A procedure is presented for measuring bromide in serum filtrates, after protein has been precipitated with a HCI-tungstate reagent. The bromide in the filtrate isoxidized to bromate with hypochlorite. The resulting bromate reacts with added bromide to release bromine. Bromine reacts with rosaniline to form bromorosaniline, which is measured colorimetrically. The method is specific, sensitive, ...

In cell free extracts of yeast, glycolysis exhibits nonlinear temporal behaviour, in response to the infusion rates of metabolisable sugars. Such bistability in closed systems is difficult. In the closed system, the glycogen induced nonlinear behaviour in cell free extracts of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis are described and the control characteristics are evaluated. In closed chemical systems in...

Ozone is a powerful drinking water disinfectant that is effective in treating chlorine resistant organisms, such as Cryptosporidia. For bottled water, ozonation is generally preferred over other available disinfection treatment methods because it does not leave a taste or residual disinfectant, due to ozone’s short lifetime. However, ozonation of drinking water containing bromide can result in ...

Background: Cardiovascular disease cases are on the increase despite many standard medical practices. Some disorders have been successfully treated by medicinal plants.
 Aim: The current study was designed to assess chemotherapeutic propensity of Parkia biglobosa against potassium bromate-induced cardiotoxicity.
 Methodology: Using a soxhlet extractor with ethanol as solvent, P. extra...

The presence of bromate in water sources generates environmental concern due to its toxicity for humans. Diverse technologies, like membranes, ion exchange, chemical reduction, etc., can be employed treat bromate-polluted but they produce waste that must treated. An alternative these technologies the catalytic reduction bromide using hydrogen as a reducing agent. In this review, we analyze rese...
