Contact dermatitis is produced by external skin exposure to an allergen, but sometimes a systemically administered allergen may reach the skin and remain concentrated there with the aid of the circulatory system, leading to the production of systemic contact dermatitis (SCD). Metals such as nickel, cobalt, chromium, and zinc are ubiquitous in our environment. Metal allergy may result in allergi...

The effect of ruthenium on the physico-chemical properties of CeZr and CeZrCo mixed oxides for H2 production by glycerol steam reforming reaction has been studied. The combination of in situ Raman spectroscopy under both reductive and oxidative conditions, H2/O2 pulses and XRD, Raman, BET analysis, H2-TPR and TPD-TPO analyses contributed to the determination of the structural and textural prope...

This work deals with the comparison between three analytical techniques for the total contents analysis of heavy metals in agricultural soils polluted by copper. The soils samples are digested to clear solutions using a mixture of perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. The metals studied are copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, zinc and manganese. Soil solutions are complex matrices and the analy...

The determination of the catalyst’s active phase helps improve catalytic performance Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis. Different phases cobalt, including cobalt oxide, carbide, and metal, exist during reaction. content each can affect product distribution. In this study, a series carbide catalysts were synthesized by exposure Co/Al2O3 catalyst to CH4 at different temperatures from 300 °C 800 °C. ...

a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt (ii) phthalocyanine (copc) was used as a sensitive potentiometric sensor for determination of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions. the potential response of the electrode is a linear function of ascorbic acid concentration over the range 5 10 to 10 m (?1- 1800 µg ml ) with a nernstian slope of 56 mv at ph 7. the limit of detection was 0.2 µg ml ascor...

Copper and cobalt demand is projected to be increased from here 2050 the challenge find treat economically minerals which contains those metals. Several tailings oxide ores throughout word contain good grades of copper that should recovered by froth flotation. This paper investigates recovery through reprocessing spiral classifier determination specific reagents dosage. The flotation behaviours...

an extensive study of fischer-tropsch synthesis (fts) on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts with different amounts of cobalt is reported. up to 40 wt % of cobalt, is added to the catalysts by impregnation method. the effect of the cobalt loading on the reducibility of the cobalt oxide species, dispersion of the cobalt, average clusters size, water-gas shift (wgs) activity and activity and selec...

BACKGROUND Cobalt has been shown to induce mainly asthma, allergic contact dermatitis and hard metal disease. The data on cobalt asthma are mainly based on case reports. AIMS To characterize all the cases of occupational cobalt asthma encountered in a cobalt plant at the time of diagnosis and 6 months later. We also evaluated the incidence of cobalt asthma in different departments on the basi...

Introduction: Wedge filters are used in radiotherapy to modify photon beam and improve dose uniformity in the target volume. Determination of wedge dose distribution is important to improve treatment planning accuracy. The utilization of treatment planning software to obtain dose distribution is not always available. In this work an analytical model has been developed to calcu...
