To evaluate the efficacy of biochelators for phytoremediation cadmium (Cd), effects (humic acid, HA; polyaspartic PASP; rhamnolipid, RLs) and synthetic chelator (sodium tripolyphosphate, STPP) on growth, accumulation, antioxidant index Cd were investigated in Iris sibirica L. The results indicated that addition HA increased dry weight leaves stems, PASP, RLs, STPP growth but inhibited stems. de...

This research aims to analyze the impact of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as a rheological modifier concentrated kaolin slurries in seawater at pH 8, which is characteristic copper sulfide processing operations. The dispersion phenomenon was analyzed through chord length measurements using focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) technique, complementing size distributions unweighted and sq...

In this work, the effect of presence of the sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), as an inorganic salt, on improving the performance of polyamide (PA) thin layer membranes has been studied. Characterization analyses confirmed the presence of the salt on the whole surface structure of the thin layer. Different salt loadings resulted in different fluxes and Cu (II) rejections. The thin layer containing...

42-year-old woman experienced an acute asthma attack, seizures, and unconsciousness immediately after a carpet-cleaning and deodorizing job was conducted in her home. Exposure modeling estimates that she was exposed to approximately 3.4-17 mg/m(3) of sodium tripolyphosphate and more than 14 mg/m(3) volatile organic compounds immediately after the cleaning. I derived two separate exposure models...

Venlafaxine controlled drug delivery systems using different matrixes have been tested to reduce undesirable side effects in the treatment of depression. The legal status of chitosan (Cs) in Pharmacy has dramatically improved after its acceptance as excipient in several Pharmacopeias and, therefore, there is great interest in pharmaceutical formulations based on this polymer. In this paper, chi...
