in the present work, the extraction of zinc from a sphalerite concentrate using sodium nitrate as an oxidant in a sulfuric acid solution was investigated. the effective parameters such as the temperature, sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite concentrations, stirring speed, particle size, and solid/liquid (s/l) ratio were analyzed. the dissolution rate increased with increase in the sulfuric acid an...

In this Study, vanadium recovery from the steelmaking converter slag was studied. Salt roasting-basic leaching is the process which was applied to separate and extract vanadium from steel making slag. Ground slag was roasted after mixing with determined quantities of sodium carbonate. The effect of time and temperature of roasting and sodium carbonate content were studied. The optimum temperatu...

To determine whether mineralocorticosteroids and glucocorticosteroids have specific effects on colonic electrolyte transport, we compared the effect of aldosterone and RU 28362, a glucocorticoid receptor-specific agonist that does not bind to the aldosterone receptor, on unidirectional Na, Cl, and K fluxes across isolated mucosa of the rat distal colon. Continuous infusion of aldosterone for 7 ...

The present investigation deals with the formulation of taste masked fast disintegrating tablets of Ciprofloxacin that disintegrate in the oral cavity upon contact with saliva and thereby improve therapeutic efficacy. Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic chemotherapeutic antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class. It is a second-generation fluoroquinolone antibacterial that kills bacteria by interfer...

introduction: in recent years, due to the reduction in surface water, utilization of groundwater has been increased to meet the growing demand of irrigation water. the quality of these water resources is continually changing, due to the geological formations, the amount of utilization, and climatic parameters. in many developing countries, the irrigation water is obtained from poor quality grou...

In this work, the dissolution-absorption studies were conducted on marketed tablets of acyclovir (ACIVIR-200mg) and the mucoadhesive tablets of acyclovir using varying concentration of sodium lauryl sulfate as a permeation enhancer. The purpose of this study was to improve the absorption of acyclovir using sodium lauryl sulfate as permeation enhancer. The everted and perfused intestine model wa...

High water absorption of recycled brick aggregate (RBA) is one of the most discussed parameters in terms of its application in the production of concrete-its influence on the amount of mixing water and, hence, the quality of the concrete, is usually considered negative. In this paper, different methods of decreasing the absorption of RBA and, consequently, the impact on the properties of concre...
