It is well known that aluminium is the principle toxicant killing fish in acidified freshwater systems, and it has been shown that crucian carp (Carassius carassius) can survive exposures to aqueous aluminium levels toxic to most other freshwater fish species. The crucian carp has a remarkable ability to survive anoxic conditions, and the aim of the present study was to reveal if the tolerance ...

An investigation was carried out in an aluminium recovery works after the simultaneous occurrence of haemolytic anaemia in two workers in the slag disposal plant. The first worker was admitted to hospital suffering from nausea, backache, and haematuria. Jaundice developed on the next day. His urine contained protein, urobilin, haemoglobin, and methaemoglobin but no red cells. During the course ...

o-Xylylenebis (triphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate) (1) was easily prepared from an aqueous solution of oxone and o-xylylenebis- (triphenylphosphonium bromide). This Compound (1) is a useful and selective reagent for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions and in the presence...

The application of ionic liquids as environmentally benign reaction solvents for synthesis and catalysis has received extensive recent attention. In this regard we have developed ionic liquids based on the cheap and readily available components choline chloride (ChCl; HOCH2CH2N(Me)3?Cl) and zinc chloride as alternatives to the more commonly employed alkyl imidazolium-aluminium chloride mixtures...

Abstract This research article addresses the pitting corrosion resistance of FGM walls fabricated by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). The wall is created layer-by-layer transfer molten metal in an uninterrupted manner with little heat input using CMT process. Pitting tests were carried out as per ASTM G48-11 standard on specimens extracted from Inconel 825, interfaces, and SS316L regions...

The monomeric aluminium hydrazide H10 C5 NN(AltBu2 )Ad (4; Ad=adamantyl, NC5 H10 =piperidinyl) was obtained in high yield by hydroalumination of the corresponding hydrazone derivative 1. Compound 4 has a strained AlN2 heterocycle formed by a donor-acceptor bond between the β-nitrogen atom of the hydrazide group and the aluminium atom. Opening of this bond resulted in the formation of an activ...

The present study was planned to investigate the ameliorative effects of α-lipoic acid (α-LA) supplementation against aluminium chloride (AlCl3) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The results showed that rats consuming diets with AlCl3 added had poor growth performance, and most serum hematological indexes were significantly altered compared to the control. Biochemical results showed that lipid pe...
