Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as an alternative for conventional ionic liquids in aluminum batteries. Elucidating DESs composition is fundamental to understand electrodeposition the battery anode. Despite numerous experimental efforts, speciation of these remains elusive. This work shows how ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations can shed light on DESs. For particular exam...

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an important platform molecule in the synthesis of various chemicals and materials. Herein, we reported a simple and effective dehydration of glucose-based carbohydrates to HMF in a biphasic system containing cyclopentyl methyl ether as the organic phase and AlCl3 with minute amounts of HCl as co-catalysts. The results showed that the mixed catalysts had a posit...

Nanotechnology that is vigorously developed nowadays will inevitably let nanoparticles into water resources. Since these ultrasmall particles may have potential risks for human and animals, it is reasonable to consider urgently how to manage these polluted waters. The direct separation would be difficult due to their small size and high surface area, so AlCl3 is added to modify surface physicoc...

Aluminium salts, present in many industrial products of frequent use like antiperspirants, anti-acid drugs, food additives and vaccines, have been incriminated in contributing to the rise in breast cancer incidence in Western societies. However, current experimental evidence supporting this hypothesis is limited. For example, no experimental evidence that aluminium promotes tumorigenesis in cul...

Treatment of male mice (Mus musculus) with sodium fluoride (NaF, 10 mg/kg body weight), alone or in combination with aluminium chloride (AlCl3, 200 mg/kg body weight), was investigated for its effects on gastrocnemius muscle and liver. Recovery after one-month withdrawal of treatment and responses to some antidotes, viz calcium, ascorbic acid, and vitamin E administered alone or in combination ...

Pulp and paper mill effluent is highly polluting and is a subject of great environmental concern. In the present research we studied the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colour from paper mill effluent, using the coagulation process. A batch coagulation study was conducted using various coagulants such as aluminium chloride (AlCl3), polyaluminium chloride (PAC) and copper sulphate (C...

Hairy root cultures of Brugmansia candida (Solanaceae), a South American plant which produces scopolamine and hyoscyamine, were exposed to different elicitors (jasmonic acid (JA) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3)) in order to increase their productivity and/or stimulate their liberation. Hairy roots of 19-day old cultures (exponential phase) were exposed to these elicitors for 24 and 48 hours. The ...

Aluminum is used as a stabilizer and effector in today's vaccine studies. Although aluminum all our lives, it has unsuitable properties terms of chemical properties. Pomegranate notable biological medicinal We aimed to measure biochemical parameters rat serum such electrolyte levels, kidney liver function test, lipid profile analyze the effects pomegranate juice towards AlCl3-induced hepato-nep...

Dense, uniform, and adherent chemically vapor-deposited mullite coatings were deposited on SiC substrates using the AlCl3–SiCl4–H2–CO2 system. Typical coating morphology consisted of a thin interfacial layer of g–Al2O3 nanocrystallites embedded within a vitreous SiO2-based matrix. When a critical Al/Si ratio of 3.2 ± 0.29 was reached within this nanocrystalline layer, mullite crystals nucleated...
