Hydrogen Production via Ethanol Decomposition over Bimetallic Catalyst by Ashok, Anchu

“…Ethanol decomposition over bimetallic CuCo were conducted using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) study under N2 flow at different temperatures (50, 100, 200, 300, 400°C). Temperature-time profile of CuCo shows an increase in combustion temperature with increase in fuel ratio with maximum temperature at φ = 1 (stoichiometric ratio) and after that it decreases. …”

Selection of Bacillus spp. with decontamination potential on multiple Fusarium mycotoxins by Zahoor Ul, Hassan

“…Bacillus cereus BC344-2, Bacillus cereus BC399-2, Bacillus simplex BS350-3 and Paenibacillus favisporus PF341, showed significant biodegrading capacity on T-2 toxin, leading to 72, 70, 71 and 88% decontamination, respectively. Complete degradation (100%) of ZEN was observed at a contamination level of 0.375 μg/ml in LB, while showing a decreasing trend of degradation (87 and 84%) at increasing levels of mycotoxins (0.750 and 1.50 μg/ml LB medium, respectively). …”
