CO2 geo-storage in basaltic formations has recently been identi?ed as a viable option to rapidly dispose large quantities of , hence mitigating anthropogenic emissions. However, it shown that basalt is weakly water-wet or intermediate-wet at typical storage conditions, which reduces capillary trapping capacities and increases lateral vertical spreading the plume; these effects increase project ...

The formation of membranes from two systems has been studied. In the system polyurethanedimethylformamide-water, the mechanism for the formation of the sponge-like structure proves to be a liquid-liquid phase separation with nucleation and growth of the diluted phase. This mechanism has been confirmed for the system modified polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene/ o-dichlorobenzene/(methanol-wate...

An automated micromethod for measuring iron concentration in serum employing thioglycollic acid and bathophenantroline sulphonate as reducing agent and chromogen respectively, is described. Measurements are carried out using an AutoAnalyzer (Technicon) and require 0.1 ml of sample. The reproducibility, assessed by the mean coefficient of variation (1.9%), and the mean recovery of iron added to ...

the reported work is on the preparation and characterization of polyvinyl alcohol -g- polyacrylic acid (pva-g-paa)/ polybenzimidazole sulfone (pbis) cation exchange membrane used for the electro dialysis of sodium chloride solution. the polymer syrup has been prepared using the grafting method with the help of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid in the presence of water solvent. the polymer ...

The development of models that predict membrane performance has contributed a better understanding of the basic principles and mechanisms of solute rejection and deposition. It also serves as fundamental properties that allow specific characterization determination. This work fabricates hollow fiber membranes using Polyethersulfone (PES). The membranes were fabricated in-house using phase inver...

A palladium(II) catalyst system has been identified for aerobic dehydrogenation of substituted cyclohexenes to the corresponding arene derivatives. Use of sodium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AMS) as a cocatalyst enhances the product yields. A wide range of functional groups are tolerated in the reactions, and the scope and limitations of the method are described. The catalytic dehydrogenation of ...

Colonic necrosis is known as a rare complication following the administration of Kayexalate (sodium polystryrene sulfonate) in sorbitol. We report a rare case of colonic mucosal necrosis following Kalimate (calcium polystryrene sulfonate), an analogue of Kayexalate without sorbitol in a 34-yr-old man. He had a history of hypertension and uremia. During the management of intracranial hemorrhage,...
