The reduction of formaldehyde by ammonium carbonate was examined in cadavers and in vitro. Formaldehyde concentrations in the air (10 cm above human cadavers) and in various cadaveric tissues were measured with or without perfusion of ammonium carbonate solution into formaldehyde-fixed cadavers. Air samples were monitored using Kitagawa gas detector tubes. For measurement of formaldehyde in tis...

easily prepared nanozno was found to be as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of 1,4-dhps via four-component reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyls, aldehydes and ammonium carbonate in water at 60 °c. the prepared nanozno was characterized by xrd and ft-ir analysis, while the determined specific surface area of nano catalyst by bet method was 33 m2/g.

Formaldehyde gas, generated by the depolymerization of paraformaldehyde and in the presence of water vapor, has been traditionally used for biological decontamination of equipment and spaces utilized for research with a susceptible biological agent. This gas has often been neutralized with ammonia gas, generated by the thermal decomposition of ammonium bicarbonate or ammonium carbonate. An elem...

In this paper, we report observations on single internally mixed ammonium sulfate/calcium carbonate microparticles. Deliquescence and efflorescence relative humidities for this mixed system are reported. The slightly soluble CaCO3 has a negligible effect on the deliquescence relative humidity and the concentrationdependent water activities. Mixed particles at 298 K were observed to exist in two...

Nanoparticles of barium carbonate/oxalate have been synthesized in situ from barium nitrate and ammonium carbonate/oxalate by reverse micelle method. These particles were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that rod-like barium carbonate (BaCO3) and spherical barium oxalate (BaC2O4) nanop...

nano-structured lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite, la0.6sr0.4co0.2fe0.8o3 (lscf), was successfully synthesized via co-precipitation method using metal nitrates as starting materials. effects of precipitating agent and calcination temperature on the phase composition and morphology of synthesized powders were systematically studied using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and field emission scanning elect...

A novel di-iron(III) catalyst for the copolymerisation of cyclohexene oxide and CO(2) to yield poly(cyclohexene carbonate), under mild conditions, is reported. The catalyst selectivity was completely changed on addition of an ammonium co-catalyst to yield only the cis-isomer of the cyclic carbonate, also under mild conditions. Additionally, the catalyst was active for propylene carbonate and st...

Nitrogen (N) in livestock food sources that does not end up in a product (e.g. milk or eggs) or that does not get incorporated in body tissue is excreted by the animal. Nitrogen in the urine is in the form of urea which can rapidly hydrolyse to form ammonium carbonate. The decomposition of ammonium carbonate frees up ammonium ions that can volatilise as gaseous ammonia (NH3). Hydrolysis of urea...

In connection with certain metabolism experiments now in progress in this Institute, the determination of the nitrogen present in the urine of a steer as ammonium compounds and ammonia has become of considerable importance. Recurring peculiarities in the results obtained in some earlier work involving ammonia determinations led to the belief that the chloroform used in the urine as a preservati...
