In Korea, for heavy metal-contaminated soil, there are insufficient basic data as well field application cases soil washing. This study was conducted to suggest the significant factors and optimal operation conditions maximum metal removal efficiency. Five types of washing solution [acid (HCl), citric acid, oxalic EDTA, CaCl2], time (10–360 min), solid-solution ratio (1:2–1:100) were selected o...

Hydrocolloid-based materials have been extensively used to coat fruit and vegetables to prolong shelf-life. The effects of different concentrations of acidic washing (acetic, ascorbic, citric and malic acids) followed by coating with gum arabic (GA), carboxymethyl cellulose and emulsified gum arabic (EGA) were evaluated on the weight loss (WL), firmness and color of mushroom. The WL of the unco...

Through a series of in vitro, greenhouse, field experiments with 4 iterations, control variants, statistical processing reliability we see: Toxicity in the environment alum soil has very volatile Large and complex, this variation depends: 1-Applying three tons CaCO3/ha to rice soil, otherwise washing acid sulfate some case sometimes it is harmful. 3-Acid water pH = 3.8 (A1<s...

Oils of vegetable origin are of great importance in food, soap, and cosmetic industries and they may also be used as lubricants and raw materials for biodiesel production depending on their viscosity and thermal stability. This work provides insight into the fatty acid components, physicochemical properties and thermal stability of some refined vegetable oils. The Saponification values, peroxid...

Molecular distillation technology has been adopted to obtain a bio-oil fraction rich in carboxylic acids and ketones. This unique bio-oil fraction was then upgraded with a La-promoted solid acid catalyst. Three washing pretreatments were used to prepare catalysts A, B, and C, with the intention of reducing the amounts of residual sulfuric acid. Model reactions were used to estimate their cataly...

Acid reflux-induced heartburn and noncardiac chest pain are processed peripherally by sensory nerve endings in the wall of the esophagus, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. This study aims to determine the effects of acid on esophageal vagal nociceptive afferent subtypes. Extracellular single-unit recordings were performed in guinea pig vagal nodose or jugular C fiber neurons by usi...

The effects of prolonged water washing after fixation for 48 h in 10% (v/v) phosphate-buffered neutral formalin on the quality of representative histological staining methods were evaluated using samples of liver, kidney, spleen and thymus collected from three male Crl:CD(SD)(IGS) rats and one male beagle dog. Because door-to-door courier services in Japan prohibit handling formalin, our goal w...

Microarray experiments typically involve washing steps that remove hybridized nonspecific targets with the purpose of improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The quality of washing ultimately affects downstream analysis of the microarray and interpretation. The paucity of fundamental studies directed towards understanding the dissociation of mixed targets from microarrays makes the development of ...
