The effect of pH, TOPO concentration, medium, stirring time and the amount of sails added on the distribution of lanthanides between two phases were investigated. Two different compositions Ln(H2O)(t-2) (TOPO)(2)(OH)(2)NO3 (Ln=Nd and Sm) and Ln(H2O)(s-1) (TOPO)(2)(OH)(NO3)(2) (Ln=Tb and Yb) were determined by slope analysis method. The equilibrium extraction constant K-ex and pH(1/2) value were calculated and the thermodynamic parameters were obtained from the dependence of K-ex on the temperature.展开更多
The paraffin wax was used as an organic solvent for 1 phenyl 3 methyl 4 benzoyl 5 pyrazolone (PMBP) and trioctylphousphine oxide (TOPO) in the extraction of rare earth ions (La 3+ , Pr 3+ , Eu 3+ , ...The paraffin wax was used as an organic solvent for 1 phenyl 3 methyl 4 benzoyl 5 pyrazolone (PMBP) and trioctylphousphine oxide (TOPO) in the extraction of rare earth ions (La 3+ , Pr 3+ , Eu 3+ , Yb 3+ and Ho 3+ ) at 70℃. The composition of the extracted specices were given as RE(PMBP) 3(TOPO) 2 by means of slope analysis. The variation of the synergistic extraction equilibrium constant ( K sex ) was studied at 55℃～70℃. The thermodynamic data obtained showed that the synergistic extraction of rare earth ions by PMBP and TOPO in molten paraffin wax is exothermic and the extracted complexes were formed by TOPO bonding to the outer sphere hydration.展开更多

C using paraffin wax as a diluent. Theextraction percentage is greater than 85/100 in the pH range of 6 to8. The result of slope analysis method indicates that thecompositions of the extracted species are different between the lightand heavy rare ear this. The formula of the extracted species isfound to be La (TBP) (OH) (Ac)_2 for La^3+ and Yb (TBP) (OH)_3 forYb^3+. The effects of extracting time, the concentration of TBP inthe organic phase and salts on the extraction efficiency were alsodiscussed.展开更多

However, the use of synthetic dyes as staining reagents has been associated with significant human health challenges and pollution of the ecosystem. These developments have necessitated a shift towards using natural dyes that are eco-friendlier and readily available. We investigated the staining reaction patterns of teak tree leaves (Tectona grandis) dye extracts and explored their suitability as a cytoplasmic stain in micromorphological assessments. Dye extracts were prepared using acetone, methanol, and ethanol as solvents from air-dried (under shade) teak tree young leaves. The dye extracts were applied as a counterstain and evaluated against eosin in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) bovine tissue sections at varying concentrations and different staining times. Teak tree leaves (Tectona grandis) dye extracts produced relatively varying staining intensities of reddish-brown cytoplasmic coloration when used on bovine tissue at different concentrations and staining times comparable to eosin and with blue-purple hematoxylin nuclear stain. The present study showed that Tectona grandis leaf dye extracts provide an excellent cytoplasmic staining pattern and can be used as an alternative counterstain in routine H&E staining techniques.展开更多
