Gallium recovery from red mud: Integration of solvent extraction and siderophore assisted technologies.

Gallium (Ga) recovery from the red mud, though important has never been successful due to several technical and economic reasons such as contaminant interference and the high cost of membranes due to their faster saturation resulting in the clogging of membranes with contaminants. This study demonstrated the recovery of Ga by a combination of HCl-based leaching, Fe/Al/Ti separation, and recovery of Ga using Cyphos IL 104-based solvent extraction and complexation of Ga with desferrioxamine B as a proof-of-principle of the GaLIophore technology. The main leaching parameters such as concentrations of acids, time and temperature of the reaction, and solid-to-liquid ratio have been systematically investigated.

Exploring Differentially Expressed Sperm miRNAs in Idiopathic Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Their Association with Early Embryonic Development.

The high incidence of idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (iRPL) may stem from the limited research on male contributory factors. Many studies suggest that sperm DNA fragmentation and oxidative stress contribute to iRPL, but their roles are still debated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate various biological processes by modulating gene expression.

Recovery of lithium and copper from anode electrode materials of spent LIBs by acidic leaching.

In view of the importance of environmental protection and resource recovery, recycling of spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is quite necessary. In the present study, lithium and copper are recycled to lithium carbonate and copper oxide from anode electrode material of the spent LIBs. The anode electrode material is firstly treated with hydrochloric acid to leach lithium (96.

Menace of hepatitis E in pregnancy: unleashing the threat of fulminant liver failure.

This case report presents a primigravida in her 20s with a history of seizure disorder and chronic cholecystitis, who presented at 30 weeks and 6 days of gestation with upper abdominal pain, fever and vomiting. Initially diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis, the patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, resulting in fetal demise and the development of severe complications. Subsequent investigations revealed an enlarged fatty liver and signs of acute liver failure.

Differential Sperm Proteomics Reveals the Significance of Fatty Acid Synthase and Clusterin in Idiopathic Recurrent Pregnancy Loss.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a pervasive health issue affecting a large number of couples globally, which leads to increased emotional and financial strain on the affected families. While female factors have been extensively studied and are well known, the contribution of male factors to RPL remains largely unknown. As high as 40% of RPL cases are unexplained, which are termed as idiopathic RPL (iRPL), necessitating the investigation of male factors.

Indium extraction from nitrate medium using Cyphos ionic liquid 104 and its mathematical modeling.

The treatment and recovery of pollutants in aquatic system is one of the greatest challenges for environmentalists throughout the world. In this study, solvent extraction of indium using phosphonium ionic liquid (Cyphos IL 104) as an extractant and its mathematical model was proposed for prediction of In(III) ion transport across a FSSLM (flat-sheet-supported liquid membrane). Solvent extraction experiments on indium have been carried out under various experimental conditions in order to assert some fundamental parameters using mathematical analysis for mass transfer process.

Recovery of pure germanium oxide from Zener diodes using a recyclable ionic liquid Cyphos IL 104.

A novel process is developed for the recovery of germanium from the leach liquor of Zener diodes using solvent extraction. Extraction is carried out using a phosphonium ionic liquid, Cyphos IL 104, as an extractant. Preliminary investigations carried out on Ge(IV) extraction using Cyphos IL 104 include influence of various parameters like temperature, equilibration time, and concentration of extractant, chloride ion, and acid on the distribution of Ge(IV).

Diagnostic and prognostic significance of serum soluble endoglin levels in preeclampsia and eclampsia.

Background: Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology that affects 4-5% of all pregnancies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum soluble endoglin (sEng) in preeclampsia and eclampsia and also to evaluate its prognostic significance.

Materials And Methods: This prospective case-control study carried out over a period of 1 year in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, King George Medical University, Lucknow.
