Abstract

Disposal of the environmentally dangerous metal oxide suspensions from the waste water is an essential problem. The polymers adsorption can be one of the most effective and suitable methods. In the presented paper the ionic diblock copolymers impact on the Cr2O3 suspensions was investigated. The copolymer adsorption layers structure was determined on the basis of the adsorption and electrokinetic (surface charge density and zeta potential) tests. The polymers adsorption amount was measured using the static method from aqueous solutions. Additionally, the application of the turbidimetric method enabled determination of the interactions between the system constituents. Analysis of this data allows the estimation of the most probable stabilization (or destabilization) mechanism of the Cr2O3 suspensions in the presence of the studied macromolecular compounds. Hence, the Cr2O3 suspensions are unstable in the presence of the anionic copolymer at pH 3 and the cationic one in the alkaline medium.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
