The facile ability of iron to gain and lose electrons has made iron an important participant in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. Binding of ligands to iron modifies its redox potential, thereby permitting iron to transfer electrons with greater or lesser facility. The ability to transfer electrons, coupled with its abundance, as iron is the fourth most abundant mineral in the earth's cr...

This study investigates vanadium extraction from steel converter slag the LD (Linz-Donawitz) process. has been used as an active bed material in a biomass boiler combustion technique called oxygen carrier aided (OCAC). usage could be compared to roasting step common roasting-leaching method for extraction. Leaching of prior use is undesirable materials OCAC are removed. successfully leached fol...

INTRODUCTION Treatment of severe hemorrhagic shock due to acute blood loss from traumatic injuries in a Jehovah's witness (JW) trauma patient is very challenging since hemostatic blood product resuscitation is limited by refusal of the transfusion of allogeneic blood products. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a multifaceted approach to the clinical care of a severely anemic JW trauma patient inc...

Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) has been suggested among the best alternatives to reduce the economic cost of CO2 capture using fuel gas because CO2 is inherently separated in the process. As gaseous fuels it can be used natural gas, refinery gas or syngas from coal gasification, which may 2 contain different amounts of sulfur compounds, such as H2S and COS. An experimental investigation of t...

The syngas chemical looping (SCL) process developed at the Ohio State University can efficiently convert coal derived syngas into hydrogen with in-situ CO2 capture. In this novel process, two moving bed units are used to convert syngas into hydrogen through the assistance of an oxygen carrier particle. A third unit, an entrained bed combustor, is used to convey the oxygen carrier particles to c...

Oxygen delivery and consumption after hemodilution with a perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carrier (PFCOC) was evaluated at sea level and at 2,600 m above sea level. Fifteen anesthetized rats were subjected to a two-exchange normovolemic hemodilution of 40% of the circulating blood volume each. First exchange was performed with a colloid solution. Second exchange was with 80% PFCOC and 20% colloid....
