The haemolytic activity of iron-dextran complex is found to be a function of time, temperature, pH, and concentration. The lytic action is enhanced by small amounts of added ferrous sulphate. The lytic action is inhibited by chelating agents such as citrate and sequestrene salts, which bind ionic iron, but not by ferric citrate or ferric sequestrene which do not bind iron. The ionised iron cont...

In this study, chemical transformations of benzyl ester of О-(phenyl-2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside-3-yl)-d-lactoyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine (SPhMDPOBn) on the fumed silica surface were examined, and the surface complex structure was characterized by temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry (TPD-MS), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electrospray ion trap mass spect...

Reduction of ferric iron in the presence of HuTu 80 cells or duodenal microvillus membranes (MVMs) was investigated. With both systems, NADH-dependent reduction of Fe3+/NTA (nitrilotriacetic acid) was demonstrated, using the ferrous iron chelator ferrozine. Uptake of Fe3+ from Fe3+/NTA by HuTu 80 cells was strongly inhibited by addition of ferrozine, indicating that Fe2+ is the substrate for th...

MCM-41-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was sytnhesized by impregnating the mesoporous silica martix with ferric chloride, followed by chemical reduction with NaHB4. The samples were studied with a combination of characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and Mössbauer spectroscopy, N2 adsorption measurements, transmission e...

The design of magnetic nanoparticles by incorporation of iron oxide colloids within gelatine/silica hybrid nanoparticles has been performed for the first time through a nanoemulsion route using the encapsulation of pre-formed magnetite nanocrystals and the in situ precipitation of ferrous/ferric ions. The first method leads to bi-continuous hybrid nanocomposites containing a limited amount of w...

LiBH4 is a promising material for hydrogen storage and as a solid-state electrolyte for Li ion batteries. Confining LiBH4 in porous scaffolds improves its hydrogen desorption kinetics, reversibility, and Li+ conductivity, but little is known about the influence of the chemical nature of the scaffold. Here, quasielastic neutron scattering and calorimetric measurements were used to study support ...

[1] Theoretical geochemical modeling has been used to evaluate the formation conditions of amorphous silica during aqueous alteration of typical Martian igneous rocks at 0 C. The models show that some silica can form during low-temperature alteration of mafic to ultramafic rocks over a large range of pH and water/rock ratios. Silica-dominated deposits, like those found at the Columbia Hills in ...

Polymeric aluminum ferric sulphate(PAFS) was prepared from high-sulfur bauxite flotation tailings and red mud by roasting, acid leaching polymerization. The effects of temperature, time, liquid-solid ratio on the rate Al3+ Fe3+were investigated. optimal conditions are as follows: temperature 100℃, time 90 min, sulfuric concentration 4.5mol/L 5 mg/L. Infrared spectroscopy X-ray diffraction analy...
