Different type of catalysts used in the Baylis-Hillman reaction
Abstract: The Baylis-Hillman reaction in the present-day version is an atom-economic carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction between the α-position of the activated alkenes and carbon electrophiles under the influence of a catalyst or catalytic system offering diverse classes of densely functionalized molecules. If the substrate contains both the activated alkene and electrophile components in appropriate positions, there is the possibility of developing an intramolecular version of this reaction leading to the synthesis of …

Several Phases of Binary Liquid Mixture
Abstract: The system’s overall composition, heat, and stress can all be changed independently. Instead of using parameters like the coordinates of a three-dimensional phase diagram, we often generate a twodimensional phase transformation that is either a thermal diagram at a specified pressure or its composition graph at a fixed temperature. The location of the system points on one of these diagrams correlates to a certain heat, stress, and normal phenomenon. As …

THERMODYNAMICS OF HEAVY METALS (Hg2+, Cd2+, Fe2+AND Ni2+) ADSORPTION USING BOILER FLY ASH
Abstract: The effect of temperature on the adsorption of heavy metals, Hg2+, Cd2+, Fe2+ and Ni2+ using unactivated boiler fly ash (an agricultural waste) was investigated. The results showed that Hg2+ and Cd2+ ions were mostly affected by increase in temperature because their sorption rate decreased at high temperature. At the temperature of 273 K and 383 K, the amount of Hg2+ adsorbed (mg/g) by the unactivated boiler fly ash was …
