In the present investigation, the oxidizing roasting process of chromite with sodium carbonate to prepare potassium dichromate crystals was studied in the microwave field with air, by heating the chromite and sodium carbonate. The chromite and sodium carbonate heated separately at 1000 ◦C in the microwave oven (frequency: 2.45 GHz; power 1.5 kW) in order to study the microwave absorption proper...

Active glucose absorption is thought to depend on a gradient of sodium ion concentration across the brush border membrane of intestinal epithelial cells. This concept is generally accepted, although its validity has never been adequately evaluated in the human small intestine in vivo. According to this hypothesis, the rate of glucose absorption should decrease markedly if the luminal sodium con...

objective: soil salinity is one of the major worldwide environmental constraints affecting agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions. lack of proper management of water and soil resources lead to increase soil salinity and reduce soil fertility. on the other hand, it seems simple and cheap method of measuring soil salinity is necessary. the aim of this study was to determine the rela...

Sodium and chloride are essential for numerous processes in the body including the regulation of osmotic pressure and acid-base balance. Both sodium and chloride also play important roles in the digestion and absorption of several nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption of glucose and most amino acids from the small intestine requires an adequate supply of sodium. In cattle, magne...

in this study, rice husk and sodium silicate solution were used to produce particleboards. sodium silicate was used as bonding aid by 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 and zero percent (based on rice husk dry weight). to modify the mechanism of bondability, one percent of 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (mdi) was added for every five percent less sodium silicate solution. the effect of diisocyanate on bondab...

Several factors interact to maintain precise control of electrolyte transport in the mammalian cortical collecting duct. We have studied the effects of deoxycorticosterone, arginine vasopressin, and bradykinin on net transepithelial sodium and potassium transport in isolated, perfused rat cortical collecting ducts. Chronic administration of deoxycorticosterone to rats increased both sodium abso...

the deposits of clinoptilolite (cli) in iran after activation with sodium chloride or sodium hydroxide solution was subjected to ion exchange with some heavy and toxic cations. the results showed that the absorption for ca2+ (7.5 ppm), cu2+ (50 ppm), zn2+ (40 ppm), cd2+ (40 ppm), pb2+ (500 ppm) and al3+ (5 ppm) were 95.2, 96.70, 93.30,99.12, 99.2 and 90.0 percents, respectively. the noteworth o...
