Record 1 2024-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nutritive Elements (Biological Sciences)
  • Dietetics
CONT

The body requires a number of minerals in order to maintain its proper functioning. The minerals are used for a variety of physiological processes such as building blood and bone, making hormones, regulating heartbeat, and more. There are two types of minerals. Macrominerals are needed in large amounts. Trace minerals are needed in very small amounts. The macrominerals are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. The trace minerals are iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.

OBS

Macrominerals are typically needed at levels higher than 100 mg [milligrams]/day ...

Record 6 2008-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
CONT

Among the organo soluble zinc salts which are particularly useful are zinc chloride, zinc naphthenate, and the organosoluble zinc salts of monocarboxylic alkenoic or alkanoic acids having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, including zinc caproate, zinc octoate, zinc laurate, zinc palmitate, zinc cuprate, zinc linoleate, zinc pentadecanonoate, and the like. The catalyst salts must be organosoluble. As the term is used herein, "organosoluble" means that the material has appreciable solubility, that is, at least about 0. 05% by weight, in common solvents such as ethanol, acetone, ether, methylethyl ketone, or hydrocarbons such as toluene, and must be soluble to a similar extent in the liquid reaction mixture which contains the blocked isocyanate.

CONT

The crosslinker may be water-soluble, water-dispersible, organ-dispersible, and/or organosoluble (i.e., readily soluble in an organic solvent).

Record 7 2003-10-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Procedure based on the formation of a diazo linkage between enzyme proteins and aryldiazonium electrophilic groups on the insoluble support. Supports containing aromatic amino groups are treated with sodium nitrite in acidic solutions and the resultant activated support reacts with aromatic residues such as the phenolic residue of L-tyrosine or the imidazole residue of L-histidine to give azo derivatives.

CONT

There are many commercial diazonium salts used as azo coupling reagents, which are usually in a stabilized form(a stable diazotate) produced by reaction with alkali(forming the free base) or with zinc chloride(forming a diazo double salt)... Diazonium ions are weak electrophiles; they react with highly reactive aromatic compounds-with phenols and tertiary aromatic amines-to yield azo compounds... Azo coupling of proteins can be effected by polymers containing aryldiazonium functional groups... Monomers containing aromatic nitro groups grafted onto polymers have been reduced, diazotized, and used to immobilize enzymes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

Bien avant que l'on ne songeât à immobiliser des enzymes à des fins industrielles, on savait [...] immobiliser les protéines que sont les anticorps, par diazotation, sans leur faire perdre leur activité biologique. Ce sont les développements de ces techniques qui ont permis l'apparition du génie enzymatique.

  • Waste Management
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

Pyrohydrolysis is a lixiviant regeneration process in which metal chlorides obtained from leaching either primary or secondary raw materials can be thermally decomposed into metal oxides and hydrogen chloride. Every metal chloride hydrolyses under different conditions, i. e. temperature and gas atmosphere, which opens up opportunities for metal separation. The separation of iron from zinc, lead and/or cadmium present as oxide, ferrite or silicate in both waste materials and ores through pyrohydrolysis is being investigated in both a tube furnace an a 100 mm diameter fluid bed.
