The purpose of the present investigation was to test the association between the BANA test (Perioscan, Oral-B), and oral malodor parameters. The subject population consisted of 52 Israeli adults, 43 of whom complained of oral malodor. Oral malodor measurements consisted of peak and steady-state volatile sulphide measurement by a portable sulphide monitor (Interscan Corp., model 1170), as well a...

BACKGROUND Butyrate oxidation within the colonocyte is selectively inhibited by hydrogen sulphide, reproducing the metabolic lesion observed in active ulcerative colitis. AIMS To study generation of hydrogen sulphide by sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and the effects of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in patients with ulcerative colitis in order to identify a role of this noxious agent in path...

Auger analysis was performed using a high resolution scanning auger electron microscope and auger electron spectroscopy. Elemental auger contour maps for corroded sulphide inclusions in stainless steel were presented. It was found that the copper enriched-manganese sulphide inclusions were uniformly corroded, which might be due to CU2S deposition on the surface of corroding inclusions. In contr...

The main activity of the Talvivaara Mining Company Plc. is development and exploitation ofthe deposits in Sotkamo, Finland using bioheapleaching. comprise one largest known sulphide nickel resources Europe with 1004 million tonnes ore, sufficient to support anticipated production for a minimum 45 years. mine started late 2008 will have an annual output approximately 50,000 tons when it reaches ...

Copper zinc tin sulphide (CZTS) has emerged as a highly promising, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly material for solar energy conversion via photovoltaic photocatalysis. This paper presents the synthesis of quasi Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles using hydrothermal route with citric acid structure-directing agent. The CZTS nanoparticles' morphological, structural, optical properties were comp...

The aim of the work was to create a selective gas sensor for hydrogen sulphide. As result adding ammonia zinc acetate solution, centrifuging obtained hydroxide and subsequent calcination, polydisperse oxide powder with grain size 5–50 nm obtained. material characterized using X-ray phase analysis transmission electron microscopy. Subsequently, silver nitrate terpeniol were added nanopowder form...

The opportunities for photovoltaic (PV) solar energy conversion are reviewed in the context of projected world energy demands for the twenty-first century. Conventional single-crystal silicon solar cells are facing increasingly strong competition from thin-film solar cells based primarily on polycrystalline absorber materials, such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenid...

This paper presents a biological method for controlling odor problems caused by H2S originating from sewer networks under anaerobic conditions. The proposed method is based on the continuous addition of nitrate which oxidizes dissolved sulphide according to an autotrophic biological procedure and inhibits further sulphide production by sulphate reducing bacteria, until complete denitrification....

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...
