The effect of pellet chemical composition and burning temperature on pellets’ properties of the Gol-e-Gohar hematite recovery plant was investigated in this study. Green pellets of different sodium hydroxide ratio and hydrated lime were prepared as well. Then the pellets were burnt in a muffle kiln under different temperature conditions. The Design Expert software was employed to explore ...

objective(s): this study evaluates the effect of substitution of microcrystalline cellulose (mcc) with ethylcellulose (ec) on mechanical and release characteristics of theophylline pellets. materials and methods: the effect of addition of ec was investigated on characteristics of pellets with varying drug content prepared by extrusion-spheronization. also the effect of type of granulating liqui...

Objective(s) The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of production of ibuprofen pellets with high amount of rate retarding polymer by aid of PEG400 as plasticizer. Materials and Methods Polyethylene glycol (PEG400) in concentrations of 1, 3 or 5% w/w with respect to Eudragit RL was used in production of pellets containing 60% ibuprofen and 40% excipient (2% polyvinylpyrrolid...

the most frequent adverse effects of indomethacin like other nsaids are gastro–intestinal and central nervous system disturbances. extended release or enteric release formulations minimize these symptoms. the objective of this study was to develop an extended release pellet formulation of indomethacin by the centrifugation (rotary fluid bed granulation) or powder layering method. layered, nonpa...

Objective(s): A Box-Behnken design was used for evaluation of Eudragit coated diclofenac pellets. The purpose of this work was to optimize diclofenac pellets to improve the physicochemical properties using experimental design. Materials and Methods: Diclofenac was loaded onto the non-pareil beads using conventional coating pan. Film coating of pellets was done at the same pan. The effect of pla...

the rodents’ fauna of boundary zones of iran are still poorly known. in this research rodents fauna of khaf township in northeast of iran have been reported mainly based on pellets of birds of prey. alive samples and also rodent’s remains from pellet materials of birds of prey in the present study was collected from 46 localities in khaf, northeast of khorasanrazavi province and different speci...

The main objective of this study was to prepare colon-specific pellets of budesonide, using pectin as film coating. Pellet cores of budesonide were prepared by extrusion / spheronization technique. Pectin, in different ratios was combined with Eudragit RS30D, Eudragit NE30D or Surelease to produce film coating. The dissolution profiles of pectin coated pellets were investigated in pH of 1.2 (2 ...
