Thermal evolution and structural study of 2:1 mullite from monophasic gels

2006

Abstract Single phase mullite gels with composition 2Al 2 O 3 ·SiO 2 (2:1) were prepared by the slow hydrolysis method using aluminium nitrate nonahydrate and tetraethylorthosilicate as reagents. The evolution to mullite from gels was studied by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Gels thermally treated under fast schedules showed mullite formation below 900 °C. Compositional and microstructural changes in 2:1 mullites through the range of temperature from 900 to 1600 °C were determined by the measurement of lattice parameters and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The alumina-rich mullites formed at low temperatures become almost the nominal 2:1 at 1600 °C. Th…

The Existence of Nitrate Radicals in Irradiated TiO 2 Aqueous Suspensions in the Presence of Nitrate Ions

2018

Evidence of the existence of nitrate radical in irradiated aqueous TiO2 suspensions in the presence of nitrate ions are reported for the first time. The joint use of UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy showed that nitrate radicals are formed by hole induced oxidation of nitrate ions. Photocatalytic degradation of a model alkene compound allowed to highlight the presence of an intermediate organic nitrate deriving from nitrate radical attack to the double bond of the substrate. These results not only allow deeper understanding of photocatalytic processes, but open the route to new green photocatalytic syntheses initiated by nitrate radicals and to new insights in the field of atmospheric chemistry.

In vitro and in vivo characterization of a new organic nitrate hybrid drug covalently bound to pioglitazone.

2014

<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Organic nitrates represent a group of nitrovasodilators that are clinically used for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. The new compound CLC-3000 is an aminoethyl nitrate (AEN) derivative of pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione antidiabetic agent combining the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist activity of pioglitazone with the NO-donating activity of the nitrate moiety. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In vitro and in vivo characterization was performed by isometric tension recording, platelet function, bleeding time and detection of oxidative stress. <b><i>Results:</i></…

Isosorbide dinitrate: pharmacokinetics after intravenous administration.

1982

Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) is an important organic nitrate found therapeutically useful in its sublingual and oral forms in various cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris (1) and congestive heart failure (2). Recently Distante et al. (3) showed that an intravenous infusion of this drug, at 0.021–0.083 mg/min is also effective in managing unstable angina. The availability of an intravenous dosage form of ISDN not only affords the opportunity to characterize the pharmacokinetics of this drug after this particular mode of therapy, but also gives the possibility of assessing the bio-availability of this drug after other (e.g., oral) routes of administration in patients. This latter po…

Sealing capacity of a photochromatic flowable composite as protective base in nonvital dental bleaching.

2006

Aim  To evaluate microleakage of a flowable composite used as a protective isolating base, applied with different adhesive systems. Methodology  Seventy root-filled teeth were divided into seven groups. A flowable composite base (Tetric Flow Chroma) was used with three adhesive techniques (Syntac, Excite, Excite DCS; in the three cases with and without acid etching) and in a control group without dentine conditioning or adhesive placement. A 30% hydrogen peroxide solution was applied for 24 h in the pulp chambers, followed by the placement of a dye (silver nitrate) for 4 h. Each tooth was sectioned longitudinally, and examined under 4× magnification to assess the tooth/restoration dye leaka…

Cytokinin affects nitrate reductase expression through the modulation of polyadenylation of the nitrate reductase mRNA transcript

1993

Abstract Cytokinin (CK) and low-intensity light effects in modulating nitrate reductase (NR) activity, NR protein and NR encoding mRNAs were studied in tobacco cell suspension cultures. NR activity was strikingly enhanced by CK in dark- as well as in light-grown cells whereas it was less affected by light alone. NR protein accumulation was stimulated by the hormone in the light only; then a CK light-dependent regulation of NR activity was suggested. Light enhanced the steady-state levels of hybridisable total NR mRNA and a light-inductive effect was also observed after transfer from dark to light; this effect was dependent on sucrose supply and was enhanced in CK-supplied cells. NR poly(A) …

Modelling of hybrid moving bed biofilm reactors: a pilot plant experiment.

2007

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the development of hybrid biofilm reactors, especially in the upgrading of existing WWTP that are no longer able to respect concentration limits. In fact, today's challenge is the achievement of a good aquatic state for the receiving water bodies according to the Water Framework Directive requirements, which indeed limit even more the continuous emissions, i.e. coming from WWTP. This paper presents the setting up of a mathematical model for the simulation of a hybrid MBBR system; the model calibration/validation has been carried out considering a field gathering campaign on an experimental pilot plant. The main goal is to gain insight…

Measurement report of the change of PM2.5 composition during the COVID-19 lockdown in urban Xi'an: Enhanced secondary formation and oxidation

2021

Enhanced secondary aerosol formation was observed during the COVID-19 lockdown in Xi'an, especially for polluted episodes. More oxidized‑oxygenated organic aerosol (MO-OOA) and sulfate showed the dominant enhancements, especially in large particle-mode. Meanwhile, relative humidity (RH) showed a positive promotion on the formation of sulfate and MO-OOA during the lockdown, but had no obvious correlation with less oxidized‑oxygenated organic aerosol (LO-OOA) or nitrate. Organosulfurs (OS) displayed a higher contribution (~58%) than inorganic sulfate to total sulfate enhancement in the polluted episode during the lockdown. Although the total nitrate (TN) decreased during the lockdown ascribin…
