Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disorder especially during aging. Although with controversies, glucosamine, both in its forms of sulfate and hydrochloride, and chondroitin sulfate are commonly employed to treat osteoarthritis. Due to the modest improve in the symptoms observed in...

SummaryPurposeGlucosamine sulfate is one of the treatment options for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. It has been postulated that glucosamine sulfate affects intraocular pressure (IOP). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of crystalline glucosamine sulfate on IOP in patients with o...

The Raman spectra of methylphosphorodichloridate, CH3OP(O)Cl2, and ethylphosphorodichloridate, CH3CH2OP(O)Cl2, have been measured in the liquid and solid states. Rotational isomerism about the COP(O) bond has been investigated on the basis of normal coordinate treatment. CH3OP(O)Cl2 has two ro...

The composition of salmonid diets has changed from the use of mainly marine ingredients to increased use of plant ingredients, and this has an impact on the mineral content and availability. Minerals, like zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and manganese (Mn), are supplemented to diets as inorganic or org...

Herein hydrophobic coatings on the surface of manganese were fabricated by immersing manganese substrate into passivation solution with stearic acid (SA) and stearic acid diethanolamide (SDEA). The novelty is that micelles of SDEA can help insoluble SA largely dissolve in solution, then SA and S...

A comparative investigation of hydroxide precipitation, sulfide precipitation, carbonate precipitation and the struvite formation process for removing manganese and ammonia nitrogen from electrolytic metal manganese residue leachate (EMMRL) was investigated. Chemical equilibrium model-Visual MIN...

Electrolytic metal manganese residue leachate (EMMRL) was produced from long-term deposition of electrolytic metal manganese residue. EMMRL contains huge amount of manganese and ammonia nitrogen which could seriously damage the ecological environment. In this study, a chemical equilibrium model-...

Ammonia and manganese were simultaneously removed from electrolytic metal manganese residue leachate using phosphate salt. The influence of different N:P ratios and pH were investigated. Phase transition and decomposing behavior of precipitates and the characterization of the precipitates pyroly...

Two kinds of hydrophobic coating, lauric diethanolamide (LDEA) hydrophobic coating, lauric diethanolamide and stearic acid (LDEA-SA) hydrophobic coating were fabricated on electrolytic manganese by immersion method. Studies of experimental variables, such as immersion time and solution concentra...

Acid leaching of rhodochrosite will generate electrolytic manganese residue together with emission of carbon dioxide (CO2). Wastewater containing highly concentrated manganese is being generated when treating electrolytic manganese residue. Although carbonate precipitation has been identified as...

Aqueous aggregation kinetics of manganese oxides, the solid products formed during water treatment and subsurface remediation with permanganate, are crucial for its application. In this study, manganese oxides nanoparticles were in situ formed in a permanganate/(bi)sulfite system, which was foun...

The sol-gel method is applied to prepare nano-sized LMNCO lithium-rich layered oxides by adding of composite organic acid (citric acid & tartaric acid). The effect of composite organic acid on the microstructure of Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (LMNCO) Li-rich cathode material is explored in this wo...

Understanding lattice-preferred orientations (LPOs) of olivine is important in the study of seismic anisotropy and mantle flow of the upper mantle in the earth. Although olivine is the major mineral of the upper mantle, both amphibole and chlorite in a deformed peridotite may develop LPO and thu...

Two textural types of chlorite are identified in the mineralised veins at the Patricia Zn-Pb-Ag epithermal ore deposit (NE, Chile): massive and oscillatory-zoned radiated chlorites. Three main stages of mineralisation have been defined in the Patricia deposit: (1) pre-ore stage, (2) base-metal s...

In this work, a simplified and cost-effective chlorite pretreatment method to improve the hydrolysabiliy of biomass was developed. Compared to common used sodium chlorite-acetic acid (SCA) pretreatment (18.1%), sodium chlorite (SC) pretreatment resulted in less xylan loss (7.8%), thus led more c...

Lignin is the major components limiting enzymatic hydrolysis and normally removed by acidified sodium chlorite in laboratory. However, the information on delignification kinetics and selectivity at cellular level as the reaction proceeds is limited. In this work, the dynamic removal of lignin an...

The effects of chlorite on tight sandstone reservoirs have not been fully understood yet. In this paper, two different chlorite occurrences are observed in the Upper Triassic Xujiahe tight sandstones of Guang'an Area, Sichuan Basin (grain coating) and in the Permian Lucaogou tight sandstone...

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has been used as an alternative to chlorine in water purification to reduce the formation of halogenated by-products and give superior inactivation of microorganisms. However, the formation of chlorite (ClO2−) is a major consideration in the application of ClO2. In order ...

Chlorite, ordered mixed-layer chlorite-smectites, laumontite, quartz and albite are the most widespread alteration assemblage in cone-building and near-vent successions of lavas, autoclastic, pyroclastic and resedimented volcaniclastic deposits of the Oligocene Smrekovec Volcanic Complex, Sloven...

Chlorite alteration and the U removal capacity of altered chlorite were investigated. Batch kinetic dissolution tests using clinochlore CCa-2 were conducted for 60 days in aqueous solutions of various pHs and ionic strengths. Batch sorption tests using these altered chlorite samples were conduct...
