        A method and a system for Single-Stage conversion of magnesium sulphate and potassium chloride to potassium sulphate in aqueous alcoholic solution at 50-85°C were developed. Raw magnesium chloride was a by-product formed in the process. The effects of reaction molar ratio, methanol volume, evaporation, and magnesium chloride content on the purity and the conversion rate of potassium sulphate were studied. The product and by-product were purified and the metal ions contents were determined by Atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results showed that the washing with methanol had a certain impact on the purity and the conversion rate of potassium sulphate. The potassium sulphate reached to the qualified standard, when the molar ratio of 2KCl and MgSO4 was 1:1. The recoveries of potassium sulphate (as final product) and potassium chloride (as raw material)in an aqueous alcoholic solution compound fertilizer were approximately 80% and 12.76%, respectively. Magnesium chloride had a significant influence on the purity and the conversion rate of potassium sulphate. Purities of products throughout can be controlled by using slight circuit adjustments and/or by additional water washes. Manuscript profile

        Ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) and gas chromatography – flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was presented for the extraction and determination of olanzapine in human urine and plasma samples. Chlorobenzene at microliter volume level as an extraction solvent without disperser solvent was used. The main advantages of this method are high speed, high recovery, good repeatability and extraction solvent volume at µL level. The effect of several variables such as type and volume of extraction solvent, ultrasonication time, centrifugation time, salt addition, etc. were evaluated, carefully. In the optimum conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the range of 70-2000 µg L-1 with the detection limit of 20 µg L-1. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for the five replicate measurements of olanzapine was 4.6 %. USAEME combined with GC-FID is a fast, simple and efficient method for the determination of olanzapine in human urine and plasma samples. Manuscript profile

        3 - Corrosion Inhibition of AISI 304 Stainless Steel using Zinc Nitride Coating
        Fatemeh Abdi
        The corrosion behavior of Zn/ (AISI304) annealed at different temperatures with flow of nitrogen gas was investigated in the 3.5%NaCl solution. Crystallography structure of the samples was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The results showed that with incr More
        The corrosion behavior of Zn/ (AISI304) annealed at different temperatures with flow of nitrogen gas was investigated in the 3.5%NaCl solution. Crystallography structure of the samples was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The results showed that with increasing annealing temperature, the intensities of oxide and nitride phases were increased. Surface morphology of the samples was studied using atomic force microscope (AFM) before corrosion tests. AFM results showed that by increasing annealing temperature, grains become greater that may be the result of heat accumulation, causing higher rate of diffusion in the sample. Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Polarization tests were carried out for corrosion resistance investigation of the produced samples. The corrosion results revealed that highest corrosion resistance was achieved for the sample at the highest annealing temperature. For more in depth analysis, the equivalent circuit of samples was obtained, using the EIS data. Finally, the surface of the corroded samples was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

        An efficient three-component one-pot synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes from demedone, aldehydes, in the presence of a catalytic amount of nano-SnO2 is described. The reactions were carried out at 80oC under EtOH-solvent media. The structures of the compounds were characterized by IR,1 H-NMR,13C-NMR, and Mass spectra and by elemental analysis. The advantages of the effective method were good yields, short reaction times, simple work-up, ecofriendly solvent, and inexpensive and reusable catalyst. The catalyst could be recycled and reused for five times without much loss of its activity. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, two major projects have been successfully accomplished: Firstly, we introduced a novel and highly efficient route which was developed for the synthesis of Polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles by using Potassium persulfate. Structure of nano PANI was characterized by FourierTransform Infrared (FT-IR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR) and elemental analysis and the surface morphology of them was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Secondly, new nano-biosensors have been synthesized by using a simple and efficient method, from the reaction of nano PANI with the biocompatible branches, such as alaninemethyl ester and N-(4-aminobenzyl)-9H-purin-6-amine as a nucleobase and succinic anhydride as a spacer. The structures of 6 and 7 were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The interaction between alaninemethylester and nucleobase doped to nano PANI with short oligo phosphate chains of dsDNA (45 base pairs), was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that existence of dopants in the structure of nano PANI increases the interactions with DNA and this caused the decrease in the fluorescence emission intensity. Manuscript profile

        In this research, an efficient synthesis of oxazolam analogues with a number of advantages such as fast and cheap production procedure with great yields was presented. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a more economical and technically more feasible route to synthesis of oxazolam analogues. Aminobenzophenone was acylated to give corresponding amides. The ring forming reaction of amides with the appropriate amino (alcohol or thiol) produced oxazolam analogues with 83-98 % total yield.The structures of synthesized compounds were characterized by recording their IR,1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra.
