Oxygen Solubility Measurements in Liquid Paraffin

Synthesis of Cuprous Oxide by Thermal Treatment in Liquid Paraffin

Cu2O nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of Schiff base copper (II) complex (1) as precursor. Liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. Span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. The nano structure of the complex was characterized by X-ray diffraction measurement...

Bronchoalveolar lavage in liquid paraffin pneumonitis.

We evaluated cells and lipids recovered in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from seven patients with liquid paraffin pneumonitis. For each patient, the BALF was whitish with oil droplets on the surface. Alveolar macrophages contained numerous, large vacuoles that did not react with May-Grunwald-Giemsa, Papanicolaou, or periodic acid-Schiff but were stained in black with Sudan B, orange with Sud...

Oxygen Solubility in Liquid Iron and Consequences for the Early Differentiation of Earth and Mars

Introduction: It has been considered that the Earth accreted from carbonaceous chondrite-like material (e.g., [1], [2]). This hypothesis is based on the observation that the refractory element ratios of Earth’s mantle are close to carbonaceous chondrite values, although the ratio of metallic Fe to total Fe is much closer to that of enstatite chondrite (e.g., [3]). Recently, Halliday [4] suggest...
