In this study, rods of magnesium alloy and titanium alloy were cut to have similar height of about 5mm and size of 10 mm × 10 mm to fabricate three Mg-Ti couples. The Mg-Ti couple was heat treated at 540 °C, 570 °C, and 600 °C. The corrosion of these couples have been investigated and compared with AZ31 alloy. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were employed to study the corrosion behavior after 1.0 h and 48 h exposure to 3.5% NaCl solutions. The morphology of surfaces was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the profile analysis was collected using an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyzer after 5 days immersion in the chloride solutions. It is found that coupling Mg with Ti reduces the corrosion of AZ31 alloy, which further decreased with the increase of the temperature of treatment. Prolonging the time of exposure from 1.0 h to 48 h remarkably decreased the corrosion of the couples as well.

Unlabelled: The heat of mixing of some petrological relevant substitutions (i.e., Mg-Al, Si-Al, Mg-Ti, Mg-Ca, and Mg-Fe) was investigated systematically in silicates, titanates, tungstates, carbonates, oxides, hydroxides, and sulphates by density functional theory calculations (e.

Non-exhaust emissions are becoming of increasing significance with respect to total particulate matter (PM) concentrations in ambient air. Of particular interest is the metal content of this PM since metallic compounds are well known to have toxic effects on human health and the environment. In this study, 'bottom-up' annual tyre wear emission rates were estimated and compared to top-down' emissions declared by the UK; it was calculated that between 14 and 25 tonnes of Zn entered the atmosphere in PM in 2020.

Trace elements are found in most drugs as a result of the drug formulation and drug production methods. An inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry method for the determination of 24 trace elements (Mg, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sb, Ba, Ir, Pt, Au, and Pb) in solid ibuprofen tablets was established in relation to the ICH Q3D(R1) guideline, to evaluate the possibility of linking trace elemental profiles to drug formulation strategies, and to differentiate between drug products based on the trace elemental profiles. Ten European ibuprofen drug products were evaluated (n=3).

Rationale: Zinc isotopes are becoming increasingly applicable in high-temperature geochemistry, for example in crust-mantle interaction and volatilization-related processes. The published zinc isotope data for some commonly used reference materials, however, show large interlaboratory offsets. In addition, there is still limited data for zinc isotope compositions of many widely used geological reference materials.

It is distinguished that deficient outdoor air quality is responsible for substantial health and climate issues. The aim of our study was to investigate the air quality in the city of Zaragoza (Spain) by characterizing atmospheric particulate matter (PM) during two seasons (winter and spring). PM samples were collected in 2022 in quartz filters through a low-volume sampler and chemically analysed by complementary analytical techniques: Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Raman Spectroscopy (RS) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS).
