Adverse health effects of heavy metals have
been known for a long time but exposure to
heavy metals continues and is even increasing
in some areas Heavy metals have been
used in many different areas for thousands
of years. Construction and application of an
ion-selective electrode as a potentiometric
sensor offers interesting advantage such as
speed, fast response, simplicity, low cost and
wide concentration range. Thiazoles bearing
coordinative sites of sulphur and nitrogen able
to form very stable complexes with metal ions
.This unique property as ligands has fostered
the use of thiazole derivatives towards new
applications in the field of chemical sensors.
In recent years, concerns about greenhouse
gas emissions, global warming and the limits
of the crude oil resources have encouraged
researchers to develop an alternative fuel.
Biodiesel (mono alkyl esters) is a renewable
energy that can be manufactured from
biological material or biomass such as plant or
animal based feedstock. Biodiesel’s physical
properties are similar to those of petroleum
diesel, but it is a cleaner-burning substitute.
Using biodiesel in exchange of petroleum
diesel, especially in older vehicles, can reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Although several
reports are accessible on the production of
biodiesel from vegetable oils, but the production
of biodiesel from microalgae is a newly
emerging eld. The production of biofuel at the
moment is usually by the transesterification
process of triglycerides to methyl esters using
homogeneous basic catalysts. However,
the use of homogenous base catalysts is
problematic since the alkali can produces
large amounts of unwanted soap by-product.
Therefore, it is needed to specifically design
a new nano-metal supported heterogenous
catalysts to overcome these issue. The study
will be helpful in selecting effective catalysts
and economical methods for biodiesel
production using cheap raw materials with less
environmental impact.
