barium sulfate (barite) is one of the widely used weighting materials in the preparation of drilling fluid for deep oil and gas wells. barite is not soluble in the regular solvents; such as, hydrochloric acid (hcl) and other acids. therefore, in this study, we focused on evaluating the dissolution of the industrial barite particles in different chelating agents. chelating agents; such as, dieth...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different mixing techniques on the ph and solubility of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem). methods and materials: five samples were prepared from each biomaterial with different mixing techniques including hand-, amalgamator- or ultrasonic-mixing and were then placed in pre-weighted plastic tubes...

We propose a site-occupying model (SOM) to evaluate hydrogen solubility in metal because there is a discrepancy between the concept of the site-blocking model and experimental fact, as shown in this work. SOM is based on the experimental fact that hydrogen atoms in metal cannot come closer to each other than about 0.21 nm under hydrogen pressure of 1 MPa or less. We evaluate the hydrogen solubi...

The solubility of elemental mercury (Hg') at temperatures between 30 and 210°C was determined by direct sampling of mercury saturated water contained in a fixed volume stainless steel autoclave. The temperature dependence of the solubility was best represented by the equation log,^^, = -11.879 + 0.01206T where xHg is the mole fraction of dissolved Hgo and T is the temperature in degrees Kelvin....

Models that accurately predict solid–solute phase equilibria in aqueous electrolyte solutions are of mounting importance for numerous industrial processes, especially those operating at high temperatures, pressures, and concentrations. The incorporation of such electrolyte models into process simulators is in great demand. This communication will focus on thermodynamically consistent models tha...

The Biotic Ligand Model has been previously developed to explain and predict the effects of water chemistry on the toxicity of copper, silver, and cadmium. In this paper, we describe the development and application of a biotic ligand model for zinc (Zn BLM). The data used in the development of the Zn BLM includes acute zinc LC50 data for several aquatic organisms including rainbow trout, fathea...

The properties of a variety of mouth protectors and sheet materials used to fabricate custom mouth protectors were determined in order to recommend limits for a specification. Hardness, water sorption, water solubility, impact absorption, and tear strength were measured, and limits for these properties were suggested.

Vitamin B1 (C12H67ClN4OS.HCl, molecular weight = 337.33 g mol–1), also called thiamine, has great importance in the food industry in general. Thiamine is a vitamin belonging to the B complex, and can be found in the cuticle of rice, brewer’s yeast, grains, egg yolk, liver, kidney, pork, fish, peanut, walnut, legumes, as well asin green and leafy vegetables. It acts in different parts of the bod...

objective: curcumin, is the active component in turmeric (curcuma long). this agent induces apoptosis via inhibiting various signaling pathways. however, its poor aqueous solubility prevents its widespread application. in this study, dendrosomes with water-solubility, nano-sized dimensions and nontoxic properties, was used for curcumin delivery to cells. materials & methods: in the present...

INTRODUCTION Solubility of root filling materials is heavily influenced by the environment they are in contact with. This study compared the solubility of ProRoot MTA in deionized water and synthetic tissue fluid. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty specimens of prepared MTA were immersed in deionized water and synthetic tissue fluid (20 samples each). The solubility was assessed after 7 and 28 days....
