A commercially pure titanium sheet precipitated TiC in the surface layer was fabricated by anodic oxidation in NH 4 NO 3 solution and heat treatment in air. The fabricated sheet showed relatively high photocatalytic activity in 0.1 M KI solution, which was close to the activity level of the P-25 particle made by Degussa Corporation. It exhibited photocatalytic activity in antifungal and antivirus tests under black light irradiation. The better photocatalytic activity under black light irradiation is considered to be related to the formation of anatase and rutile type titanium dioxides and rough surface. It also showed photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, which is considered to be attributable to carbon and nitrogen doping in titanium dioxide.

This study of the reaction between dinitrogen trioxide and cinnamyl acetate has indicated that the 3-acetoxy-2-nitro-1-phenyl-1-propylnitrite (IIb) is formed, in addition to 3-acetoxy-1 - nitroso- 2 -nitro - 1 - phenylpropane (IIa), in yield depending on the experimental conditions. Those products have been transformed in good yields into 1, 3-dimethoxy-2-nitro-1-phenylpropane, from which dl-erythro-2-amino-1-(p-nitrophenyl)-l, 3-propanediol has been synthesized.

A commercially pure titanium sheet with titanium carbide (TiC) precipitated in its surface layer was anodized in NH 4 NO 3 aqueous solution and heat treated in air. The photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide powder collected from the surface of the anodized titanium sheet was evaluated under ultra-violet and visible light irradiation. It showed relatively high photocatalytic activity in 0.1 mol/l potassium iodide solution, which was almost equal to the activity level of TiO 2 powder (P-25) manufactured by Degussa Corporation. The better photocatalytic activity under ultra-violet irradiation is considered to be related to the formation of anatase type titanium dioxide. Photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation was also observed, which was considered to be attributable to impurity doping, (carbon), in the titanium dioxide powder.
