Electrolytic Degradation of Uric Acid Using Nickel Electrodes in an Unpartitioned and Partitioned Batch Cell
Abstract: Electrolytic degradation of an aqueous solution of uric acid (UA) was performed in an unpartitioned and partitioned electrolytic tank using nickel electrodes. The concentration of uric acid was measured using a UV–Visible spectrophotometer, and the effect of operating parameters such as voltage, concentration of uric acid and the supporting electrolyte were investigated. It is found that the concentration of uric acid decreases with time in both the unpartitioned and partitioned …

Sapota Seed Oil
Abstract: The objective of this work was to extract and determine the chemical composition of oil obtained from sapota seed fruits that are grown in India and characterize it. The sapota seed oil was extracted from kernel using different solvents viz., (a) carbon tetra chloride, (b) n-hexane and (c) toluene for eight extractions or stages. Nearly, 20–23% of oil yield was obtained. The oil has acid value – 4.11 to 9.5, …

Influence of CeO2 nanoparticles on the corrosion behavior of electrodeposited Ni coatings
Abstract: Nickel-Ceria (Ni-CeO2) nanocomposite coatings were developed on mild steel (MS) substrate using electrodeposition method. The codeposition of the nanoparticles was achieved from the optimized Ni plating bath loaded with CeO2 nanoparticles (particle size <20 nm). Ni and Ni-CeO2 coatings were achieved at a wide current density (c.d.) range from 1.0 to 5.0 A/dm2 under optimal conditions, and their corrosion protection efficacy was examined in 5% NaCl medium. The material property …

Magneto-electrodeposition of Sn–Ni alloy Coating for Better Corrosion Protection
Abstract: The present paper reports the development of excellent corrosion resistant Sn–Ni alloy coatings from a new pyrophosphate bath by magneto-electrodeposition (MED) approach. First part reports optimization of conditions for deposition of Sn–Ni coatings on mild steel by conventional electrodeposition (ED) method and their characterization. The second part demonstrates how the corrosion resistance of Sn–Ni alloy coatings can be improved drastically by MED method, using same bath. Significant decrease of corrosion …
