Steel structures significantly degrades owing to corrosion especially in coastal and industrial areas where significant amounts of aggressive ions are present. Therefore, anodic metals such as Al and Zn are used to protect steel. In the present study, we provide insights for the corrosion mechanism and kinetics of Al-Zn pseudo alloy coating deposited on mild steel plate via an arc thermal spraying process in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution in terms of its improved corrosion resistance properties at prolonged exposure durations. Electrochemical studies including open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on the deposited coating at longer exposure durations revealed enhanced corrosion resistance properties while the morphology of corrosion products through field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) indicated their compactness and adherence. Furthermore, atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed reduced roughness when compared with that of unexposed coating. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy results confirmed the formation of protective, adherent, and sparingly soluble Simonkolleite (Zn(OH)Cl.HO) after 55 d of exposure in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. A schematic is proposed that explains the corrosion process of Al-Zn pseudo alloy coating in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution from the deposition of coating and initiation of corrosion to longer exposure durations.

Technical alkaline lignin (TAL)-based composite films have been developed for anti-corrosion applications, during which one-component solvents, including acetone and ethanol, were employed. The poor solubility of TAL in the abovementioned solvents undoubtedly resulted in inhomogeneous surface micromorphology and the consequent unstable performance. The present study provides a series of ethylcellulose/TAL (EC/TAL) composite films with uniform surface microstructure by using the 1,4-dioxane/water binary solvent.

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are the main enzymes handling bicarbonate in the different cell compartments. This study analyses the expression of CAs in roots of Arabidopsis thaliana demes differing in tolerance to bicarbonate: the tolerant A1 deme and the sensitive deme, T6. Exposure to 10 mM NaCl caused a transient depolarization of the root cell membranes, and in contrast, the supply of 10 mM NaHCO caused hyperpolarization.

The protein transition motivates the use of plant proteins, but their application in food emulsions is challenging, especially when high concentrations of oil and salt are needed for formulation and sensory properties. In the present work, we connect the iso-electric point of two potato protein isolates (patatin-rich, POPI-200; protease inhibitor-rich, POPI-300) and a faba protein isolate (FPI) to the behavior in the bulk phase and at the interface, and relate this to the physical stability of 45 wt% oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in the presence of NaCl at pH 4.0-7.

Superabsorbent polymers can be used to alleviate water scarcity and improve soil salinization. In this study, a superabsorbent polymer TG-g-PAA /BTCA was prepared by grafting acrylic acid to tragacanth gum (TG) with 1,2,3, 4-butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) as crosslinking agent. The polymer can also effectively improve fertilizer utilization and reduce soil surface salinity.
