We investigate the origins of salt damage in sandstones for the two most common salts: sodium chloride and sulfate. The results show that the observed difference in damage between the two salts is directly related to the kinetics of crystallization and the interfacial properties of the salt solutions and crystals with respect to the stone. We show that, for sodium sulfate, the existence of hydr...

The promotion of strengthening of vanadium oxidation by compound additive of sodium salts is described from the changes of the vanadium valence state and mineral phase. The results are as follows: during the roasting process, dehydroxy mica converts to the melt, which the composite system mainly contains Na, K, Al, Si, and O. Under the action of NaCl-Na2CO3, ion exchange between sodium and pota...

Three sodium thiosulfonate salts, NaMeS(2)O(2)·H(2)O, NaPhS(2)O(2) and NaMeC(6)H(4)S(2)O(2) have been prepared by the direct reaction of the sodium sulfinate salts with elemental sulfur, a clean, benign route that produces no by-products. The structures of the phenyl (which crystallised as a hydrate, NaPhS(2)O(2)·1.5H(2)O) and p-tolyl compounds were determined by X-ray crystallography. For the ...

The kinetics of dissolution of dispersions of egg phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) by bile salts was studied by observing the decrease in turbidity as mixed micelles of lecithin and bile salt were formed. The rate of dissolution of lecithin corresponding to the formation of mixed micelles was studied in the presence of dihydroxy bile salts, sodium deoxycholate, sodium chenodeoxycholate, sodium ur...

a simple and efficient one-pot method for the preparation of aromatic iodides has been developed by sequential diazotization–iodination of aromatic amines employing sodium nitrite and sodium iodide in the presence of acidic ionic liquid n-methyl-2-pyrrolidonum hydrosulfate ([h-nmp]hso4). the diazonium salts that are formed by this ionic liquid are stable at room temperature and react rapidly wi...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to assess the inhibitory properties of salts of phenolic acids against Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 8739. Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a pathogen which is able to produce verotoxins provoking hemorrhagic diarrhea in humans. There is a strong need for the effective natural methods eliminating E. coli O157:H7 from food. Methodology. The following salts were te...

A new protocol for the direct two-electron oxidative Umpolung of alkali halide salts is reported. This procedure, relying on the use of a commercially available sulfoxide as the oxidant, allows the electrophilic halogenation of carbonyl compounds as well as halolactonisation reactions to proceed from the corresponding sodium salts, at room temperature and under mild conditions.

Both sodium chloride and sodium sulfate are able to stabilize yeast frataxin, causing an overall increase of its thermodynamic stability curve, with a decrease in the cold denaturation temperature and an increase in the hot denaturation one. The influence of low concentrations of these two salts on yeast frataxin stability can be assessed by the application of a theoretical model based on scale...

ABSTRACT The article assesses the effect of different potassium emulsifying salts concentrations on physicochemical, colorimetric, and texture characteristics processed cheese manufactured using Maasdam. Except for pH, physicochemical parameters remained unchanged, but gradual substitution sodium with potassium-based influenced color texture. Treatments at least 50% showed a reduction 30% sodiu...

1. Strontium absorption was studied in vivo with loops of ileum in rachitic chicks and found to be increased by vitamin D(3), bile salts and sodium lauryl sulphate. 2. Bile salts and sodium lauryl sulphate rendered strontium soluble in butanol-benzene (1:1, v/v). 3. Bile was not concerned in the absorption of iron in rats from its water-soluble form, ferrous sulphate. 4. Ligation of the bile du...
