Several nanocomposites based on Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSN), aluminum ions, and Polyethyleneimine (PEI) were synthesized by the combination of sol-gel post-synthesis methods. These mainly composed MSN with leading Al PEI species alone or in combination. The Al-MSN, MSN-PEI, Al-MSN/PEI samples characterized using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, zeta potential, nitrogen physisorption techniques. ...

background: iron, manganese, and aluminum are three abundant metals on earth and their concentrations have increased in aquatic environments as a result of natural and industrial activities. this study was undertaken to report the median acute toxicity (lc50) and accumulation of the sub-lethal concentration (10% 96-h lc50) of iron (fe), manganese (mn) and aluminum (al) in kutum (rutilus kutum) ...

Bauxite residue is a high-iron waste of the alumina industry with significant contents scandium, aluminum, and titanium. This study focuses on recovery Sc, Al, Ti, Si from iron-depleted bauxite (IDBR) into valuable products. Iron depletion was carried out using reduction roasting followed by low-intensity magnetic separation to enrich in Sc reduce an adverse effect iron scandium extraction. Hyd...

The chemical forms (species) of aluminum in blood plasma and brain extracellular fluid are considered, as they are the candidates for brain aluminum uptake and efflux. The blood-brain barrier is the primary site of brain aluminum uptake. The mechanism of brain uptake of aluminum transferrin, long thought to be mediated by transferrin-receptor mediated endocytosis, requires further investigation...

The precursors of Mg-Al hydrotalcite (Mg/Al-LDHs-NO3) were prepared by low saturation coprecipitation method (constant pH method). In addition, alsine-intercalated magnesium-aluminum (LDHs-Ala) was synthesized pH) and nucleation/crystallization isolation methods when the value higher than isoelectric point alanine. release properties alanine intercalated hydrotalc in simulated gastric fluid (hy...

Aluminum toxicity in patients with chronic renal failure has been related to renal osteodystrophy and dialysis encephalopathy (DES). The toxicity is associated with renal osteodystrophy in two ways. One association is the iatrogenic effect of excessive use of aluminum hydroxide gels resulting in hypophosphatemia which interferes with bone mineralization. The second association may involve depos...

Piezoelectric aluminum nitride thin films were deposited on aluminum-molybdenum (AlMo) metallic nanocomposites using reactive DC sputtering at room temperature. The effect of sputtering parameters on film properties was assessed. A comparative study between AlN grown on AlMo and pure aluminum showed an equivalent (002) crystallographic texture. The piezoelectric coefficients were measured to be...

Inorganic phosphate must be transported continuously into the mitochondrial matrix to maintain the steady-state oxidative phosphorylation of ADP. Specific uptake of this anion occurs via at least two distinct transport systems: an electroneutral inorganic phosphate-dicarboxylic acid exchange carrier and an inorganic phosphate-hydroxyl antiporter which catalyses the influx of about 90% of the mi...
