The reaction between dissolved sulfide and synthetic iron (oxyhydr)oxide minerals was studied in artificial seawater and 0.1 M NaCl at pH 7.5 and 25°C. Electron transfer between surface-complexed sulfide and solid phase Fe(III) results in the oxidation of dissolved sulfide to elemental sulfur, and the subsequent dissolution of the surface-reduced Fe. Sulfide oxidation and Fe(II) dissolution kin...

Soil aggregates were prepared from a bulk soil collected from paddy soil in the Taihu Lake region and aluminum (Al) dissolution, solution pH changes during copper (Cu(2+)) sorption were investigated with static sorption and magnetic stirring. Kinetics of Cu(2+) sorption and Al dissolution were also studied by magnetic stirring method. No Al dissolution was observed until Cu(2+) sorption was gre...

The intent of this work was to study the effect of polymorphism on dissolution properties and to apply several methods to evaluate the dissolution profiles of immediate-release tablets containing alpha (α) and beta (β) forms of eletriptan hydrobromide (EH). The polymorphs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fou...

This paper presents device designs, circuit demonstrations, and dissolution kinetics for amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) comprised completely of water-soluble materials, including SiNx, SiOx, molybdenum, and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Collections of these types of physically transient a-IGZO TFTs and 5-stage ring oscillators (ROs), constructed with them...

The oral Bioavailability of BCS (Bio Pharmaceutical Classification System) class II drug with poor solubility and reasonable permeability is limited by drug dissolution. The purpose of this research was to obtain enhancement of the dissolution profile of Mefenamic acid (MA) using solid dispersion technique with hydrophilic polymers such as poly ethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)...

The aim of this study was the development of a dissolution test with IVIVC for extended-release bromopride (BPD) pellets using bioavailability data. BPD is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System Class 2 drug, and its absorption is primarily limited by its dissolution rate. Despite this, there are no reports describing a dissolution test for BPD dosage forms. The dissolution medium was selecte...

Hydrogel based tablets of Simvastatin was formulated using hydropropyl methyl cellulose(different grades), guar gum and carbopal-934-P with the aim to study of release kinetic, to attain a near zero order release and to increase the bioavalability upto 95%. In-vitro dissolution studies were carried out using USP type 2 dissolution test apparatus. The release of drug followed a typical Higuchian...

In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is one of the effective technologies used for source zone remediation of dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) such as chlorinated solvents in the subsurface environments. In karst systems, DNAPL source zones reside in epikarst where the contaminant is generally trapped in the soil or at the carbonate bedrock contact. The efficiency of oxidation of residual t...

Coatings are a cheap and efficient solution to protect underlying metallic substrates against electrochemical corrosion. High performance coatings do not only provide this protection of the substrate in the undamaged state but also when they are scratched. This enhanced protection can be achieved in many different ways (ranging from primers based on expansive phases which seal the crack upon sc...

abstract low molecular weight carboxylic acids (lmw) play an important role in improving the bioavailability of soil nutrients. nonexchangeable soil k, trapped between the interlayers of clay minerals, is an important source of k for plants in many soils. the objectives of this study were to determine the effect of selected lmw organic acids on the release of k from micaceous minerals and to in...
