Abstract

The present study was devoted to the investigation of adsorption of nitrogen oxides on TiO2, with the focus on the effect of NO x concentration, composition, and flow rate. The inlet NO with a concentration of 200-800 ppm in pure N2 was mixed with ozone, produced from pure oxygen, and directed to a reactor with catalytic TiO2 powder. The oxidation of NO by ozone allowed to prepare mixtures with variable concentrations of NO and NO2 or NO2 and N2O5 which were adsorbed on the catalyst surface during the oxidation phase and were desorbed when only NO was flowing through the reactor. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy studies showed NO3- as the main adsorbed nitrogen oxide specimen on the surface. The amount of adsorbed nitrogen oxide species increased with the increasing fraction of NO2 in the gas phase and was inversely proportional with the gas-phase NO concentration. An important finding was the abrupt increase in the nitrogen oxide adsorption capacity of TiO2 when the inlet concentration of ozone became sufficiently large to oxidize NO x to N2O5. On the basis of the results, a model of the surface processes is proposed, involving the production of NO3 and N2O5 on the surface of TiO2.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
