The color-changing phenomenon of hydrophobic bisazo dye, Sudan III in an acetonitrile solution against the addition of concentrated sulfuric acid has been discovered and the chromic properties investigated. Based on observations, a novel quantification method of concentrated sulfuric acid has been developed. Sudan III changes its color from orange to blue against a small volume of sulfuric acid, and the acetonitrile solution of Sudan III is the most suitable for observing the color-change phenomenon. (1)H-NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopic studies showed that the color-change mechanism of Sudan III against sulfuric acid is due to the protonation of the dye by sulfuric acid. This phenomenon is applicable to the quantification of concentrated sulfuric acid by introducing the Hammett acidity function. The proposed method requires only a small amount of the sample, 0.04 mL, and enables rapid quantification.

Knowledge of plant growth dynamics is essential where constraints such as COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have limited its field establishment. Thus, modeling can be used to predict plant performance where field planting/monitoring cannot be achieved. This study was conducted on the growth dynamics of rubber planted on two acid soils treated with either dolomitic limestone (GML), kieserite or Mg-rich synthetic gypsum (MRSG) to supply the Mg required by rubber seedlings.

Residual hyperglycemia after successful treatment of a patient with severe copper sulfate poisoning.

J Zhejiang Univ Sci B

December 2024

Department of Emergency Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310003, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Copper sulfate is commonly used in labs, with rare cases of poisoning; only 140 exposures were reported in a year, and five were intentional (Gummin et al., 2023).
  • Severe copper sulfate poisoning can lead to gastrointestinal injury, hemolysis, and muscle damage, but no long-term hyperglycemia has been previously reported.
  • This case study examines the treatment of a patient who ingested a large dose of copper sulfate, resulting in prolonged uncontrolled hyperglycemia and multiple organ dysfunction, stressing the need for careful monitoring and management post-poisoning.

Air Liquide, Brussels, Belgium. Electronic address:

The operation of a reverse osmosis (RO) system is often severely hindered by the deposition of inorganic scales such as calcium carbonate on the membrane surface. Mitigation of this scaling phenomenon requires suitable pH control strategies, with the use of strong mineral acids (e.g.
