The values given in the literature for the ammonia content of the brain show wide variation (l-3). Most of these values are of doubtful reliability, since the methods of estimation have not generally taken into account the presence of labile acid amides such as glutamine, which are now known to occur in the brain and which easily liberate ammonia on treatment with alkalies under the conditions ...

Yttria-doped zirconia powders" with an extremely small crystallite size (8 nm) and a narrow size distribution have been prepared by gel precipitation methods. Precipitation of an alkoxide solution in water ("alkoxide" synthesis) results in weaker agglomerates when compared with a precipitation of a metal chloride solution in ammonia ("chloride" synthesis). Both types of agglomerate are fracture...

Poor ammonia-nitrogen removal in methanogenic anaerobic reactors digesting animal manure has been reported as an important disadvantage of anaerobic digestion (AD) in several studies. Development of anaerobic processes that are capable of producing reduced ammonia-nitrogen levels in their effluent is one of the areas where further research must be pursued if AD technology is to be made more eff...

The present paper reports the results of an investigation aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitation (MAP), commonly called struvite, for removing ammonia from a mature municipal landfill leachate. MAP precipitation was carried out at laboratory scale by adding phosphoric acid and magnesium oxide as external sources of phosphorus and magnesium, respectiv...

[1] We evaluate the suitability of a three-dimensional chemical transport model (CTM) as a tool for assessing ammonia emission inventories, calculate the improvement in CTM performance owing to recent advances in temporally varying ammonia emission estimates, and identify the observational data necessary to improve future ammonia emission estimates. We evaluate two advanced approaches to estima...

Wastewaters containing Cu(II) along with ligands are ubiquitous in various industrial sectors. Efficacy of treatment processes for copper removal, especially precipitation, is greatly debilitated by ligands. Chemical reduction being commonly employed for production of metal nanoparticles has also been used for removing copper. Addition of ammonia was reported to be essential for improving coppe...

Dodecyl sulfate and dodecylbenzene sulfonate intercalated alpha-hydroxides of nickel and cobalt were synthesized by ammonia precipitation. These solids delaminate to give a colloidal dispersion of layers in organic solvents such as 1-butanol. The dispersed layers could be reassembled either by evaporation of the colloid or by coagulation by the addition of a polar solvent.

background: leachatecontaining high levels of organic pollution with ammonia, halogenatedhydrocarbons, heavy metals and inorganic salts. among the various methods fortreating leachate, has been developed membrane processes so that a morebiological process of membrane processes is used for separation of solid -liquid. the aimof this study was to evaluate the efficiency of membrane bioreactor eff...
