Ferrous sulfate Calcium carbonate

Cholestyramine, calcium carbonate, sucralfate, aluminum hydroxide, ferrous sulfate, soybean formula, and dietary fiber supplements may impair the absorption of levothyroxine from the GI tract. Drugs that increase nondeiodinative T4 clearance include rifampin, carbamazepine, and possibly phenytoin. Amiodarone may block the conversion of T4 to T3. 

A medium (containing corn steep liquor calcium carbonate sucrose ammonium, ferrous, manganese, and zinc sulfates and ammonium, cobalt, and magnesium chlorides) is sterilized and diluted with water to the desired concentration. It is inoculated with Streptomyces aureofaciens, kept at 27°C, and aerated and agitated for 60 hours, with lard oil added to control foaming (66). 

Drug/Food interactions Administration of iron with food decreases the iron absorption by at least 50%. Administration of calcium and iron supplements with food can reduce ferrous sulfate absorption by 33%. If combined iron and calcium supplementation is required, iron absorption is not decreased if calcium carbonate is used and the supplements are taken between meals.

Tetracyclines, as broad-spectrum antibiotics, are the drugs of choice in treating Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections. Most tetracyclines are absorbed to various degrees (30 to 100%) from the gastrointestinal tract, primarily from the stomach and upper small intestine. The absorption of tetracyclines is hindered by milk and milk products, by numerous antacids such as aluminum hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate, and by iron preparations such as ferrous sulfate. Therefore, these and similar substances should not be administered orally together with tetracycline (Figure 3.4). 

Potassium Cyanide Solutions. Wear breathing apparatus, eye protection, laboratory coat, and butyl rubber gloves. Instruct others to keep a safe distance. Cover the spill with a 1 1 1 mixture by weight of sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate, clay cat litter (bentonite), and sand. Scoop the mixture into a container and transport to the fume hood. Slowly, and while stirring, add the slurry to a pail containing household bleach (about 70 mL/g of cyanide). Test the solution for the presence of cyanide using the Prussian blue test. To 1 mL of the solution, add 2 drops of a freshly prepared 5% aqueous ferrous sulfate solution. Boil the mixture for at least 60 seconds, cool to room temperature and add 2 drops of 1 % ferric chloride solution. Add 6 M hydrochloric acid (prepared by... 

The raw minerals mined from natural deposits comprise mixtures of different specific minerals. An early step in mineral processing is to use crushing and grinding to free these various minerals from each other. In addition, these same processes may be used to reduce the mineral particle sizes to make them suitable for a subsequent separation process. Non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, mercury, and antimony are typically produced from mineral ores containing these metals as sulfides (and sometimes as oxides, carbonates, or sulfates) [91,619,620], The respective metal sulfides are usually separated from the raw ores by flotation. Flotation processes are also used to concentrate non-metallic minerals used in other industries, such as calcium fluoride, barium sulfate, sodium and potassium chlorides, sulfur, coal, phosphates, alumina, silicates, and clays [91,619,621], Other examples are listed in Table 10.2, including the recovery of ink in paper recycling (which is discussed in Section 12.5.2), the recovery of bitumen from oil sands (which is discussed further in Section 11.3.2), and the removal of particulates and bacteria in water and wastewater treatment (which is discussed further in Section 9.4). 

Salts Compounds formed by the union of acids and bases, by the action of alkalies upon metals, or by the direct union of elements. The term is often incorporated in the common name of salts used as pharmaceuticals bitter salts, epsom salt, or Seidlitz salt (magnesium sulfate), preparing salt (sodium stannate), Preston s salts (ammonium chloride), Rochelle salt or Seignette s salt (potassium and ammonium tartrate), salt of Mars (ferrous sulfate), salt of Saturn (lead acetate), salt of tartar (potassium carbonate), salt of tin (stannous chloride), salt of wisdom (mercury bichloride and ammonium chloride), sore-throat salt (fused potassium nitrate), vinegar salts (calcium acetate), and vomiting salt (zinc sulfate). The term is also applied to some acids, such as salt of lemon or sour salt (citric acid), salt of sorrel (oxalic acid), and spirit of salt (muriatic acid). ... 

Drug Interactions Various drugs can decrease T absorption. Drugs such as aluminum hydroxide, ferrous sulfate, sucralfate, and calcium carbonate should be separated from T administration by 1 to 2 hours. Bile acid sequestrants (cholestyramine and colestipol) must be separated from T by at least 4 hours and preferably 6 hours. CYP450 enzyme inducing drugs such as phenytoin, carba-mazepine, rifampin, and phenobarbital can increase T requirements. 

The sodium carbonate formed from the removal of temporary hardness is available to precipitate any calcium or magnesium salts present as permanent hardness. Thus, the usual water treatment for removal of hardness involves adding a mixture of quicklime (CaO) and sodium carbonate in accordance with the amount of permanent hardness present. Sometimes a coagulant such as alum (Al2(S04)3 I4H2O) or ferrous sulfate will be added to help coagulate and settle any finely divided hardness in suspension [18].

III. Chalybeate waters which contain salts of iron in greater ]iroportion than 4 parts in 100,000. They contain ferrous bicarbonate, sulfate, crenate, and apocrenate, calcium carbonate, sulfates of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminium, notable quantities of sodium chlorid, and frequently small amounts of arsenic. They have the taste of iron and are usually clear as they emerge from the earth. Those containing ferrous bicarbonate deposit a sediment on standing, by loss of carbon dioxid, and formation of ferrous carbonate. 

Calcium carbonate and calcium acetate (in phosphate-binding doses) caused a modest reduction in the absorption of iron from ferrous sulfate, whereas sevelamer had only a minor effect. 

In a single-dose study in 23 fasting healthy subjects, the bioavailability of iron from ferrous sulfate 200 mg was reduced by 27% by calcium acetate 2.7 g, 19% by calcium carbonate 3 g, and 10% by sevelamer 2.8 g. 

Numerous methods for the synthesis of salicyl alcohol exist. These involve the reduction of salicylaldehyde or of salicylic acid and its derivatives. The alcohol can be prepared in almost theoretical yield by the reduction of salicylaldehyde with sodium amalgam, sodium borohydride, or lithium aluminum hydride by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum black or Raney nickel or by hydrogenation over platinum and ferrous chloride in alcohol. The electrolytic reduction of salicylaldehyde in sodium bicarbonate solution at a mercury cathode with carbon dioxide passed into the mixture also yields saligenin. It is formed by the electrolytic reduction at lead electrodes of salicylic acids in aqueous alcoholic solution or sodium salicylate in the presence of boric acid and sodium sulfate. Salicylamide in aqueous alcohol solution acidified with acetic acid is reduced to salicyl alcohol by sodium amalgam in 63% yield. Salicyl alcohol forms along with -hydroxybenzyl alcohol by the action of formaldehyde on phenol in the presence of sodium hydroxide or calcium oxide. High yields of salicyl alcohol from phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of a molar equivalent of ether additives have been reported (60). Phenyl metaborate prepared from phenol and boric acid yields salicyl alcohol after treatment with formaldehyde and hydrolysis (61).
