liquid membrane processes have attracted many interests in recent years for removal of heavy metals such as cadmium from industrial wastewaters. in this study, a modified hybrid liquid membrane system is introduced. the setup is worked by applying the water-insoluble dioctyl phthalate as the organic solvent. n-octanol and tetra butyl ammonium bromide are added to the organic phase to increase t...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of gutta-percha removal achieved with simple mechanical technique using two different solvents. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was an in vitro experimental study conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan on 27 extracted human molars divided into two groups by alternate sampling technique. The teeth were prepared by manual filing and obturated...

A novel tris(chelate) metalloligand has been used to synthesize a chiral, heterometallic metal-organic framework that is robust to solvent removal and shows selective uptake of nitroaromatic compounds.

CO2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. To test a new solvent (AIT600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. This paper presents the results of studies ...

introduction: the success of endodontic retreatment is related to the complete removal of the obturation material from the root canal system. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mtwo r and protaper retreatment files in removing the resilon/epiphany system with or without chloroform during retreatment. materials and methods: sixty distal roots of first mandibular molars were pr...

The molecular framework [Fe(NCS)(2)(tmbpz)(2)](tmbpz = 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolyl) consists of a robust doubly interpenetrated NbO-type network that remains stable on the removal of solvent guest molecules.

The use of quantitative image analysis techniques, together with physiological information might be used to monitor and detect operational problems in advance to reactor performance failure. Industrial organic solvents, such as White Spirit, are potentially harmful to granular sludge. In preliminary batch assays, 33 mg L(-1) of solvent caused 50% relative biomass activity loss. In an expanded g...
