Wash oil is a fraction obtained by the distillation of coal tar and is primarily used for the absorption of light oil from coke oven gas. During operation, the oil undergoes polymerization and loses some components, necessitating the removal of the used oil and its replacement with fresh wash oil. The rheological properties of the studied oils were determined using a Brookfield DV2T rotational controlled-shear rate rheometer. Gas chromatographic analysis, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and IR spectroscopy were employed to evaluate the oil's characteristics. By adding individual components to the wash oil, it was found that these components could be categorized into three groups: viscosity enhancers, viscosity reducers, and non-polar oil substances with medium molecular weight that have no significant effect on viscosity. The addition of relatively polar components with greater molecular weight and a planar, rigid structure leads to an increase in viscosity. Conversely, the incorporation of naphthalene and its methyl homologues, which have lower molecular weights, reduces viscosity by disrupting intermolecular interactions; their lower heats of crystallization also inhibit the formation of structured order in the liquid, further contributing to the reduction in viscosity. The most substantial increase in oil viscosity was observed with the addition of indene-coumarone resins, attributed to their high molecular weight and polymer structure.

Design of highly leaf-adhesive and anti-UV herbicide nanoformulation for enhanced herbicidal activity.

J Adv Res

Introduction: Conventional pesticide formulations have been widely used to boost agricultural productivity, but their weak foliar adhesion and instability under UV light during spraying lead to low utilization rates and potential environmental and health hazards. To counter these challenges, the development of nanoformulations represents a pivotal strategy. These advanced formulations are designed to enhance the efficacy of active ingredients (AIs) and reduce ecological impacts, thereby addressing the need for sustainable agricultural development.

High-Pressure Injection Injuries of the Hand: A Report of Three Cases Presenting With Acute Compartment Syndrome.

Cureus

October 2024

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Burns Unit, Coimbra Local Health Unit, Coimbra, PRT.

Article Synopsis
  • High-pressure injection injuries in the hand often result from industrial tools like paint guns or air compressors, typically affecting laborers' non-dominant hands and causing damage that’s often underestimated despite appearing as a small puncture wound.
  • These injuries can cause severe complications such as neurovascular compromise and acute compartment syndrome due to the spread of injected materials that can be toxic and lead to further tissue damage or infections.
  • A presentation of three cases highlights urgent surgery needs for patients who experienced severe pain and swelling after different injected substances, leading to procedures for decompression, irrigation, and tissue removal to prevent serious outcomes.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a prevalent malignant tumor of the urinary system. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are currently the first-line treatments for advanced/metastatic ccRCC, patients often develop resistance after TKI therapy. Lipid metabolic reprogramming, a hallmark of tumor progression, contributes to acquired drug resistance in various malignant tumors.

Influence of Reclaimed Water on the Visual Quality of Automotive Coating.

Materials (Basel)

November 2024

Faculty of Chemical Technology and Engineering, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, ul. Pułaskiego 10, 70-322 Szczecin, Poland.

In the present study, the possibility of recovering water in a car wash station was presented. The resistance of automotive coatings to washing water recovered at 50% and 70% from wastewater generated at car wash was tested. Wastewater treatment was carried out by ultrafiltration (UF) using tubular polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (100 and 200 kDa) manufactured by the PCI company.
