Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (VELPHORO) is a polynuclear iron-based phosphate binder recently approved for the treatment of hyperphosphataemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). As a number of the available phosphate binders do not provide the optimal combination of good efficacy, adequate tolerability and low pill burden, sucroferric oxyhydroxide constitutes a promising alternative. Am...

Binding phosphate at participation of alginate/FeCl3 capsules was studied with laboratory experiments. The hydrogel microcapsules were obtained with the dropping-in method, by gelation of sodium alginate water solution by iron (III) chloride solution. Phosphate adsorption characteristics were studied in a static batch system with respect to changes in contact time, initial phosphates concentrat...

Comparative, experimental studies on sediment cores from freshwater and brackishmarine conditions reveal major differences in the benthic exchange of phosphate across the sediment-water interface when shifting from anoxic to oxic conditions. The flux of phosphate to the sediment during this shift was found to be mediated mainly by scavenging from newly formed colloidal ferric oxohydroxide. The ...

Iron (III) phosphate catalyzed condensation reaction of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and amuniom acetate refluxing ethanol that remains a common theme in current literature.

The dielectric properties of electrochemically grown zirconium oxide films by anodisation of zirconium in 1.0 mol dm-3 phosphoric acid solution were investigated in a 3 to 30 V potential range with a view to inducing surface modifications for eventual use in biomedical and electronic applications. The oxide films grown at different potentials were characterised by Atomic Force Microscopy, X-ray...

A simple, automated colorimetric method for determining oxalic acid in plant material is based on the quantitative reduction in colour of a zirconium/3,4-dihydroxyazobenzene-2'-carboxylic.acid complex by microgram quantities of oxaIic acid. I t is suitable for use over a wide range of oxalic acid concentrations. Interference from phosphate, sulphate, citric acid and malic acid was encountered b...

Introduction Mammalian ferritin is an intracellular iron storage protein assembled from 24 subunits forming a spherical shell of an outer diameter of ~13nm and an inner diameter of ~8nm. Its central cavity has a capacity for up to 4500 atoms of ferric iron. The iron loading by ferritin in vitro has been shown to be dependent upon the presence of a Good’s buffer and fails in the presence of phos...

5-Substituted-1H-tetrazoles were synthesized by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of sodium azide with various nitriles in the presence of nickel zirconium phosphate (NiZrP) as an effective heterogeneous catalyst in dimethylsulfoxide at 120 °C. This method has the advantages of good to high yields, simple methodology and easy work-up. The catalyst can be recovered by centrifuging and reused with good y...
