چکیده

A survey of X-ray film processing departments revealed the main airborne contaminants to be sulphur dioxide and acetic acid at concentrations of about 0.1 ppm. Glutaraldehyde was not detected either in the ambient air or in the exhaust duct from an automatic film processor. Laboratory studies confirmed sulphur dioxide and acetic acid as the main headspace constituents above working strength processing solutions but glutaraldehyde and butyraldehyde were also detected.

A study of densitometry comparison among three radiographic processing solutions

ABSTRACT Background: The radiographic image accuracy depends on the X-ray film information visibility. Good visibility is found by good contrast. Radiation exposure parameters (kVp, mAs) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. In dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. No optimized exposure time and process...

Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of Sol-Gel Derived Coral-like TiO2 Nanostructured Thin Film

To enhance photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, coral-like TiO2 nanostructured thin films were chemically synthesized through the sol-gel method. The fabricated thin films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption isotherms, mercury porosimetry measurements, and UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectrum (DRS). The ...

Effect of Cu Content on TiN-Cu Nanocomposite Film Properties: Structural and Hardness Studies

Titanium nitride-Copper (TiN-Cu) nanocomposite films were deposited onto stainless steel substrate using hollow cathode discharge ion plating technique. The influence of Cu content in the range of 2-7 at.% on the microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of deposited films were investigated. Structural properties of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction pattern. Topography of t...
