The mechanism of interaction between magnesite mineral and phosphoric acid (0.001-0.5 M) in addition to the determination of the protective properties for Ti alloy (working electrode) in phosphoric acid both with and without an inhibitor have been investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. Results of electrochemical tests show that the corrosion resistance of titanium alloy in phosphoric acid solution only increased and hydrogen production decreased by either decreasing acid concentration or increasing immersion time associated with the thickening of the oxide film formed on the alloy surface. On adding magnesite, the corrosion resistance of Ti alloy is enhanced by increasing the phosphoric acid concentration (0.001-0.5 M) due to the formation of sparingly soluble magnesium phosphate film on the alloy surface that inhibits the effect of increasing hydrogen evolution reaction due to the pH value decreases. The increasing adsorption behavior of the magnesite inhibitor and decreasing its diffusion were deduced from EIS measurements. Thus, the addition of 3% magnesite minimizes the corrosion by forming a new protective film (Mg(PO)), which differs from the traditional passive film and prevents the effect of the increase of hydrogen evolution. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the tested alloy were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and In situ Raman spectroscopy.

We disclose herein a chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed enantioselective addition reaction of alcohols to fluoroalkylated biaryl 1,3-oxoazepines, which furnished a wide range of bridged biaryls bearing a fluoroalkylated quaternary carbon stereocenter on the seven-membered ring in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Our method can be used for the modification of several natural products and bioactive molecules. Preliminary studies revealed that the products obtained in this reaction exhibit good in vitro bioactivities against two plant pathogens.

The physicochemical stability of liposomes (L) loaded with bioactive compounds can be improved by coating them with chitosan, to give chitosomes (Ch). In addition, crosslinked chitosan can be obtained by using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). This study aimed to prepare L enriched with bioactive compounds extracted from pineapple by-products (PB) without coating or coated with chitosan or crosslinked chitosan-enriched with PB bioactive compounds, to obtain Ch and TPP-Ch, respectively.

Reverse flotation separation of muscovite from apatite using a dodecylpyridinium chloride (DPDC) ionic liquid as the collector was studied in this work. The microflotation results depicted that DPDC had a strong collecting for muscovite but had a slight collecting for apatite when using phosphoric acid as a depressant for apatite in a weakly acidic pH value pulp, artificial mixture mineral flotation showed that reverse flotation separation of muscovite from apatite can be effectively achieved in the reagent scheme of phosphoric acid/DPDC, and DPDC had a better separation performance in the muscovite/apatite system than DDA. The adsorption measurements indicated that the adsorption amount of DPDC on the apatite surface was less than that of DPDC on the muscovite surface, and the zeta potential results confirmed that a strong interaction occurred between DPDC and the muscovite surface, while an extremely weak interaction occurred between DPDC and the apatite surface in the presence of phosphoric acid at pH ∼ 5.

The repercussions of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bisphosphonates pose serious clinical challenges and warrant novel therapies for osteoporosis in menopausal women. To confront this issue, the present research aimed to design and fabricate daidzein (DZ); a phytoestrogen-loaded hydroxyapatite nanoparticles to mimic and compensate for synthetic estrogens and biomineralization. Hypothesizing this bimodal approach, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPNPs) were synthesized using the chemical-precipitation method followed by drug loading (DZHAPNPs) via sorption.

Sodium reabsorption is tightly coupled to calcium reabsorption in the proximal tubule via the action of the Na/H exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3). Poulsen et al. provide evidence of reduced proximal calcium reabsorption in kidney tubule-specific NHE3-deficient mice that is compensated distally, unaltered phosphate homeostasis, and NHE3 involvement in the hypocalciuric effect of thiazides.
