The sonochemical oxidation of As(III) in the presence of peroxydisulfate ion (PDS) has been investigated. Sulfate anion radicals and OH radicals produced during acoustic cavitation readily oxidized As(III) to As(V) in an aqueous environment. The rate of oxidation of As(III)

A novel label free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on the ECL of peroxydisulfate solution for detection of α-1-fetoprotein (AFP) has been developed. For this proposed immunosensor, L-cysteine was firstly electrodeposited on the gold electrode surface, which promoted the electron transfer

Oxidative stress has been suggested as an underlying mechanism of many human diseases. However, definitive evidence for this association has not been presented due to different shortcomings of the methods used to measure biomarkers of oxidative stress. Persulfates are oxidizing

Nontransition metal-catalyzed synthesis of 2-aryl benzothiazoles was achieved through K(2)S(2)O(8)-mediated oxidative condensation of benzothiazoles with aryl aldehydes. The same transformation can also be effected when the aryl aldehydes were replaced with phenylglyoxylic acids.

Several technologies, including pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO), reverse electrodialysis (RED), and capacitive mixing (CapMix), are being developed to recover energy from salinity gradients. Here, we present a new approach to capture salinity gradient energy based on the expansion and contraction properties
