1. Insoluble salts of alklaine earth metals (e. g. calcium phosphate) dissolve in non-aqueous solvents containing EDTA salts of organic cations (e.g. tetraethylammonium). 2. Bone is efficiently demineralized in ethanolic trimethylammonium EDTA. Retention in the matrix of water-soluble materials (e.g. proteoglycan) is much better than in standard aqueous EDTA demineralization procedures.

A dispersion of a peptide amphiphile into water forms hierarchical fibril structures, leading to a supramolecular hydrogel. We here report that there exists dynamic heterogeneity in the gel, which might be induced by the heterogeneous fibril network. The network, and therefore, the heterogeneity, can be easily regulated by changing the temperatures used to dissolve the gelator in water.

Abstract We investigate the dissolution mechanism of cellulose using molecular dynamics simulations in both water and a mixture solvent consisting with Na $$^+$$ + , OH $$^-$$ - urea. As first computational study its kind, we apply periodic external forces ...

Agricultural lands are gradually being contaminated by heavy metals (HMs) obtained from urbanization and human activities. Lead (Pb) is one of the major easily enters into food cycle causes different health abnormalities. So elimination this dangerous metal surface water crucial in regard phyto-extraction based phytoremediation an environmentally safe procedure. Again, removal process can be am...

Experiment Section Synthesis of spiral ultrathin-nanosheets with overgrew edge (SUNOE): For NiFe SUNOE, 0.114g NiCl24H2O and 0.060g (NH4)2Fe(SO4)26H2O were weighed and transferred into a 40mLpolytetrafluoroethene autoclave. Then 8 mL ethanol were added to dissolve the salts by sonication. Though the sulfate seemed not fully dissolved, 2mL oleylamine (OAm) was injected into the autoclave, some p...
