چکیده

The results of research carried out on rats, assessing the influence of chronic intoxication with ethanol, methanol, and ethylene glycol on hydrogen peroxide concentration in internal organs – brain, lungs, liver, kidney, and heart – are presented in this paper. It was shown that the organ most exposed to the detrimental activity of ethanol, methanol, and ethylene glycol is the heart: the greatest increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration was ascertained in this organ. The highest rise in the hydrogen peroxide concentration in all the organs (with the exception of brain) was noted in the case of intoxication with ethylene glycol. Ethanol revealed its antioxidant properties in the brain and kidneys, causing a decrease of the hydrogen peroxide concentration. The lungs turned out to be the only organ in which an increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration occurred during chronic intoxication with all the examined alcohols – ethanol, methanol, and ethylene glycol.

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Ethanol and Ethylene Glycol onto Poly (o-Anisidine)-Nickel Composite Electrode

In this work, poly (o-Anisidine) (POA) was prepared by consecutive potential cycling in an acidic monomer solution at the surface of Carbon Paste Electrode (CPE). Nickel ions were dispersed into the polymer by immersing the electrode in NiSO4 solution. The prepared Ni/POA/CPE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Atomic Force Mic...

Developing of Ethylene Glycol as a New Reducing Agent for Preparation of Pd-Ag/PSS Composite Membrane for Hydrogen Separation

In the present work, for the first time, a palladium-silver membrane has been prepared by electroless plating on the surface of a porous stainless steel disk by using ethylene glycol as a new reducing agent and polyol process. The reducing action of ethylene-glycol in the presence of PVP as a protecting surface agent produces a membrane with finely divided powder and nano-sized pores. Furthermo...
