This study aimed to evaluate the protective efficacy of some antioxidants against sodium tungstate induced oxidative stress in male wistar rats. Animals were sub-chronically exposed to sodium tungstate (100 ppm in drinking water) for three months except for control group. In the same time, many ...

The complete removal of trace vanadium from ammonium tungstate solutions by solvent extraction using a quaternary ammonium salt with bicarbonate type as extractant was investigated. The effects of organic composition, equilibrium pH and A/O ratio on the extraction and stripping were studied. The...

The environmental fate of the tungstate (VI) oxyanion [ e.g. mono tungstate and several polytungstate, generally expressed by W (VI)] is largely controlled by sorption on soil minerals, especially on iron oxide minerals. Molecular scale evaluation of W (VI) retention on iron oxides in the presen...

Tungsten, recognized recently as an environmental contaminant, is being used in arms and ammunitions as substitute to depleted uranium. We studied the effects of sodium tungstate on oxidative stress, few selected neurological variables like acetylcholinesterase, biogenic amines in rat brain regi...

Owing to the suspected toxicity and carcinogenicity of tungstate (VI) oxyanions [i.e. mono tungstate and several polytungstate, generally represented by W (VI)], the environmental fate of W (VI) has been widely studied. Sorption is regarded as a major mechanism by which W (VI) species are retain...

Tungsten (W) is expected to adsorb to soil minerals, but does not appear to do so in many environments. To explain this behavior, adsorption experiments were performed over a variety of W(VI) solution compositions with different extents of W polymerization, on ferrihydrite. Tungsten adsorption w...

Phosphite is an important intermediate of the phosphorus cycle. Its life in environment is related to its oxidation rate. This paper investigated the photooxidation of phosphite in aqueous solution in the presence of ferric and oxalate ions under a Xe lamp. The photooxidation of phosphite follow...

Considering that the mechanisms for phosphite-afforded disease control remain elusive, this study investigated whether zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) phosphites could possible potentiate common bean resistance to white mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, through the stimulation of biochemical d...

An organic complex of thiourea and quinine sulphate dihydrate (TQS) has been grown for the first time by gel method. The structure determination was done by the single crystal XRD technique. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system, P21 space group with cell dimensions a = 6.228 (3) Å, b = 20.40...

High aspect ratio calcium phosphate (CaP) nanorods were achieved by out-of-phase pulsed sonoelectrodeposition from electrolytic aqueous bath composed of calcium nitrate, ammonium dihydrogenophosphate and surfactant at pH of 4.9. The nature of CaP phases was determined by powder X-ray diffraction...

The dielectric, ferroelectric and non-linear optical behavior of erbium tartrate dihydrate crystals is studied. The dielectric constant has been measured as a function of temperature and frequency. The crystals of erbium tartrate dihydrate show an anomalous dielectric behavior as a function of t...

Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) is an emerging technology for effective removal of charged pollutants from the water sources including domestic wastewater. In this work, a lab-scale MCDI system was employed to investigate its feasibility for effective phosphorus removal from domestic was...

Phase composition and phase transitions, spectral characteristics, thermal and transport properties of the (1-x)RbH2PO4 – xRb2HPO4 · yH2O system at the wide range of х = 0–1 were investigated. No solid solutions were observed at the system. A monophasic region at х = 0.25 with the compound ...

Standard state thermodynamic properties for aqueous sodium perrhenate at temperature in the range of (298.15 to 598.15) K and at psat were determined by high dilution solution calorimetry down to 10−4 m. Standard state partial molar heat capacities, Cp,2∘, of aqueous sodium perrhenate calculate...

Crystallization of sodium perrhenate (NaReO4) from aqueous solution was studied by means of laboratory scale experiments at 298 K. NaReO4 has a very high solubility in aqueous solution (> 1130 g/L at 298 K) so crystallization was induced by the addition of ethanol (drowning-out crystallization p...

Low-temperature azo compounds are a new class of self-reactive materials commonly used as initiators and blowing agents. However, their structure contains a bivalent azo bond, which is quickly released at a high ambient temperature. Self-accelerating decomposition can result in a runaway reactio...

An efficient method for the direct C2-amidation of 1-substituted imidazoles with acetylenic ketones and isocyanates is reported. This three-component procedure has the advantages of catalyst-free, operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and good to excellent yields.

Type I signal peptidase, with its vital role in bacterial viability, is a promising but underexploited antibacterial drug target. In the light of steadily increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance, we have developed novel macrocyclic lipopeptides, linking P2 and P1′ by a boronic ester warhea...

This contribution investigates the obtaining of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) modified with different concentrations of yttrium and the effect of the yttrium concentration and temperature during the rehydration of the mixed oxides derived from these solids. Mg3Al(1−x)Yx-LDH (where x = 0.04–0...
