This study aims to determine the effect of nanocrystalline cellulose and potassium chloride (KCl) bioplastics from avocado seed starch glycerol as plasticizer. In this study, nanocrystal obtained palm fruit fiber was hydrolyzed using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at a concentration 50%. The used in extraction process. On producing bioplastic, casting method with addition filler 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% (%w), KCl...

In this paper, the effect of addition potassium chloride (KCl) by ball milling on first hydrogenation kinetics TiFe is reported. After milling, KCl was uniformly distributed TiFe’s surface. As-synthesized does not absorb hydrogen. However, after with KCl, it absorbed 1.5 wt.% hydrogen without any thermal treatment. The storage capacity higher than that milled pure TiFe. effects amount additive ...

Isotherms for the adsorption of KCl in PVOH-borate hydrogel was studied at 303 K by determining the amount of potassium and chloride ions adsorbed in PVOH-borate hydrogel using ion exchange chromatography and potentiometric titrations respectively. Experimental data was tested for Frendulich’s, Langmuir’s, Temkin’s and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms equations. The adsorption data follows isothe...

In this study, effects of mechanical activation in the chlorination roasting and water leaching route known as CaCl2 process developed for production potassium chloride (KCl) from feldspar ores were studied. A microcline containing K-feldspar ore with 10.89% K2O was first intensively dry milled by a planetary ball mill mixed calcium (CaCl2) then roasted at temperatures up to 1000 °C obtain KCl ...

Thick-film screen printed silver-silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrodes have been fabricated and investigated as an alternative to liquid electrolyte Ag/AgCl reference electrodes. The performance of the electrodes was examined with variations of the potassium chloride (KCl) concentration in the final (top) layer of the electrode. Also, different types of binder (glass and polymer) were ...

Insects are commonly utilized in biomedical research and have become increasingly popular museum collections as pets. Despite this, objective evaluation of insect euthanasia is scarce. This study investigated the effectiveness targeted injections ivermectin or potassium chloride (KCl) for anesthetized thorny devil stick insects (Eurycantha calcarata). Ten clinically healthy mature (six males, f...

We demonstrate here that replacing potassium chloride (KCl) with potassium acetate (KAc) or potassium glutamate (KGlu) routinely enhances the yield of RNA intermediates and products obtained from in vitro splicing reactions performed in HeLa cell nuclear extract. This effect was reproducibly observed with multiple splicing substrates. The enhanced yields are at least partially due to stabilizat...

This study aimed to analyze the ecotoxicity of nitrogen-, phosphorus-, and potassium-based compounds to organisms of two different trophic levels in order to compare the toxic effect between high-purity substances and these substances as components of fertilizers. Dilutions were made with the fertilizers' potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, superphosphate, urea, and their equivalent reagents...

The hindgut of the desert locust possesses an unusual chloride transport system. The isolated locust rectum absorbs chloride from the mucosal (lumen) to the serosal (haemolymph) side at a rate which is equal to the short-circuit current (Isc). Net chloride transport (JClnet) persists in nominally Na-free or HCO3(CO2)-free saline, is insensitive to normal inhibitors of NaCl co-transport and anio...

Chronic stable diabetic patients (n = 6) were compared with healthy control subjects (n = 5) after acute oral intake of 50 mEq of potassium chloride (KCl) to investigate for possible derangements of homeostatic responses for acute term (3 hrs) to acute potassium load. Plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma aldosterone (PA), and transtubular potassium concentration gradient (TTKG) known as a useful...
