This work investigates the separation of gallium and arsenic from the wafer grinding extraction solution. The wafer grinding extraction solution was generated using hot and concentrated nitric acid. In this study, adsorption technology was employed to remove the toxic arsenic from the extraction solution. Ferric hydroxide was the adsorbent employed to adsorb arsenic. The effects of pH value, contact time, absorbent dosage, and chloride ion concentration on the efficiency of adsorption of gallium and arsenic were investigated. The optimal conditions for recovering gallium and removing arsenic were a raw pH of 0.2, a contact time of 6min and a ferric hydroxide concentration of 30.4g/L. Additionally, adding chloric ions reduces the residual percentage of gallium (ReGa) and the percentage of arsenic removed (RAs). Under these optimal conditions, ReGa and RAs are 100 and 80%, respectively.

Purpose Of Review: A major contributor to household air pollution (HAP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unclean cooking fuel. Improved cookstove technology (ICT) interventions have been promoted as a solution, but their impacts on health are unclear. Our aim is to conduct a systematic review to explore the impacts of ICT interventions on health outcomes in SSA.

Understanding the dynamic pathophysiology of diseases in the lung, such as asthma and chronic asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer, is crucial for the treatment, analysis, and outcome of these diseases. Unlike other traditional models, we suggest a protocol that is sustainable and reproducible and offers different analysis methods while maintaining in vivo lung architecture and immune dynamics. This protocol allows one to study the pathophysiological changes, including changes to the immune cells, cytokines, and mediators, in 30 precision-cut lung slices from a single murine lung.

This study was focused on the development of ZnO nanostructures for the efficient oxidation of erythrosine dye and for studying the antibacterial activity of ZnO. It was observed that the phytochemicals from leaves modified the size, shape, crystalline properties and surface chemical composition of the ZnO nanostructures. ZnO nanostructures synthesized with 15 mL leaves extract (S-15) demonstrated highly efficient oxidation of erythrosine dye under the illumination of natural sunlight.

The valid method was developed for analyzing empagliflozin in serum/plasma/urine using a molecularly imprinted ghost polymer-solid-phase extraction approach (MISPE) with liquid chromatographic methodology. Methacrylic acid (MAA) was used as the monomer, 2,2 azobis isobutyronitrile as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker in the free radical polymerization procedure. Empagliflozin was loaded onto the polymer and eluted with 1 mL of a 9:1 MeOH:acetic acid solution.
