Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Study of Chitosan-Schiff Base Manganese Complex
Abstract: Schiff base is the condensation product formed when a primary amine reacts with a carbonyl compound. The term Schiff base is normally applied to those compounds when they are being used as ligands to form coordination complexes with metal ions. Its formation takes place under acid or base catalysis or with heat. Vanillin Schiff base and Aspartic acid-Salicylaldehyde Schiff bases have been synthesised bycondensation reaction. The synthesized ligands were mixed …

Enhanced Recovery by Hydrotropes in Oxidized Coal Flotation
Abstract: AbstractSo far flotation proved its best in improving the concentration of low grade fines by recovering the maximum with the use of advanced flotation reagents. In this context we propose the process optimization with the use of hydrotropes as activators in the coal flotation process. It is observed that sodium benzoate a known hydrotrope helped in increasing the recovery of the concentrate percent from 12.8% at plant condition to 31% …
