Adsorption of bisphenol A on a lignin isolated from black liquor, a waste product of the paper industry, was investigated to assess the possibility of using the lignin to remove bisphenol A from waters. Effects of pH, ionic strength, heavy metals, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) on adsorption were examined. Adsorption equilibrium was approached within 5 h. The adsorption capacity of bispheno...

Common colds were shortened by 7 days in a 1984 clinical trial using zinc gluconate throat lozenges each 2 h. Between then and 2004, 10 other double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials showed widely varying results. This re-analysis of these trials presents solution chemistry methods to elucidate differences in efficacy. Statistically significant correlation was shown between total daily ...
