The effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of AISI 410 stainless steel in the simulated concrete pore (0.1 M NaOH + 0.1 M KOH) solution was investigated by various electrochemical methods such as Potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chlori...

Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free energy carrier. Co-firing of ammonia in solid fuel-fired facilities feasible solution to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Solid fuels, such as coal and biomass, contain various trace elements, alkali metals sulfur, which are released the gas phase during combustion. Experimental characterization modeling used study participation sulfur species conv...

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was recovered from KOH-treated precipitates of 20.6% of 500 freshwater samples. KOH treatment of precipitates is a simple and expedient means of recovering Y. pseudotuberculosis from such samples.

Remarkable changes are brought about by KOH in transforming negative cells of Nitella (showing dilute solution negative with KOH) to positive cells (showing dilute solution positive with KOH). NaOH is less effective as a transforming agent. This might be explained on the ground that the protoplasm contains an acid (possibly a fatty acid) which makes the cell negative and which is dissolved out ...

The transesterification of Amygdalus scoparia oil to biodiesel was performed and examined through the electrolysis method in presence KOH/Al2O3 as a heterogeneous catalyst at room temperature. A solid base prepared impregnation Al2O3 with KOH solution (concentration 25g 100 mL deionized water). analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Energy-dispersive spectros...

Abstract This study has examined the potential of exhausted kahwa coffee (EKC) as a precursor activated carbon (AC) to remove heavy metal ions, Cd 2+ and Zn from aqueous solution. The AC was by different activation methods using KOH, ZnCl 2 , H 3 PO 4 without agent. EKC sample impregnated with chemical agents ratio 1:1. Afterward, carbonization conducted at temperature 400°C for 60 minutes. rem...

Background. There are relatively few studies published examining the sensitivity and specificity of potassium hydroxide (KOH) smear and fungal culture examination of tinea pedis. Objective. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of KOH smear and fungal culture for diagnosing tinea pedis. Methods. A pooled analysis of data from five similarly conducted bioequivalence trials for antifungal d...

BACKGROUND Genital warts are the most common viral sexually transmitted disease affecting 1% of the population. A prospective, open-label controlled trial was performed to compare topical 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution with CO2 laser in the treatment of female genital warts. METHODS Seventy patients were enrolled in the study after convenience sampling. Right-sided lesions of the patie...

Several species of anaerobic bacteria display variable Gram stain reactions which often make identification difficult. A simple, rapid method utilizing a 3% solution of potassium hydroxide to distinguish between gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial was tested on 213 strains of anaerobic bacteria representing 19 genera. The Gram stain reaction and KOH test results were compared with the ant...

Successful alkylations of the nitrogen of ethyl indol-2-carboxylate were carried out using aq. KOH in acetone. The respective N-alkylated acids could be obtained without separating the N-alkylated esters by increasing the amount of KOH and water. The use of NaOMe in methanol led to transesterification instead of the alkylation, while the use of NaOEt led to low yields of the N-alkylated acids. ...
