most effectively modified with the NaAlO2 solution among the three solutions. However, the contact angle in this case changed by 10 degrees as the fluence changed only 1mJ/cm2. When modifying a large area of the surface, high resolution displacement could not be achieved because the laser beam was not uniform in displacing functional groups. Thus, the laser fluence was successfully made uniform by homogenizing the laser beam; the functional groups were replaced on the fluorocarbon resin surface with high resolution, which was successfully modified to be hydrophilic by distributing the laser fluence uniformly.

In this article, we report a photocatalytic protocol for the isomerization of 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanols to linear ketones. The reaction proceeds <i>via</i> radical intermediates and tolerates various functional groups.

The first iron-catalyzed three-component cross-coupling of unactivated olefins with alkyl halides and Grignard reagents is reported. The reaction operates under fast turnover frequency and tolerates a diverse range of sp2-hybridized nucleophiles, alkyl halides, and unactivated olefins bearing diverse functional groups to yield the desired 1,2-alkylarylated products with high regiocontrol. Further, we demonstrate that this protocol is amenable for the synthesis of new (hetero)carbocycles including tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines via a three-component radical cascade cyclization/arylation that forges three new C-C bonds.
