__________________________________________________________________________ Given the stringent regulations on Disinfection By-Product (DBP) formation levels (10 μg.L-1 in the case of bromate ions), process modellers are seeking an in-depth understanding of all chemical phenomena occurring during ozonation. This remains an uneasy task since ozone may, directly via molecular reactions involving o...

Oil and gas production from organic-rich shale formations has become viable through advancements in multistage hydraulic fracturing. However, fluctuations oil prices, coupled with the sharp decline after initial days of fracturing operations, drive operators to devise strategies for enhancing hydrocarbon production. The use highly reactive fluids that include strong oxidizing agents, also known...

BACKGROUND Potassium bromate (KBrO3), used in both the food and cosmetics industry, and a drinking water disinfection by-product, is a nephrotoxic compound and rodent carcinogen. To gain insight into the carcinogenic mechanism of action and provide possible biomarkers of KBrO3 exposure, the gene expression in kidneys from chronically exposed male F344 rats was investigated. METHODS Male F344 ...

The development of an antisolvent crystallization process requires the construction accurate phase diagram for this ternary system compound, solvent and antisolvent, preferably as a function temperature. This study gives efficient methodology to systematically determine such diagrams, exemplified with four model compounds: Sodium bromate, DL-Asparagine Monohydrate, Mefenamic acid Lovastatin. Us...
