thallium is widely found in nature, but the only inorganic stones full of this element are crookesite and lorandit. it isalso found in pyrites of copper, lead and inorganic stones. the element and its compositions are toxic and harmful to theenvironment; therefore, its application requires caution and further research. it is important to develop sensitive andaccurate analytical methods to deter...

large capacity cylindrical tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. their satisfactoryperformance during earthquake is crucial for modern facilities. in present paper, the behavior of cylindricalconcrete tanks under harmonic excitation is studied using the finite element method. liquid sloshing, liquidviscosity and wall flexibility are considered and additionally excitation frequency, liqu...

in this study, porous scaffolds from poly(d,l-lactic acid) have been prepared via liquid- liquid phase separation method in ternary system of polymer-1,4-dioxane-water. polymer dissolved in dioxane in 1.5, 2.5 and 5 % wt/v and the solvent/non-solvent ratios were 13/87, 15/85 and 17/83. cloud point curves prepared by visual turbidometry. in order to obtain porous scaffolds with inter-connected p...

objective(s): dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction coupled with gas chromatography (gc)-flame ionization detector was developed for the determination of valproic acid (vpa) in human plasma. materials and methods: using a syringe, a mixture of suitable extraction solvent (40 µl chloroform) and disperser (1 ml acetone) was quickly added to 10 ml of diluted plasma sample containing vpa (ph, 1.0...

Applications, features, and mechanistic details of laser assisted liquid phase dispersion mass spectrometry are highlighted and discussed. It has been used in the past to directly isolate charged molecular aggregates from the liquid phase and to determine their molecular weight employing sensitive time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The liquid matrix in this MALDI (matrix assisted laser desorptio...

It is possible to suppress convection and dispersion of a paramagnetic liquid by means of a magnetic field. A tube of paramagnetic liquid can be stabilized in water along a ferromagnetic track in a vertical magnetic field, but not in a horizontal field. Conversely, an "antitube" of water can be stabilized in a paramagnetic liquid along the same track in a transverse horizontal field, but not in...

Bubble columns (with and without suspended solids) have been used widely as chemical reactors, bioreactors and equipment for waste water treatment. The key design parameters in bubble columns are: • gas holdup; • gas-liquid interfacial area; • volumetric liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient; • gas and liquid axial dispersion coefficients; Despite the large amount of studies devoted to hydrody...

The factors influencing negative wavelength dispersion are investigated for a series of benzodithiophene based photopolymerisable liquid crystals.

membrane assisted liquid extraction(male) technologies are gaining an important role as an extraction /separation technique for actinides and are being deployed as a  promising tool for remediation of nuclear waste generated in the reprocessing plant and other radioactive wastes containing a trace level of radionuclides. the present contribution outlines the classification of membrane assisted ...

in this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. the effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the height o...
