Five-zone Simulating Moving Bed (SMB) system, designed for ternary separation, is a modified form of standard four-zone SMB which is only effective in binary separation. It was reported in literature that the five-zone SMB separates the extract-II stream with a lower purity value than that of raffinate and extract-I streams. To address this issue, five zone SMB was designed, using safety ma...

Pharmacotherapy is a major treatment method in healthcare centers, and the injection of powdered drugs is among common pharmacotherapy techniques. Medication errors and nosocomial infections are among major health issues in the world. On the other hand, powdered drugs are widely used in hospitals; however, drug mixture is a very time-consuming process. The objective of this invention was to acc...

The purpose of preparing Self microemulsifying drug delivery system in this work is to enhance the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble drug, Glimepiride. SMEDDS are the isotropic mixture of surfactant, co-surfactant and oil incorporated with drug. In the aqueous media, gastro intestinal motility emulsification takes place. Glimepiride was undergone solubility studies in ...

We report the first 4-component phase diagram for the lipid bilayer mixture, DSPC/DOPC/POPC/chol (distearoylphosphatidylcholine/dioleoylphosphatidylcholine/1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol). This phase diagram, which has macroscopic Ld+Lo phase domains, clearly shows that all phase boundaries determined for the 3-component mixture containing DOPC transition smoothly into the...

the effect of magnetic field on the liquid-liquid equilibrium of two ternary systems (water + acetic acid + butyl acetate and water + acetic acid + dimethyl succinate) at 298.15 k under atmospheric pressure was investigated. the results obtained show that the strength of the magnetic field (0.02 t) affects the solubility of acetic acid in the used organic solvents. distribution coefficients and...

Ternary erbium doped BiVO4/TiO2 complexes are synthesized by means of a simple impregnation method with good photoactivities under sun-like excitation for the degradation of phenol. From the structural and morphological characterization it has been stated that the presence of Er induces a slight stabilization of the tetragonal phase probably due to its incorporation in the BiVO4 lattice. Theref...

The odors we perceive are mainly the result of mixtures of odorants that, however, are commonly perceived as single undivided entities; nevertheless, the processes involved remain poorly explored. It has been recently reported that perceptual blending based on configural olfactory processing can cause odorant mixtures to give rise to an emergent odor not present in the components. The present s...
