Deuterium Depleted Water-New Studies About Isotopic Distillation Obtaining Process

Revealing water’s secrets: deuterium depleted water

BACKGROUND The anomalous properties of water have been of great interest for generations of scientists. However the impact of small amount of deuterium content which is always present in water has never been explored before. For the first time the fundamental properties of deuterium depleted (light) water at 4°C and 20°C are here presented. RESULTS The obtained results show the important role...

In vitro assessment of antineoplastic effects of deuterium depleted water.

BACKGROUND In vitro, in vivo and clinical studies have demonstrated anti-cancer effects of deuterium depleted water (DDW). The nature of this agents action, cytotoxic or cytostatic, remains to be elucidated. We here aimed to address the point by examining effects on different cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) -based cytotox...

The Effect of Deuterium Depleted/Enriched Water on the Growth of A549 and HepG2 Cell Lines

Background: Although advances in cancer therapy continue to develop, the overall survival rate is poor for some cancer cases. The search for a new adjuvant strategy is the focus of cancer treatment. There is some evidence suggesting a change in the mechanism of cell function by a change in the content of deuterium in the medium. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the ...

Effectiveness of Water Desalination by Membrane Distillation Process

The membrane distillation process constitutes one of the possibilities for a new method for water desalination. Four kinds of polypropylene membranes with different diameters of capillaries and pores, as well as wall thicknesses were used in studied. The morphology of the membrane used and the operating parameters significantly influenced process efficiency. It was found that the membranes with...
