We studied the effectiveness of potable water treatment processes that consist of the stages of coagulation-flocculation-decantation,
using iron-based coagulants, in eliminating gamma-emitting man-made radioisotopes of cesium, strontium, and americium from
two natural waters with different degrees of mineralization. The resulting decontamination was found to depend on the chemical
behavior of each of the radionuclides considered, on the pH at which the process of coagulation is carried out, and on the
concentration of the other stable cations present.

The development during the last 15 years and the state-of-the-art in the analysis of bulk steroid hormone drugs and hormone-like structures and pharmaceutical formulations made thereof are summarized. Other steroids (sterols, bile acids, cardiac glycosides, vitamins D) as well as biological-clinical aspects and pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies are excluded from this review. The state-of-the-art is summarized based on comparisons of monographs in the latest editions of the European Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. This is followed by sections dealing with new developments in the methodology for the fields of spectroscopic and spectrophotometric, chromatographic, electrophoretic and hyphenated techniques as well electroanalytical methods. The review is terminated by two problem-oriented sections: examples on impurity and degradation profiling as well as enantiomeric analysis. 相似文献
A nucleophilic substitution reaction between 4-tert-butylbenzyl bromide and a series of iodide salts has been performed in oil-in-water microemulsions based on either a fatty alcohol ethoxylate or a sugar surfactant. The reaction kinetics was compared with the kinetics of the same reaction performed in a microhomogeneous reaction medium, d-MeOH. Previous results showing a particularly high reactivity in the microemulsion based on the fatty alcohol ethoxylate was confirmed. It was shown that in both microemulsions the reaction rate was almost independent of the choice of counterion to iodide. This indicates that complexation of the cation with the surfactant headgroup, which, in particular, could have taken place with surfactants containing oligooxyethylene chains (a “crown ether effect”), seems not to be of importance.
127I NMR studies, as well as quadrupole splitting experiments performed by 2H NMR, indicate that there is a certain accumulation of iodide at the oil–water interface of the microemulsions. It is difficult to draw any quantitative conclusions in this respect, however.
The results obtained in this study, combined with results from previous investigations of the same reaction, indicate that the unexpectedly high reactivity obtained in the microemulsion based on a surfactant containing an oligooxyethylene headgroup is most probably due to the nucleophile being poorly solvated when present in the headgroup layer of such a microemulsion. Poorly solvated anions are known to be highly reactive nucleophiles. 相似文献
The influence of the sample orientation on the effective value of the hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients d
h(i)
of Sn2P2S6 crystals has been studied. The hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients d
h(1)
and d′
h(3)
, were measured, d
h(1)
=(244±3) pC/N and d′
h(3)
=(92±1) pC/N. The hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficient dh(3)
for orthogonal axis system was calculated to be d
h(3)
=(87±2) pC/N. The, optimal orientation of the sample has been found as (Xy l)−20°-cut. Maximal value of the effective hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficient dh(1)
equals 260 pC/N. Double rotated samples were also studied. The orientation of the samples insensitive to the pressure has
been found. The theoretical mean value of hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficient (dh)mean corresponding to randomly oriented Sn2P2S6 grains in a poled composite has been calculated to be (dh)mean=136 pC/N. 相似文献
Summary He present work deals with estimations of the n-th linear polarization constant c(H)n of an n-dimensional real Hilbert space H. We provide some new lower bounds on the value of sup║y║=1 │1,y> ... n,y>│, where x1, ... ,xn are unit vectors in H. In particular, the results improve an earlier estimate of Marcus. However, the intriguing conjecture c(H) n= nn/2 remains open. 相似文献
No analytic solutions of the Schrödinger equation are known for the quartic anharmonic oscillator. We show in this paper that there are closely related modified quartic oscillators with the potential depending on |x| for which analytic solutions for some states exist. These results can be extended to the higher order oscillators 相似文献
