An improved electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric method for determination of aluminum in serum is described. An ammonium hydroxide/sulfuric acid diluent is used to control matrix effects from serum constituents. Because serum produces no apparent matrix effects with this diluent, one can accurately calibrate the procedure with aqueous standards.

Polymer electrolyte films, comprising ammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate salt and butyl-trimethyl ammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid immobilized in poly (ethyl methacrylate) was studied. Structural, morphological, thermal and electrical properties of the polymer electrolyte films were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and imped...

Abstract Four variants of the thermochemical modification were conducted on beech wood at a temperature 130 °C, employing NH 4 OH concentrations 5% or 10% for durations either 12 24 h. The weight% gain (WPG) and bulking coefficient (BC) initially calculated. Subsequently, wood’s degree discoloration was assessed using CIELAB-colour-system. Chemical structure alterations determined through Fouri...

The carbon dots were prepared by the microwave method, and then TiO2 doped with was successfully synthesized hydrothermal method. Its structure investigated using TEM, XRD XPS. catalyst applied to degradation of lignin base solution (50 mg in 30 mL sodium hydroxide pH = 12) under ultraviolet light. It found that when mass ratio point 1.5:1, dosage 0.75 g/L, time 6 h, rate could reach more than ...

Despite the huge and increasing application of high solids content polymer colloids for coating application, there are few challenges that still limit their full potential. The most emerging one is use surfactants colloidal stabilization affects negatively performance. Moreover, due to particulate nature, waterborne dispersions presents lower mechanical performance with respect solvent-based co...

The most promising technologies to remove perchlorate from water are ion exchange and biological reduction. Although successful, ion exchange only separates perchlorate from water; it does not eliminate it from the environment. The waste streams from these systems contain the caustic or saline regenerant solutions used in the process as well as high levels of perchlorate. Biological reduction c...

 Preparation of 2-Chlorobenzonitrile, and benzonitrile are reported here from the corresponding 2-Chlorobenzaldehyde and benzaldehyde by the reaction of ammonium hydroxide/VPO titania, VPO bulk (...
