Ultrasonic Activation Of The Arylation Reaction Of Styrene Catalyzed By Transition Metals, Dhiab Atoui, Khemais Said, Ridha Ben Salem Jan 2017

Ultrasonic Activation Of The Arylation Reaction Of Styrene Catalyzed By Transition Metals, Dhiab Atoui, Khemais Said, Ridha Ben Salem

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The arylation reaction of styrene was tested in the presence of different transition metal-based catalysts, mainly iron-based, given its low cost and its nonpolluting and nontoxic characteristics. The study of the effect of sonochemical activation on the evolution of the selectivity of the reaction is also proposed. Higher efficiency was observed for a very short period of time of just a few minutes. Furthermore, an improvement of the selectivity of the arylation of the external carbon of styrene was observed.


Decolorization Of Reactive Orange 16 Via Ferrate(Vi) Oxidation Assisted By Sonication, Serkan Şahi̇nkaya Jan 2017

Decolorization Of Reactive Orange 16 Via Ferrate(Vi) Oxidation Assisted By Sonication, Serkan Şahi̇nkaya

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The decolorization of azo dye C.I. reactive orange 16 (RO 16) via ferrate(VI) and sono-ferrate(VI) methods, which is the combination of the ferrate(VI) oxidation method with sonication, has been achieved in the present study. The influences of some important operating parameters, which are the initial pH, the concentration of potassium ferrate(VI) (K$_{2}$FeO$_{4})$ and the RO 16 dye, and ultrasonic density (for only the sono-ferrate(VI) method), on the color removal have been investigated. The optimum conditions have been determined as pH = 7 and [K$_{2}$FeO$_{4}$] = 50 mg L$^{-1}$ for the individual ferrate(VI) oxidation method and pH = 7 and [K$_{2}$FeO$_{4}$] …
