The electrokinetic phenomena is also used for decontamination and enhancement of soil–chemical interaction, apart from electro-osmotic consolidation of dewatering. In this paper, an attempt is made to decontaminate the Na contaminated clay using electro-kinetic principle for varying voltage, spacing and number of electrodes. Box type electrokinetic cell was used for this purpose. Results indica...

the removal of disulfide oil (dso) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. the bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. the effects of humidity, time and dso concentration in soil was studied. the experimental results for the bioremediation of dso show, the removal...

The author hereby grants to M.I.T. permission to reproduce and distribute paper and electronic copies of this thesis and3 grant ohers te right to do so , Abstract A common cause of osteoarthritis (OA) is the degradation of the articular cartilage covering the ends of the bones in joints. This study examines the characteristics of the articular cartilage tibial plateau of the Hartley guinea pig ...

Electrokinetic phenomena in micro/nanofluidic channels have attracted considerable attention because precise control of molecular transport in liquids is required to optically and electrically capture the behavior of single molecules. However, the detailed mechanisms of polymer transport influenced by electroosmotic flows and electric fields in micro/nanofluidic channels have not yet been eluci...

Recently, a new type of electrokinetic concentration devices has been developed in a microfluidic chip format, which allows efficient trapping and concentration of biomolecules by utilizing ion concentration polarization near nanofluidic structures. These devices have drawn much attention not only due to their potential application in biomolecule sensing, but also due to the rich scientific con...

The electrophoretic separation of electrically neutral benzodiazepines (BZDs) can be achieved by micellar electrokinetic chromatograpy (MEKC). The cyclodextrin (CD)-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography separation of eight of the most frequently used BZD was obtained within 15 minutes at + 25 kV on a 64.5 cm x 50 μm I.D. silica capillary at 25C, using a 25 mM sodium tetraborate-50 mM ...

Microfluidicsand nanofluidics-based impedance sensors play an important role in identification of toxic industrial chemicals and pathogens in biodetection and biodefense arena. However, their efficient modeling and design continues to be a challenge. This paper presents high-fidelity models to resolve the electrokinetic transport process at the microand nano-scale and capture the critical effec...

1. The effect of human and rabbit sera on the cataphoretic mobility of glass and quartz particles, and of paraffin oil droplets, was studied in serum dilutions (with 0.85 per cent NaCl) from 1:50 to 1:1,000,000, over a pH range of 3.6 to 9.3. 2. Under the conditions described, these various types of particles adsorbed protein partially or completely from the most dilute solution giving these pa...

We discuss the structure of water at hydrophobic interfaces from the standpoint of its impact on electrokinetic phenomena in microfluidic devices fabricated from hydrophobic polymers such as Teflon or Zeonor. Water structuring at hydrophobic interfaces has been described as a source of interfacial charge (see Part 1, this issue), and dewetting phenomena, whether via depletion layers or nanobubb...
