Several types of calorimetric cell designs were used in attempts to measure excess enthalpy during the electrolysis of LiOD/D2O using palladium cathodes. Control experiments were run by using light water in place of D2O or by using platinum cathodes in place of palladium. Initial experiments using thin palladium cathodes of an unknown purity gave no significant differences between the Pd/D2O ce...

An adequate supply of pure water is absolutely essential to human existence. During floods, water is available in adequate quantity, but the quality is often not suitable for drinking or cooking purposes. The goal of the study was to develop an easier, cheaper and faster technique of water purification. Oxygen ions are well known for their high reactivity. An attempt has been made to use oxygen...

CYSTS of the uveal tract have been classified clinically as congenital, parasitic, exudative or degenerative, traumatic implantation, and spontaneous or idiopathic (Duke-Elder, 1940). There is considerable overlap between the last two groups and many cases which one suspects of being traumatic in origin give no history of injury. The tissue forming the cyst in traumatic cases has been implanted...

Textile industry effluents contain reactive dyes that may harm our receiving waters. A typical reactive blue (RB) 19 dye is frequently detected in significant concentrations in textile industry effluents. Such dyes have generally shown resistance to decomposition and tend to persist in the environment for long periods and multiply the impacts to water and environment. Therefore, the present inv...

most of the plutonium isotopes are alpha-emitters, a fact which is of decisive importance from a biological point of view. we shall consider their potential danger to life in general, and to human life in particular. in this respect measurement of plutonium concentration in air and soil and vegetable is the object of systematic tests in numerous countries. this plutonium occurs in the fallout f...

■ This paper offers an overview of the technologies for hydrogen production. The technologies discussed are reforming of natural gas; gasification of coal and biomass; and the splitting of water by water-electrolysis, photo-electrolysis, photo-biological production and hightemperature decomposition. For all hydrogen production processes, there is a need for significant improvement in plant effi...

Hydrogen has been known as a clean and suitable fuel to replace conventional fossil fuels. One of the common hydrogen production methods is using water electrolysis process. This method produces oxygen as well as hydrogen by ratio of 1:2. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of inlet air enrichment by adding produced hydrogen and oxygen to an internal combustion engine. For this p...
