In a previous study of the influence of certain dietary constituents on the response of rats to gossypol ingestion {2) ^ the authors showed that the toxicity of diets containing known amounts of gossypol was materially reduced when the diets were made basic by the addition of calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. When the diets were made acidic by the addition of calcium chloride, only indi...

Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are often examined for hydrogen production using nonsustainable phosphate buffered solutions (PBS), although carbonate buffers have been shown to work in other bioelectrochemical systems with a platinum (Pt) catalyst. Stainless steel (SS) has been shown to be an effective catalyst for hydrogen evolution in MECs, but it has not been tested with carbonate buffe...

Buckmaster has recently investigated the relations of carbon dioxide and haemoglobin. Arguing that venous blood has been shown by Gardner and himself to be capable of taking up and holding much larger quantities of carbon dioxide (nearly double the quantity) than the amount present in normal arterial blood; he concludes that there must be " some vehicle or vehicles for the assumption; of carbon...

During mechanical activation, qualitative changes that can produce various phenomena occur in the material. In this study, anhydrous sodium carbonate was mechanically activated for 2, 7, 14, and 28 minutes a vibro mill at frequency of 3000 oscillations per minute. After four series samples were stored air room conditions 31 days (relaxation period). To monitor kinetics transformation process sa...

Forty-eight water samples (30 groundwater and 18 surface samples) were collected from the study region. Physical chemical examinations performed on to determine values of various variables. Several graphs, sheets, statistical measures, including sodium solubility percentage (SSP), absorption ratio (SAR), Piper’s diagram, used plot concentration principal ions chloride mass balance (CMB). The co...
