• KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF ALKALINE KMNO4 OXIDATION OF D-SORBITOL AND D-DULCITOL

  Dayo Felix Latona, Adegoke Emmanuel Akinola

  The kinetics and mechanism of alkaline KMnO4 oxidation of D-sorbitol and D-dulcitol were
  investigated in this study. The oxidation reactions of sugar alcohols were studied using potassium permanganate
  in alkaline medium. The kinetics of the reaction were found to be inverse first order

• DETERMINATION OF CO2 CONTENT IN AQUEOUS SAMPLES BY CLOSED SIMPLE DISTILLATION SYSTEM: APPLICATION TO BEVERAGES AVAILABLE IN SAUDI MARKET

  Amir Hussain

  The determination of carbon dioxide (CO2) in aqueous solutions is important for process and
  quality control in industries such as the beverage industry. The currently popular CO2 process analyzer relies
  on Henry's law, which states that the volume of a gas dissolved in a liquid is

• MONITORING NOX AND O3 IN URBAN ATMOSPHERE: A COLORIMETRIC APPROACH IN ILORIN, NIGERIA

  Abdul Raheem A, Obioh I.B, M.O

  This study presents an assessment of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and total oxidants as ozone (O3) over
  the airshed of a typical average tropical equatorial city using a colorimetric approach. The concentrations of NOX
  and O3 were monitored at three urban site classes and a control site using
