Basic principles and problems in decontamination of natural disperse systems. The electrokinetic treatment of soils.

The main chemical, biological and physical methods of deactivation of such natural disperse systems as soils and bottom sediments from charged and uncharged pollutants are analyzed. The impact of properties of natural disperse systems and the substances causing their contamination on the expediency of using some specific detoxication method is considered. The peculiarities of ex-situ and in-situ treatment are indicated.

A Multistate Adsorption Model for the Characterization of CDMPO Adsorption Layers at the Aqueous Solution/Air Interface.

Experimental data for tridecyl dimethyl phosphine oxide (CDMPO) adsorption layers at the water/air interface, including equilibrium surface tension and surface dilational viscoelasticity, are measured by bubble and drop profile analysis tensiometry at different solution concentrations and surface area oscillation frequencies. The results are used to assess the applicability of a multistate model with more than two possible adsorption states. For the experiments with single drops, the depletion of surfactant molecules due to adsorption at the drop surface is taken into account.

Biochemical responses of freshwater mussel Unio tumidus to titanium oxide nanoparticles, Bisphenol A, and their combination.

Multiple interactions between different pollutants in the surface waters can cause unpredictable consequences. The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effect of two widespread xenobiotics, titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO) and bisphenol A (BPA), on freshwater bivalve Unio tumidus. The specimens were exposed for 14 days to TiCl (Ti, 1.

[Influence of treatment with olmesartan on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters in patients with arterial hypertension].

Hypertension is the most common disease of the cardiovascular system. Active treatment of hypertension with adequate control of blood pressure (BP) can prevent complications, improve life quality and increase life expectancy. One of the interesting new antihypertensive agents, from the group of angiotensin receptor blockers is olmesartan.

The analytical model of nanoparticle recovery by microflotation.

A model of collision and collection of Brownian submicron particles based on the creation of a convective-diffusion layer near a bubble surface and overcoming the energy barrier created by particle/bubble interaction is developed. Simple analytical expressions describing the rate of collision and collection efficiency are obtained. The collision and collection minimums and the limits of theory applicability are analysed.
