The search for bioactive compounds of natural origin, also called phytobiotics, has become a major challenge industrialists, farmers, and scientists alike. Phytobiotics are known their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, immunomodulatory, hypolipidemic, detoxifying, flavoring, digestive-stimulating properties. These beneficial effects phytobiotics depend on the part plant used (b...

Abstract Spent Pot Lining (SPL) cathode pot, waste from the aluminium smelting process needs detoxification cyanides, washing out water-soluble salts and extraction of cryolite (Na 3 AlF 6 ) decomposition products to be recycled. Revealed mechanism with NaOH opens possibilities explore its critical role in reactive process. Common Na + ion hinders solubility product but also drives mass transfe...

The theory of dielectrics brought in by Onsager [1], which takes into account the interaction between molecules and their environment, though applicable to pure polar liquids, is inadequate to justify the behaviour of some liquids whose molecules exhibit associating properties, such as acids, alcohols, amides and cyanides. This inadequacy led Kirk­ wood [2] to hypothesize an orientational corre...

Fe(VI) is an unusual and strongly oxidizing form of iron, which provides a potentially less hazardous water-purifying agent than chlorine. A novel on-line electrochemical Fe(VI) water purification methodology is introduced. Fe(VI) addition had been a barrier to its effective use in water remediation, because solid Fe(VI) salts require complex (costly) syntheses steps and solutions of Fe(VI) dec...
