A three-dimensional, porous electrode composed of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) has been examined for the selective removal of metals by electrodeposition from single and multi-component solutions. A three-stage system was envisioned where each metal from a ternary mixture could be selectively removed in each stage. Single and multi-component solutions of copper, nickel, zinc and silver wer...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the degree of synergism of sweet taste among ternary mixtures of 14 sweeteners. A trained panel evaluated ternary mixtures of 14 sweeteners varying in chemical structure and type. The ternary mixtures that were tested were limited to those in which the compounds comprising the mixture were synergistic in binary combinations, according to an earl...

mechanical alloying of binary and ternary elemental powder mixtures with the nominal compositions of mg2ni and mg(2-x)mnxni (x= 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 at. %) were carried out in a planetary ball mill for various milling times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 h. x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the milled products...

Our present work focuses on the coupling between thermal diffusion and convection in order to improve the thermal gravitational separation of mixture components. The separation phenomenon was studied in a porous medium contained in vertical columns. We performed analytical and numerical simulations to corroborate the experimental measurements of the thermal diffusion coefficients of ternary mix...

The phase-separation dynamics of a ternary mixture ~A, B and C! coupled with a reversible chemical reaction between the two constituents A and B is presented. It is demonstrated that the free-energy functional form of time-dependent-Ginzburg-Landau equation describing the phase-separation dynamics of the ternary mixture coupled with a reversible chemical reaction is similar to that of the mixtu...

A capillary chromatography system has been developed based on the tube radial distribution of the carrier solvents using an open capillary tube and a water-acetonitrile-ethyl acetate mixture carrier solution. This tube radial distribution chromatography (TRDC) system works under laminar flow conditions. In this study, a phase diagram for the ternary mixture carrier solvents of water, acetonitri...

clarithromycin (cla), a broad-spectrum macrolide, is a poorly soluble drug with dissolution rate limited absorption. the aim of this investigation was to prepare cla nanoparticles from a ternary ground mixture in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate (sls) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) as co-grinding water-soluble compounds, in order to improve the drug dissolution rate. different weight rati...

Metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) are the most widely used engineered nanomaterials. The individual toxicities of metal-based NPs have been plentifully studied. However, the mixture toxicity of multiple NP systems (n ≥ 3) remains much less understood. Herein, the toxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), silicon dioxide (SiO₂) NPs and zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) NPs to unicellular fre...

Mixture toxicity of similar- and dissimilar-acting toxicants can be predicted by the models concentration addition (CA) and independent action (IA) using single substance toxicity data. Knowledge of the toxicants mode of action is thus required in order to use the models. In order to test the predictive capability of the models, we conducted Daphnia magna 48 h immobilization experiments with th...
