Correlations between raw water characteristics and pH after enhanced coagulation to maximize dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal using four typical coagulants (FeCl3, Al2(SO4)3, polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and high performance polyaluminum chloride (HPAC)) without pH control were investigated. These correlations were analyzed on the basis of the raw water quality and the chemical and physic...

In recent decades, the use of self-consolidating concrete has become widespread. Hence, recognizing the various properties of self-consolidating concrete are essential. In this study, several mixture designs have been tested and final mixture design of crushed tile aggregates which were replaced by 0%, 25 %, 50%, and 100% volume percentage of natural aggregates were conducted. To evaluate fresh...

1. It is shown that when part of the gelatin in a solution of gelatin chloride is replaced by particles of powdered gelatin (without change of pH) the membrane potential of the solution is influenced comparatively little. 2. A measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration of the gelatin chloride solution and the outside aqueous solution with which the gelatin solution is in osmotic equilibrium,...

This research investigated the effects of using a substandard fly ash as partial cement and/or fine aggregate replacement on basic and durability properties cement-fly mixtures. Experimental results showed that utilizing led to increase in water requirement autoclave expansion pastes. The strength activity indexes passed requirements TIS 2135 ASTM C618. Utilization higher mortar bars stored sod...

Corrosion induced by chloride ions becomes a critical issue for many reinforced concrete structures. The chloride ingress into concrete has been usually simplified as a di↵usion problem where the chloride concentration throughout concrete is estimated analytically. However, this simplified approach has several limitations. For instance, it does not consider chloride ingress by convection which ...

1. Purified citrate-extracted ichthyocol obtained from carp swim bladders has been further characterized with respect to its content of certain amino acids and carbohydrate substances. 2. The degree of solubilization or dispersion of ichthyocol by solutions of certain salts maintained in the range of neutral pH and at a temperature of 0-2 degrees C. has been determined. 3. While a number of sal...

The objective of this study was to prepare hyoscine butylbromide (a drug with bitter taste) tablets that can rapidly disintegrate in saliva. The granules were prepared by the extrusion method using aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymers (Eudragit E-100). The drugs dissolved rapidly in medium at pH 1.2 in a dissolution test while none of the drugs dissolved from the granules (% of dissolved < 5%) ev...

The aim of this study was to prepare, using taste-masked granules, tablets which can rapidly disintegrate in saliva (rapidly disintegrating tablet), of drugs with bitter taste (pirenzepine HCl or oxybutynin HCl). The taste-masked granules were prepared using aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymers (Eudragit E-100) by the extrusion method. None of the drugs dissolved from the granules (% of dissolved...

The zooplankton community structure in Eğirdir Lake (Isparta-Turkey) was studied monthly throughout an annual cycle (January 2010-December 2010). The zooplankton community was represented by three main groups: Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda, respectively comprised 89.62%, 7.78% and 2.60% of the total zooplankton abundance. Eğirdir Lake was dominated by the rotifera Polyarthra dolichoptera in ...

Engineering uses the chloride ion diffusion coefficient as the durability of concrete quality control indicators under the marine environment, due to the chloride ion diffusion coefficient and the electrical resistivity of concrete parameters are reflected in the concrete pore structure, and resistivity testing is convenient, fast advantages, the resistivity alternative chloride ion diffusion c...
