The purpose of this study was to compare the effect hemostatic agent containing aluminum chloride with ferric sulfate on shear bond strength resin-modified glass ionomer cement(RMGIC) dentin in primary tooth. Twenty extracted non-carious human teeth were collected study. specimens cut expose and polished. randomly seperated into 3 groups for treatment; group I: polyacrylic acid(PAA), RMGIC; II:...

Sorption processes at the mineral/water interface typically control the mobility and bioaccessibility of many inorganic contaminants such as oxyanions. Selenium is an important micronutrient for human and animal health, but at elevated concentrations selenium toxicity is a concern. The objective of this study was to determine the bonding mechanisms of selenate (SeO4(2-) and selenite (SeO3(2-) o...

This study is on the reuse of the residue generated by a Moringa oleifera oil extraction plant. The residual oil cake produced during the process of oil extraction retains the positively charged protein of the M. oleifera seed, which is the active component in the process of 15 attracting and capturing suspended particles in waters. Such coagulant–flocculant properties give rise to the eliminat...

The results from this study illustrate the first time electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS) has been used to separate inorganic cations in aqueous solutions. Using ESI-IMS nine inorganic cation solutions were analyzed. Counter ions affected both the sensitivity and the identity of the response ions. Aluminum sulfate, lanthanum chloride, strontium chloride, uranyl acetate, ...

Managing intractable haematuria is a daunting task. One cause of this condition is radiationinduced haemorrhagic cystitis. Several treatments for the condition have been proposed and one non-invasive option is alum irrigation. Here, we report on a 65-year-old woman with intractable haematuria secondary to radiation cystitis who was successfully treated with alum irrigation. Alum irrigation is s...

This study aims to explore a novel application of dewatered alum sludge cakes (DASC) as the main medium in a single model reed bed to treat phosphorus-rich animal farm wastewater under "tidal flow" operation on a long-term basis. It is expected that the cakes act as the carrier for developing biofilm and also serve as adsorbent to enhance phosphorus (P) immobilization. Results have demonstrated...

Effects of addition of alum (0.00 -1.0% w/w) on pasting and some physicochemical characteristics of cassava starch were investigated with view to evaluate the potential of alum as a cassava starch modifying agent. The modified starch was prepared by pre-treatment of the native starch with alkaline at room temperature prior to modification using alum. Alum modified cassava starch were characteri...
