Reports of aluminium toxicity on kidneys through dietary source is less reported even though it’s adverse effects such as encephalopathy, dementia, osteomalacia and fractures have been reported in renal failure cases after ingestion of aluminium gel. As Majority of Indian population is exposed to aluminium through dietary source, therefore, the effects of alumuinium toxiciy was studied in albin...

This paper is an attempt to examine the current state of art of aluminium chloride electrolysis through a review of all the available published literature and patents so that this could help the formulation of the plans of work for any serious R&D effort to develop the chloride te&nolcgy in this country. Even though the development of technology for aluminium chloride electrolysis is being carr...

OBJECTIVES Aluminium, a neurotoxic agent in humans, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we examined the behavioral and biochemical effects of aluminium in rats with special emphasis on memory centres, namely, hippocampus and frontal cortex. Further, the effect of simvastatin treatment on aluminium intoxication was evaluated. METHODS Rats were...

Dissolving lithium chloride and aluminium chloride in boiling para- or meta-xylene and keeping the colourless solution at room temperature led to crystal growth of a new modification of lithium tetra-chlorido-aluminate, LiAlCl4, which represents a second modification (oP12, Pmn21) of the ternary salt besides the long known monoclinic form [LiAlCl4(mP24, P21/c); Mairesse et al. (1977 ▸). Cryst. ...

A patient presented with granulomatous lung disease associated with the pulmonary deposition of various metallic particles. To evaluate the relation between the metallic dust and the granulomatous process, lymphocyte transformation tests to aluminium sulphate, titanium chloride, beryllium sulphate, and nickel sulphate were performed. A lymphocyte proliferative response to titanium chloride was ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Coagulation is an essential process for the removal of fine particulate matter in water treatment. Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFC) is a composite inorganic polymer of Aluminium and ferric salt. This study was conducted to find out the optimum coagulation conditions for the removal of turbidity, color and organic matter (UV absorbance) in low to mediu...

In order to confine the aqua-eutrophication problem arising from phosphorus pollution, many municipal wastewater treatment plants have to improve their executive drainage standard for total phosphorus (TP). In this study, a municipal wastewater treatment plant employing modified Carrousel oxidation ditch as main biological treatment unit was selected as a representative case. Technical necessit...

coagulants exert a significant influence on removing turbidity, tss and cod. this study has examined the effects of poly-aluminium chloride (pac), aluminium sulphate (alum) and ferric chloride on removal of turbidity, tss, cod from greywater in residential complexes of miners working in decorative stone mines. also, a comparison was undertaken with the electrocoagulation system to find out whet...
