Poliyoxometalales are a very special category of the chemical compounds that have multiply properties and possibility to application in a lot of actual domain of the scientific research. One of the most practice application of the polyoxometalates with a special significance is their antibacterial and anti fungus actions. For this study, there have been used fungus, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and the action of the polyoxometalates was tested simultaneously with the action of the specifically antibiotics for the studied bacteria. In order to determine the fungus and bacteria sensibility to the tested substance, there have been used three methods: two qualitative, diffusion methods (rondel and bucket methods) and one quantitative method (determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration-MIC). The results of the bucket method were similarly with ones obtained with the rondel method: only Staphylococcus aureus strains were sensitive to the sodium phosphotungstate. Using the quantitative method (MIC) have been emphasized that Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were sensitive in time to the studied substance.

This study reports the successful replacement of uranyl-based stains by either sodium phosphotungstate or ammonium molybdate in negative-staining electron microscopy. Using apoferritin as a test specimen, it is demonstrated that in combination with a facile on-grid fixation step, both stains yield comparable images to uranyl formate. Subsequently, using β-galactosidase, it is shown that both stains can also successfully be employed for single-particle analysis, yielding virtually indistinguishable results from uranyl formate.

Prion diseases such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and chronic wasting disease (CWD) affect domesticated and wild herbivorous mammals. Animals afflicted with CWD, the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cervids (deer, elk, and moose), shed prions into the environment, where they may persist and remain infectious for years. These environmental prions may remain in soil, be transported in surface waters, or assimilated into plants.

Using sodium lignosulfonate as feedstock, ZnCl and NaHCO co-activated the hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs) were prepared by one-pot pyrolysis with different NaHCO dosages (0-4 g) and carbonization temperatures (400-600 °C). Subsequently, phosphotungstate (HPW) was supported with the resulting biochar for the α-pinene hydration reaction to produce α-terpineol. The optimum preparation conditions were determined according to the yield of α-terpineol.

This study employed an ultrasound-assisted oxidative desulfurization process (UAOD) to investigate the degradation of three sulfurous compounds in the synthetic gas condensate. Various parameters, including oxidizers (hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide, potassium superoxide), promoters (formic acid, acetic acid), catalysts (phosphotungstic acid, ferrous(II) sulfate, zirconium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, aluminum oxide γ, copper(II) oxide), and phase transfer agents (isobutanol, tetraoctylammonium bromide, and tetra--butylammonium fluoride), were examined to identify the optimal combination for reducing sulfurous compounds in the UAOD process. The influence of the extraction stage and reactor vessel material on the desulfurization efficiency was also investigated.

Herein, we developed a new pencil graphite ion-selective electrode strategy for the broadly used erectile dysfunction medication, sildenafil citrate (SC, vitamin V), for its automated potentiometry and potentiometric titration profiling in marketed tablets and human urine samples. The method was based on ion-pair complexation between SC and sodium tetraphenylborate (Na-TPB) or phosphotungstic acid (PTA), embedded into a pencil-fabricated graphite sensor electrode coated with poly(vinyl chloride, PVC) matrix, which is pre-plasticized with two different pre-studied plasticizers. The modern fabricated electrodes have a proven fast near-Nernstian response for SC over the concentration range of 1.
