CHAPTER 1 TIN OXIDE 1.1 Introduction Tin dioxide, also known by the systematic name tin(IV) oxide and stannic oxide in the older notation, is the inorganic compound with the formula SnO2. The mineral form of SnO2 is called cassiterite, and this is the main ore of tin. With many other names, this oxide of tin is the most important raw material in tin chemistry. This colorless, diamagnetic solid is amphoteric. 1.2 Structure It crystallises with the rutile structure, wherein the tin atoms are six…

dissolved in surfactant followed by moderate temperature for some hours with continuous stirring in alkaline media. This technique is so simple and doesn’t need any keen attention for extra care.[ CO and NO2 Selective Monitoring by ZnO-Based Sensors Nanomaterials, Mokhtar…

I would love to further my education at Carnegie Mellon University and study chemical engineering. Carnegie Mellon’s state of the art facilities, concentration on cutting-edge research, and location inside the jubilant city of Pittsburgh combine to make Carnegie my top choice for my upper level education. Over the last summer, my family and I visited the university. We were blown away with the beauty of all of the buildings and the marvels of the high-tech facilities, in particular the computer…

Mastitis is the most expensive problem facing the dairy industry. Globally, the estimated economic losses due to mastitis reached about 533 billion $ (Ratafia, 1987); the estimated economic loss of milk per cow per one lactation cycle due to mastitis is 70%, while it was 14% due to premature culling, on the other hand it was 7% due to exclusion of the mastitic milk and finally it was 8% due to cost of the veterinary medication, of the total losses reported worldwide (Bardiau et al., 2016;…

Chemical Engineering From all of the engineering fields, I decided to pursue a chemical engineering degree because of its ample area of study. Chemical engineers not only work evaluating and optimizing chemical processes, but also they must analyze production costs and develop reports according to the data they obtain (“Occupation”). As soon as I finished high school, I was interested in studying Chemistry; I wanted to research and experiment. Then, it was when I learned about the engineering…

Salmonella infection in food is the one of the major causes of foodborne illnesses including fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. Thus, early detection of Salmonella contamination is important for our healthy life. Conventional detection methods for the food contamination have limitations in sensitivity and rapidity, thus the early phase detection has been difficult. Herein, we developed a bioelectronic nose using a carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor (FET) functionalized with…

IPPE 1 Reflection My IPPE 1 experience went relatively well. Already having worked in a community pharmacy setting, I knew what to expect and felt that there really was little to gain. Going into the rotation, I was somewhat bitter that I would be losing 3 weeks of my time to work in a setting I already have been working in. By the end of the rotation however, I did end up gaining at least some valuable experience and insight that I did not receive in my previous work experience. In this…

possibilities. Improved tumour-delivery strategies and co-administration with specific modulators of prevalent platin-resistance mechanisms might also provide future clinical benefits. Likewise, the development of innovative delivery systems such as nanomaterials is expected to significantly improve the therapeutic index of platinum-based antitumor drugs in the near…

pressure. Their minimum electrochemical capacity is 6 volts as compared to water which is 1.23 volts. Ionic liquids can act as dispersing agents in paints to enhance finish, appearance and drying properties. Ionic liquids are used for dispersing nanomaterials at IOLITEC. Safety:- Due to their low volatility they are less liable to contaminate environment by releasing, but are aquatically toxic. Synthesis:- The methylimidazolium and pyridinium ions have proven to be good starting points…
