Chemical changes are reported occurring in the blood of animals with obstruction of the jejunum, in which distilled water or sodium chloride solutions were introduced directly into the lumen of the intestine below the point of obstruction. Distilled water given daily from the beginning of the obstruction, had no influence on the development or course of the toxemia. 1 and 2 per cent salt soluti...

Extraction and separation of proteins is important for their interesting applications as continuous enzymatic reaction and/or product separation systems. In this work, a new highly efficient homogeneous capture and heterogeneous liquid–liquid separation strategy is presented for the extraction of proteins from aqueous solution by PEG (poly(ethylene glycol))-functionalized ionic liquids, which h...

An optimal small amount of water added into methyl ammonium iodide (MAI) solution in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) helps perovskite crystallization and leads to larger grain size from sequential deposition of perovskite films. The concentration of water was varied from 1% to 7% (vol% of IPA) in MAI solution and optical absorption, crystallization, morphology of perovskite films and their photovoltaic...

Thermoresponsive polyelectrolyte hydrogels, derived from tetra-n-alkylphosphonium 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate-type ionic liquid monomers, show reversible water uptake/release, in which the gels absorb/desorb water for at least ten cycles via a lower critical solution temperature-type phase transition.

The tosylation reaction of endocrine-disruptive alkylphenolic compounds in a solid-phase aqueous system was investigated with the aim of developing an environment-friendly and efficient derivatization method for HPLC analyses of environmental samples. The phenols were rapidly and efficiently converted to the tosyl derivatives on a commercially available ODS solid-phase cartridge by passing an a...

A model to describe the self-assembly properties of aqueous blends of nonionic lipids is developed in the framework of self-consistent field theory (SCFT). Thermally reversible hydrogen bonding between lipid heads and water turns out to be a key factor in describing the lyotropic and thermotropic phase behavior of such systems. Our model includes reversible hydrogen bonding imposed in the conte...

Studies have been made on muscovite single crystals treated under dry and hydrothermal conditions at temperatures above 800~ The course of reaction is markedly affected by the amount of water present in the system. In the presence of a large excess of water, appreciable reaction commences at 8(~0~ with the formation of kalsilite and corundum. The kalsilite may bear an epitaxial relationship to ...

Crown ethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), 18-crown-6 (18C6), nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (NB18C6) dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6), dissolved in dichloromethane, are able to form oxonium-ion complexes in contact with aqueous sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions. This ability allows the transfer of Cr(VI) oxanions from the acid media, through an ...
