Synthesis and characterisation of selected polyoxometallates and their applications in catalysis
(Makerere University, 2012-10)
Green processing is a central issue in both academia and industry, with regard to
chemical synthesis because without this approach, industrial chemistry is not sustainable. Chemists are proud of their ability to create ...
Organochlorine pesticide residues in Uganda’s honey as a bioindicator of environmental contamination and reproductive health implications to consumers
(Elsevier, 2021)
Honey has multifaceted nutritional and medicinal values; however, its quality is hinged on the floral origin of the nectar. Taking advantage of the large areas that they cover; honeybees are often used as bioindicators of ...
Advances in carbon dioxide and propylene oxide copolymerization to form poly(propylene carbonate) over heterogeneous catalysts
(Elsevier, 2022)
Chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products is an attractive industrial process
because it offers several economic and environmental advantages. This review presents advances and challenges
in ...
Primary validation of Charm II tests for the detection of antimicrobial residues in a range of aquaculture fish
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The study carried out a primary validation of Charm II tests for the detection of antimicrobial residues in aquaculture fish. The validation was performed according to European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and the ...
Synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide catalyzed by talc and other phyllosilicates
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Naturally occurring phyllosilicate minerals such as talc and vermiculite in conjunction with n-tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) co-catalyst were found to be efficient in the coupling of CO2 with epoxides to form cyclic ...
Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen as the oxidant using Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates
(Elsevier, 2021)
We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by ...
Synthesis and characterization of graphene oxide from locally mined graphite flakes and its supercapacitor applications
(Elsevier, 2020)
Graphite is a mineral mined from different parts of the world which including Africa. It can be used or converted into different carbon materials such as exfoliated graphite, graphene, Graphene Oxide (GO), graphene nano ...
Glycerol carbonylation with CO2 to form glycerol carbonate: A review of recent developments and challenges
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
The utilization of CO2 as a feedstock to produce valuable chemical products is an important area of research in the field of sustainable chemistry and climate change. It addresses the challenge of rising CO2 atmospheric ...
