background: lead (pb) is a heavy metal that is widely utilized in industries. it contaminates soil and groundwater. its non-biodegradability, severe toxicity, carcinogenicity, ability to accumulate in nature and contaminate groundwater and surface water make this toxic heavy metal extremely dangerous to living beings and the environment. therefore, technical and economic methods of removing pb ...

IF it is granted that the aqueous humour is formed by the active transfer of solutes and solvent from the plasma to the aqueous, it follows that the rates of transfer of the various solvent or solute species and the steady-state composition of the aqueous will depend upon the electrochemical potential difference (P.D.) across its boundaries with the plasma. Alterations of the electrochemical P....

In most treatments of aqueous "solutions" it is taken for granted that water is present in the liquid state and in excess, with the concentrations of solutes limited by their saturation solubilities. Hence, the thermodynamic reference states are defined as the infinitely dilute solution, a solution of unit molality, etc. In recent years supersaturated aqueous solutions have been receiving incre...

the solubility of co2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. in the present work, the modified kent-eisenberg (m-ke), the extended debye-hückel (e-dh) and the pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of co2 in amine aqueous solutions. two explicit equations are presented to evaluate the concentration of h...

background: several compounds obtained from plants have potential insecticidal, growth deterrent or repellent characteristics. the control of hard ticks by non-chemical substances was targeted in this study. methods: the effect of 36 materials on in-vitro ticks was studied, including 2 absolute controls (water only or ab­solute ethyl alcohol only), 6 conventionally used spinosad preparations (a...

Effects of wiping copper-alloyed stainless steel surfaces with disinfectants to remove protein surface contaminants and re-establish their antibacterial activities were quantitatively studied. Disinfectants used were sodium hypochlorite aqueous solutions and ethyl alcohol aqueous solutions. Wiping with NaOCl aqueous solutions effectively removed protein surface contaminants. Ethyl alcohol aqueo...
