This results in its solubility driven variable and/or low oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy as a major drawback. Thus, most of the goal of our study was to increase the solubility as well as dissolution rate of CA using the simple and cost-effective solid dispersion (SD) method. At first, the SD formulations of CA were prepared at various weight ratios of Carplex-67 and PEG-4000 by solvent evaporation technique. These new formulations were then subjected to an in-vitro drug release performance study and tested for physicochemical characterization to distinguish the thermal behavior, crystallinity, interactions phenomena, and surface morphology. Among the formulated Cefuroxime Axetil Solid Dispersion (CSD), CSD-8 which contained CA, Carplex-67, and PEG-4000 at the weight ratio 1:3:2, respectively showed the most significant (p in-vitro dissolution in water, Gastric Simulated Fluid (GSF), and Intestinal Simulated Fluid (ISF). This study also showed a significant (p < 0.001) increase in drug release compared to the marketed product. Therefore, it is supposed to be a promising alternative to conventional antimicrobial therapy.展开更多

The ...The influence of surface dissolution on flotation separation of fine ilmenite from titanaugite was investigated through infrared spectroscopic （FT-IR） analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） test. The results show that surface dissolution in weak acid solution is helpful to enlarge the floatability difference between ilmenite and titanaugite. In weak acidic solution, as sodium oleate mainly interacts with Fe which results in ilmenite flotation, and surface dissolution is beneficial to its oxidation, the floatability of ilmenite after surface dissolution is increased; meanwhile, sodium oleate interacts with Ca and Mg which results in titanangite flotation, and the quantities of Ca and Mg on the surface of titanautite are decreased due to the surface dissolution, so the floatability of titanaugite after surface dissolution is depressed. For an ilmenite ore obtained from Panzhihua with TiO2 grade of 8.41%, flotation after surface dissolution treatment could increase TiO2 grade of rough concentrate from 26.7% to 31.73 %.展开更多

Bornite was mu...The electrochemical dissolution process of chalcopyrite and bornite in acid bacteria culture medium was investigated by electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） analysis. Bornite was much easier to be oxidized rather than to be reduced, and chalcopyrite was difficult to be both oxidized and reduced. The relatively higher copper extraction of bornite dissolution can be attributed to its higher oxidation rate. Covellite（CuS） was detected as the intermediate species during the dissolution processes of both bornite and chalcopyrite. Bornite dissolution was preferred to be a direct oxidation pathway, in which bornite was directly oxidized to covellite（CuS） and cupric ions, and the formed covellite（CuS） may inhibit the further dissolution. Chalcopyrite dissolution was preferred to be a continuous reduction-oxidation pathway, in which chalcopyrite was initially reduced to bornite, then oxidized to covellite（CuS）, and the initial reduction reaction was the rate-limiting step.展开更多

The results show that the size of single crystal of gibbsite in gibbsitic bauxite is smaller than that in pure gibbsite, but the interplanar distance is larger than that of pure gibbsite, which result in more defects in the crystal and less energy needed to dissolve in alkaline solution for the gibbsitic bauxite. The dissolution kinetic equations of gibbsitic bauxite and pure gibbsite were established, and the corresponding activation energies were calculated to be 99.144 and 115.149 k J/mol, respectively.展开更多

文摘The dissolution behavior of complex inclusions in refining slag was studied using confocal laser scanning microscope.Based on the dissolution curve of complex inclusions,the main rate-limiting link of CaO-SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)complex inclusions was the diffusion in the molten slag.The dissolution rate of CaO-SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)complex inclusions was affected by the composition and size of inclusion.The functional relationship between the dimensionless inclusion capacity(Zh)and the dimensionless dissolution rate(Ry)of CaO-SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)complex inclusions was calculated as Ry=2.10×10^(-6)Zh^(0.160),while it was Ry=2.10×10^(-6)Zh^(0.0087)for Al_(2)O_(3)-CaO complex inclusions.On this basis,the complete dissolution time and rate of the complex inclusions were calculated by using the function relation between the Zh and Ry numbers.

文摘Global coral reef ecosystems have been severely degraded due to the combined effects of climate change and human activities.Changes in the seawater carbonate system of coral reef ecosystems can reflect their status and their responses to the impacts of climate change and human activities.Winter and summer surveys in 2019 found that the ecological community of the Luhuitou coral reef flat was dominated by macroalgae and corals,respectively,contrasting with the conditions 10 years ago.The Luhuitou fringing reefs were sources of atmospheric CO_(2) in both seasons.In winter,the daily variation range of dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC)in Luhuitou coral reefs was up to 450μmol/kg,while that of total alkalinity(TA)was only 68μmol/kg.This indicated that the organic production was significantly higher than the calcification process during this period.The TA/DIC was approximately 0.15,which was less than half of that in healthy coral reefs;hence,photosynthesis-respiration processes were the most important factors controlling daily changes in the seawater carbonate system.The net community production(NCP)of the Luhuitou coral reef ecosystem in winter was as high as 47.65 mmol C/(m^(2)·h).While the net community calcification(NCC)was approximately 3.35 and-4.15 mmol CaCO_(3)/(m^(2)·h)during the daytime and nighttime respectively.Therefore,the NCC for the entire day was-21.9 mmol CaCO_(3)/(m^(2)·d),indicating a net autotrophic dissolved state.In summer,the acidification was enhanced by thunderstorms and heavy rain with the highest seawater partial pressure of CO_(2)(p CO_(2))and lowest pH T.Over the past 10 years,the increase rate of seawater p CO_(2) in Luhuitou reef was approximately 13.3μatm/a***,six times that of the open ocean,while the decrease rate of pH was approximately 0.0083/a,being five times that of the global ocean.These findings underscore the importance of protecting and restoring Luhuitou fringing reef,as well as similar reefs worldwide.

文摘In a hydrogen-rich blast furnace,an increased coke load accentuates the support skeleton role of coke,particularly in the cohesive and dripping zones following partial dissolution with slag.To investigate the dissolution behaviours of coke in these regions,coke samples were gasified in a N2-CO-CO_(2)-H_(2)-H_(2)O atmosphere,simulating hydrogen-rich blast furnace conditions.Subsequently,the dissolution of gasified coke with slag containing FeO was analysed.The influence of coke gasification degree and FeO concentration in slag on coke dissolution was examined.The results showed that both higher coke gasification degrees and increased FeO content accelerate coke mass loss and exacerbate surface degradation upon dissolution,while effects on the internal structure of coke remain relatively minor,especially regarding FeO concentration.Additionally,hydrogen-rich gasification raised the graphitisation level of coke,with dissolution further enhancing the graphitisation of gasified coke.

文摘This work investigated the original microstructure of cold-worked alumina-forming austenitic steel,along with its precipitation and dissolution corrosion behaviors in lead-bismuth eutectic with 10-8 wt.%oxygen at 600℃,using solution-annealed steel for comparison.Anomalously,cold-worked steel presented milder corrosion compared to solution-annealed steel,with average corrosion depths of 314.3 and 401.0μm after 1700 h exposure.Cold working-induced de-twinning transformed the annealing twin boundaries into normal high-angle grain boundaries(NGBs),increasing NGBs proportion from 36%to 89%.The increased NGBs provided more nucleation sites for intergranular barriers composed of alternate NiAl and M23C6 precipitates,thus better obstructing the dissolution attack.

文摘Natural phosphates(Apatite)are the main sources of phosphorus,one of the three major chemical elements for plant development.The present work aims to study the efficiency of dissolution of natural phosphate from Togo during composting of a mixture of this ore with different types of vegetal matter.Phospho-composts of mixtures of ore and cow dung(A+P),poultry droppings(B+P),nymphea(C+P),domestic organic waste(D+P)and vegetal organic composts without phosphate(A,B,C and D)were elaborated.Determination of available phosphorus concentrations by the colorimetry method(HACH DR 3800)in composts and phospho-composts was realized.Analysis results revealed that organic matter has a solubilizing effect on natural phosphate.Nymphea phospho-compost has the best ore dissolved because its assimilable phosphorus content is the highest(0.88%).These results also showed that phosphocomposts maturation time has a beneficial effect on the ore dissolution.

文摘Magnesium implants have received widespread attention in orthopaedic surgery.However,the mechanical degradation and concurrent inflammation caused by the rapid corrosion of Mg limits their applications.In this study,a kind of unique core-shell heterojunction CuS@PPy nanostructures was synthesized and then incorporated in polycaprolactone(PCL)to construct an intelligent coating(CuS@PPy/PCL)on micro-arc-oxidized Mg implants.The PCL-based coating can realize near-infrared(NIR)-driven antibacterial and controllable Mg dissolution according to different bone healing stages.At the beginning of bone remodelling,the coating exhibits promising antibacterial properties with 99.67%and 99.17%efficacy against S.aureus and E.coli,respectively,thanks to the singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))and alkoxyl radicals(RO·)generated by the photodynamic effect of CuS@PPy heterojunction under low-power NIR light(1.5 W/cm^(2)).In the bone reparative stage,the PCL-based coating can maintain high corrosion resistance to meet the mechanical requirements of Mg implants in human body fluid.However,after the complete rehabilitation of bones,through a high-power(2 W/cm^(2))NIR light,the PCL-based coating changed from an elastic to a viscous flow state(44.7℃)under the photothermal effects of CuS@PPy,leading to quick degradation of the PCL-based coating and following accelerating dissolution of the Mg implant(avoiding secondary surgery).Hopefully,this NIR-responsive coating may provide an innovative method for the antibacterial and controllable dissolution of Mg implants.

文摘Complex physical and chemical reactions during CO_(2)sequestration alter the microscopic pore structure of geological formations,impacting sequestration stability.To investigate CO_(2)sequestration dynamics,comprehensive physical simulation experiments were conducted under varied pressures,coupled with assessments of changes in mineral composition,ion concentrations,pore morphology,permeability,and sequestration capacity before and after experimentation.Simultaneously,a method using NMR T2spectra changes to measure pore volume shift and estimate CO_(2)sequestration is introduced.It quantifies CO_(2)needed for mineralization of soluble minerals.However,when CO_(2)dissolves in crude oil,the precipitation of asphaltene compounds impairs both seepage and storage capacities.Notably,the impact of dissolution and precipitation is closely associated with storage pressure,with a particularly pronounced influence on smaller pores.As pressure levels rise,the magnitude of pore alterations progressively increases.At a pressure threshold of 25 MPa,the rate of change in small pores due to dissolution reaches a maximum of 39.14%,while precipitation results in a change rate of-58.05%for small pores.The observed formation of dissolution pores and micro-cracks during dissolution,coupled with asphaltene precipitation,provides crucial insights for establishing CO_(2)sequestration parameters and optimizing strategies in low permeability reservoirs.

文摘Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))entails the long-term storage of captured emissions from CCUS(Carbon Capture,Utilization,and Storage)facilities in deep saline aquifers to mitigate greenhouse gas accumulation.Among various trapping mechanisms,dissolution trapping is particularly effective in enhancing storage security.However,the stratified structure of saline aquifers plays a crucial role in controlling the efficiency of CO_(2) dissolution into the resident brine.In this study,a two-dimensional numerical model of a stratified saline aquifer is developed,integrating both two-phase flow and mass transfer dynamics.The model captures the temporal evolution of gas saturation,reservoir pressure,and CO_(2) dissolution behavior under varying geological and operational conditions.Specifically,the effects of porosity heterogeneity,permeability distribution,and injection rate on the dissolution process are examined,and sequestration efficiencies across distinct stratigraphic layers are compared.Simulation results reveal that in the early phase of CO_(2) injection,the plume spreads radially along the lower portion of the aquifer.With continued injection,high-saturation regions expand upward and eventually accumulate beneath the shale and caprock layers.Pressure within the reservoir rises in response to CO_(2) injection,propagating both vertically and laterally.CO_(2) migration and dissolution are strongly influenced by reservoir properties,with progressive dissolution occurring in the pore spaces of individual layers.High-porosity zones favor CO_(2) accumulation and enhance local dissolution,whereas low-porosity regions facilitate vertical diffusion.An increase in porosity from 0.25 to 0.30 reduces the radial extent of dissolution in the high-permeability layer by 16.5%.Likewise,increasing permeability promotes radial dispersion;each 10 mD increment extends the CO_(2) dissolution front by approximately 18 m.Elevated injection rates intensify both vertical and lateral plume migration:every 0.25×10^(−6) m/s increase in rate yields an average 100–120 m increase in radial dissolution distance within high-permeability zones.

文摘The dissolution behaviors of lime,limestone,and core–shell structured lime,as well as their effects on dephosphorization behavior were studied.The results show that the slow dissolution of lime in converter slag is mainly attributed to the calcium silicate layer at the lime/slag interface.CO_(2)generated by CaCO_(3)decomposition can destroy the calcium silicate layer,and thus accelerates the dissolution of limestone and core–shell structured lime.However,in the initial stage,a large amount of CO_(2)emission generated by limestone decomposition results in the poor contact between molten slag and limestone,and the dissolution rate is slower in the test of limestone than that of lime.For core–shell structured lime,the initial dissolution rate is not affected due to the lime surface,and is accelerated by the appropriate CO_(2)emission.Rapid CaO pickup in molten slag by fast dissolution of the lime sample can remarkably accelerate the dephosphorization reaction.Because of the fastest dissolution rate,the core–shell structured lime slagging mode shows the most promising prospects for the efficient dephosphorization.

文摘The commercial ZK 60 magnesium alloy with extruded state experienced aging heat treatment(T 6)was dynamically loaded at strain rate of 3000 s−1 by means of the split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)in this paper.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)observations showed that the precipitatedβ′_(1) phases partially dissolved(spheroidized)with blurred interfaces within 160μs at 3000 s^(−1).The average length and diameter of the rod-shapedβ′_(1) phase particles were 48.5 and 9.8 nm after the T 6 heat treatment;while the average diameter of the sphericalβ′_(1) phases changed to 8.8 nm after loading.The deformedβ′_(1) phase generated larger lattice distortion energy than Mg matrix under high strain rate loading.Therefore,the difference of free energy(the driving force of dissolution)between theβ′_(1) phase and the matrix increased,making the instantaneous dissolution of theβ′_(1) phase thermodynamically feasible.The dissolution(spheroidization)of theβ′_(1) phase particles was kinetically promoted because the diffusion rate of the solute Zn atoms was accelerated by combined actions of adiabatic temperature rise,high density of dislocations(vacancies)and high deviatoric stresses during high strain rate loading.The increase in hardness of ZK 60-T 6 alloy could be attributed to solid solution strengthening,dislocation strengthening and second phase particle strengthening.

文摘Dissolution kinetics of CaO·2Al_(2)O_(3)(CA_(2))particles in a synthetic CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)steelmaking slag system have been investigated using the high-temperature confocal laser scanning microscope.Effects of temperature(i.e.,1500,1550,and 1600℃)and slag composition on the dissolution time of CA_(2)particles are investigated,along with the time dependency of the projection area of the particle during the dissolution process.It is found that the dissolution rate was enhanced by either an increase in temperature or a decrease in slag viscosity.Moreover,a higher ratio of CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)(C/A)leads to an increased dissolution rate of CA_(2)particle at 1600℃.Thermodynamic calculations suggested the dissolution product,i.e.,melilite,formed on the surface of the CA_(2)particle during dissolution in slag with a C/A ratio of 3.8 at 1550℃.Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis of as-quenched samples confirmed the dissolution path of CA_(2)particles in slags with C/A ratios of 1.8 and 3.8 as well as the melilite formed on the surface of CA_(2)particle.The formation of this layer during the dissolution process was identified as a hindrance,impeding the dissolution of CA_(2)particle.A valuable reference for designing or/and choosing the composition of top slag for clean steel production is provided,especially using calcium treatment during the secondary refining process.

文摘Copper-nickel tailings(CNTs),consisting of more than 80wt%magnesium-bearing silicate minerals,show great potential for CO_(2)mineral sequestration.The dissolution kinetics of CNTs in HCl solution was investigated through a leaching experiment and kinetic modeling,and the effects of reaction time,HCl concentration,solid-to-liquid ratio,and reaction temperature on the leaching rate of mag-nesium were comprehensively studied.Results show that the suitable leaching conditions for magnesium in CNTs are 2 M HCl,a solid-to-liquid ratio of 50 g·L^(−1),and 90℃,at which the maximum leaching rate of magnesium is as high as 83.88%.A modified shrinking core model can well describe the leaching kinetics of magnesium.The dissolution of magnesium was dominated by a combination of chemical reaction and product layer diffusion,with a calculated apparent activation energy of 77.51 kJ·mol^(−1).This study demonstrates the feasibil-ity of using CNTs as a media for CO_(2)mineral sequestration.

文摘Tufa is an important type of landscape in karst regions.In recent years,the loss of landscape diversity due to tufa dissolution is affecting the stability of local ecosystems.Therefore,determining the factors and their mechanisms involved in tufa dissolution is important for preserving regional landscape diversity and local ecosystem stability.In this study,we selected four tufa sites with different degrees of dissolution(undissolved tufa,lightly dissolved tufa,moderately dissolved tufa,and heavily dissolved tufa)in Xiangzhigou karst region of Guizhou Province as the study objects.We explored the effects of natural plant colonization on tufa dissolution using changes inαandβdiversity indices,soil physicochemical indicators,tufa components,and tufa substrate.The results indicated that the Shannon-wiener index,Simpson index and Patrick richness index gradually increased with tufa's increasing degree of dissolution.Additionally,the dissolution degree exhibited a significantly negative correlation with the species diversity(p<0.05).Natural vegetation colonization is the primary cause of changes in the proportion of tufa components and changes in the physicochemical properties of overlying tufa soils.The proportion of CaO components decreased significantly,and the proportion of loss on ignition components increased significantly.Soil organic carbon,pH,total nitrogen,available nitrogen,total phosphorus,available phosphorus,total potassium,available potassium,β-glucosidase,and urease gradually increased with deeper tufa dissolution and were negatively correlated with the degree of dissolution(p<0.05).It indicates that tufa is a process of dissolution into the soil and gradual improvement of the physicochemical properties of the overlying soil.Furthermore,scanning electron micrographs revealed the transition from dense to fragmented tufa structure under the influence of plants.In conclusion,this study found that improving plant diversity exacerbated tufa dissolution.Our findings provide a theoretical reference for the preventing and controlling of tufa dissolution in karst.
文摘Cefuroxime Axetil (CA) a widely used cephalosporin antibiotic displays low aqueous solubility and high membrane penetrability. This results in its solubility driven variable and/or low oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy as a major drawback. Thus, most of the goal of our study was to increase the solubility as well as dissolution rate of CA using the simple and cost-effective solid dispersion (SD) method. At first, the SD formulations of CA were prepared at various weight ratios of Carplex-67 and PEG-4000 by solvent evaporation technique. These new formulations were then subjected to an in-vitro drug release performance study and tested for physicochemical characterization to distinguish the thermal behavior, crystallinity, interactions phenomena, and surface morphology. Among the formulated Cefuroxime Axetil Solid Dispersion (CSD), CSD-8 which contained CA, Carplex-67, and PEG-4000 at the weight ratio 1:3:2, respectively showed the most significant (p in-vitro dissolution in water, Gastric Simulated Fluid (GSF), and Intestinal Simulated Fluid (ISF). This study also showed a significant (p < 0.001) increase in drug release compared to the marketed product. Therefore, it is supposed to be a promising alternative to conventional antimicrobial therapy.

文摘The influence of surface dissolution on flotation separation of fine ilmenite from titanaugite was investigated through infrared spectroscopic （FT-IR） analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） test. The results show that surface dissolution in weak acid solution is helpful to enlarge the floatability difference between ilmenite and titanaugite. In weak acidic solution, as sodium oleate mainly interacts with Fe which results in ilmenite flotation, and surface dissolution is beneficial to its oxidation, the floatability of ilmenite after surface dissolution is increased; meanwhile, sodium oleate interacts with Ca and Mg which results in titanangite flotation, and the quantities of Ca and Mg on the surface of titanautite are decreased due to the surface dissolution, so the floatability of titanaugite after surface dissolution is depressed. For an ilmenite ore obtained from Panzhihua with TiO2 grade of 8.41%, flotation after surface dissolution treatment could increase TiO2 grade of rough concentrate from 26.7% to 31.73 %.

文摘The electrochemical dissolution process of chalcopyrite and bornite in acid bacteria culture medium was investigated by electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） analysis. Bornite was much easier to be oxidized rather than to be reduced, and chalcopyrite was difficult to be both oxidized and reduced. The relatively higher copper extraction of bornite dissolution can be attributed to its higher oxidation rate. Covellite（CuS） was detected as the intermediate species during the dissolution processes of both bornite and chalcopyrite. Bornite dissolution was preferred to be a direct oxidation pathway, in which bornite was directly oxidized to covellite（CuS） and cupric ions, and the formed covellite（CuS） may inhibit the further dissolution. Chalcopyrite dissolution was preferred to be a continuous reduction-oxidation pathway, in which chalcopyrite was initially reduced to bornite, then oxidized to covellite（CuS）, and the initial reduction reaction was the rate-limiting step.

文摘The influence of initial pH on the chalcopyrite oxidation dissolution at 65 ℃ was investigated by bioleaching and cyclic voltammetiy experiments,and the oxidation products were investigated by XRD and Raman spectroscopy.Bioleaching results show that chalcopyrite dissolution rate increases with the decrease of the initial pH in chemical leaching,while the influence of initial pH on bioleaching is on the contrary.The presence of Acidianus manzaensis does not promote chalcopyrite dissolution under initial pH1.0,which mainly results from serious inhibition of high acidity to the growth of Acidianus manzaensis.Electrochemical experiments results show that anodic oxidation currents of electrolyte with or without Acidianus manzaensis both increase with the increase of initial pH,and covellite and sulfur are detected on the electrode surface.The results confirm that chalcopyrite dissolution in chemical leaching is under the combined action of oxidation and non-oxidation of proton,with conversion of chalcopyrite to covellite and elemental sulfur.

文摘The crystal structure, morphology, dissolution kinetics and mechanism of gibbsitic bauxite and pure gibbsite in Na OH solution under atmospheric pressure were systematically investigated by XRD and SEM. The results show that the size of single crystal of gibbsite in gibbsitic bauxite is smaller than that in pure gibbsite, but the interplanar distance is larger than that of pure gibbsite, which result in more defects in the crystal and less energy needed to dissolve in alkaline solution for the gibbsitic bauxite. The dissolution kinetic equations of gibbsitic bauxite and pure gibbsite were established, and the corresponding activation energies were calculated to be 99.144 and 115.149 k J/mol, respectively.
