the purpose of the present study was to synthesize and characterize nanosilica from alkali-extraction of silica fume under controlled conditions using poly (vinyl alcohol) (pva) as a dispersing agent. the dissolution efficiency of silica fume was affected by various factors such as concentration of the reagent, reaction time and temperature. a maximum dissolution efficiency of 91% was achieved ...

Ritonavir, a widely prescribed anti-retroviral drug, belongs to Class II under 'BCS' and exhibit low and variable oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility. Ritonavir is practically insoluble in water and aqueous fluids. Its aqueous solubility was reported to be 2.56 mg/100 ml. As such oral absorption of ritonavir is dissolution rate limited and it requires enhancement in solubili...

Efavirenz, a widely prescribed anti retroviral drug belongs to class IΙ under BCS and exhibit low and variable oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility. Its oral absorption is dissolution rate limited and it requires enhancement in the solubility and dissolution rate for increasing its oral bioavailability. The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of formulating ...

objective(s): the aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the natural and the chemically modified form of cyclodextrins namely; β-cyclodextrin (β-cd) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (hp-β-cd) respectively on the solubility and dissolution rate of aripiprazole; an antipsychotic medication showing poor aqueous solubility.   materials and methods: phase solubility of aripiprazole with t...

Surface solid dispersions using water-insoluble carriers like crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate, pre-gelatinized starch, potato starch and Avicel PH 101 were investigated to enhance the dissolution rate of the glimepiride, a poorly water insoluble drug. The effect of various carriers on dissolution profile was studied using presence absence model. The surface solid di...

In this paper we study the mass transfer process of ozone dissolution in a bubble plume inside a rectangular water tank, as a model problem for a water purification system. The effect of bubble diameter and plume structure on mass transfer efficiency of ozone in bubble plumes is investigated numerically. In order to capture the detailed plume structure, interaction between liquid and bubbles is...

As a method to reduce atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), this greenhouse gas can be separated at large point-sources, compressed and injected into geological formations such as saline aquifers. Several physical features of the fluids and the rock sequester the CO2 in the pores of the rock for geologic time-scales. One such feature is dissolution into the brine, which increases the d...

The objective of the present study is to formulate and evaluate roxithromycin tablets employing roxithromycin (ROX) solid dispersions. Dispersions of ROX in mannitol were prepared by different techniques like physical mixing, melting method, melt solvent method, kneading technique and common solvent method with drug and carrier ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:9. ROX tablets were formulated employi...
