The contribution of decameric vanadate species to vanadate toxic effects in cardiac muscle was studied following an intravenous administration of a decavanadate solution (1mM total vanadium) in Sparus aurata. Although decameric vanadate is unstable in the assay medium, it decomposes with a half-life time of 16 allowing studying its effects not only in vitro but also in vivo. After 1, 6 and 12h ...

The evaluation of the Kjeldahl digestion method was investigated by comparing measured values of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium using three salt and catalyst mixture in Standard Kjeldahl digestion method and Salicylic acid Modification method with certified values of plant material as well as comparison was made for determination of total nitrogen from steam distillation method verses...

tidepressants, a group of drugs widely used for treating depressive diseases. Its chemical structure is shown in Fig. 1. Most existing methods for the determination of nortriptyline in bulk, pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples have been reviewed. Among other methods described for the assay of this drug are direct UV-spectrophotometry, derivatives spectrophotometry, fluorimetry an...

Good control of the solution pH and temperature is required to recover vanadium from water leaching ore after sodium roasting. However, such adjustments could lead aluminum-vanadium sodium-vanadium co-precipitation, which greatly affects efficiency recovery. In this study, a process that can increase recovery as ammonium metavanadate [NH4VO3] polyvanadate [(NH4)2V6O16·H2O] was investigated by e...

V-doped TiO2 materials (0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 1.00 nominal atomic %) were synthesized by the sol-gel method characterized X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, photoelectron H2-temperature programmed reduction. Two vanadium precursors (vanadyl acetylacetonate ammonium metavanadate) three calcination temperatures (400, 500, 600 ...

Photocatalytic H2O2 production is an innovative on-site synthesis method to treat organic pollutants through Fenton-like reactions, avoiding the need and potential liability of storage transportation. Accurate quantification crucial explore mechanism photocatalytic optimize reaction parameters. In this work, three common methods (i.e., titration with potassium permanganate (KMnO4), colorimetry ...

Hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate vanadium uptake by Chinese green mustard and tomato plants and its effect on their growth. Twenty-eight (Chinese green mustard) and 79 days (tomato) after germination, the plants were exposed for a further seven days to a solution containing six different concentrations of ammonium metavanadate (0-80 mg/l NH4VO3). The vanadium accumulated in ...

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane to propylene by supported vanadia catalysts has received much attention in recent years, but different reactivity trends have been reported for this catalytic reaction system. In the present investigation, the origin of these differing trends are investigated with synthesis of supported V/SiO2, V/TiO2, and V/Al2O3 catalysts prepared with three diff...
