Mineralisation

A debate centers on the mechanistic details of heterogeneous photocatalysis. The goal is to improve the photocatalytic activity of Ti02, and understand the role and importance of mineralisation by (/) free versus surface bound oxidising radicals, OH, and (2) by surface OH radicals versus direct hole oxidation. [Pg.403]

The extent of the changes in the electronic characteristics and in the very nature of the Ti02 particle surface dictates the events that take place along the photo oxidative path to mineralisation of organic substates. [Pg.404]

Coesite. Coesite, the second most dense (3.01 g/cm ) phase of silica, was first prepared ia the laboratory by heating a mixture of sodium metasibcate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate or another mineraliser at 500—800°C and 1.5—3.5 GPa (14,800—34,540 atm). Coesite has also been prepared by oxidation of silicon with silver carbonate under pressure (67). The stmcture is monoclinic = 717 pm, Cg = 1.238 pm, and 7 = 120°. [Pg.476]

The rate and extent of pesticide metaboHsm can vary dramatically, depending on chemical stmcture, the number of specific pesticide-degrading microorganisms present and their affinity for the pesticide, and environmental parameters. The extent of metaboHsm can vary from relatively minor transformations which do not significantly alter the chemical or toxicological properties of the pesticide, to mineralisation, ie, degradation to CO2, H2O, NH" 4, Cf, etc. The rate of metaboHsm can vary from extremely slow (half-life of years) to rapid (half-life of days). [Pg.215]

ThioglycoHc acid can be identified by its in spectmm or by gas chromatography. Most of the by-products and self-esterification products are also detected by liquid chromatography, eg, thiodiglycolic acid, dithiodiglycolic acid, linear dimers, and polymers. Iron content can be assayed by the red sensitive complex of 1,10-phenanthroline [66-71-7] and ferrous ion of a mineralised sample. Ferric ion turns an aqueous ammonia solution deep red-violet. [Pg.4]

Most bones of the human skeleton are composed of two structurally distinct types of tissue compact (dense) and trabecular (cancellous, spongy) bone. Both types contain the same elements cells ( osteocytes) embedded in a mineralised matrix and connected by small canals ( canaliculi ). In compact bone, which makes up 85% of the skeleton, these components form elongated cylinders of concentric lamellae surrounding a central blood vessel (called osteon or Haversian system). Cancellous bone, in contrast, forms thin,... [Pg.277]

Osteoblasts are the primary cells responsible for bone formation. They are derived from mesenchymal (stromal) cells that first differentiate into pre-osteoblasts and then into mature, bone matrix producing osteoblasts. Inactivated or resting osteoblasts become lining cells and thus a reservoir for bone forming cells to be activated at the next remodelling cycle. Osteoblasts trapped and embedded in the mineralised matrix are called osteocyts, and are important for many properties of living bone. [Pg.278]

During bone formation, a series of sequential changes occur in cells in the osteoblast lineage, including osteoblast chemotaxis, proliferation and differentiation, which in turn is followed by formation of mineralised bone and cessation of osteoblast activity. The osteoblast changes are preceded by osteoclast apoptosis, which may be dependent on active TGF- 3 released from the resorbed bone. This is followed by chemotactic attraction of osteoblasts or their precursors to the sites of the resorption defect. Chemotactic attraction of osteoblast precursors is likely mediated by local factors produced during the resorption process. [Pg.278]

Bone remodelling, which continues throughout adult life, is necessary for the maintenance of normal bone structure and requires that bone formation and resorption should be balanced. Bone remodelling occurs in focal or discrete packets know as bone multicellular unit (BMU). In this process, both bone formation and resorption occur at the same place so that there is no change in the shape of the bone. After a certain amount of bone is removed as a result of osteoclastic resorption and the osteoclasts have moved away from the site, a reversal phase takes place in which a cement line is laid down. Osteoblasts then synthesize matrix, which becomes mineralised. The BMU remodeling sequence normally takes about 3 months to produce a bone structure unit (Fig. 2). [Pg.279]

Bone Formation The building of new bone through osteoblasts. Bone formation, which is part of the bone remodelling process, includes the synthesis of organic matter (mostly collagen type 1) and subsequent mineralisation. [Pg.282]

A cell embedded within the mineralised matrix of bone. Osteocytes are derived from former osteoblasts and are responsible for intra-skeletal sensing and signalling. [Pg.918]

The geometry and structure of a bone consist of a mineralised tissue populated with cells. This bone tissue has two distinct structural forms dense cortical and lattice-like cancellous bone, see Figure 7.2(a). Cortical bone is a nearly transversely isotropic material, made up of osteons, longitudinal cylinders of bone centred around blood vessels. Cancellous bone is an orthotropic material, with a porous architecture formed by individual struts or trabeculae. This high surface area structure represents only 20 per cent of the skeletal mass but has 50 per cent of the metabolic activity. The density of cancellous bone varies significantly, and its mechanical behaviour is influenced by density and architecture. The elastic modulus and strength of both tissue structures are functions of the apparent density. [Pg.115]

For the formation of hydrothermal deposits the following are essential (i) the availability of mineralising solutions capable of dissolving and transporting mineral matter, (ii) the availability of openings in rocks through which the solutions may be channelled, (iii) the availability of suitable sites for deposition and localisation of ore minerals, (iv) chemical reactions that result in deposition, and (v) sufficient concentration of mineral matter to constitute economic deposits. [Pg.46]

Destructive solid sample preparation methods, such as digestion and mineralisation, are well known as they have been around for some time they are relatively cheap and well documented [13-15]. Decomposition of a substance or a mixture of substances does not refer so much to the dissolution, but rather to the conversion of slightly soluble substances into acid- or water-soluble (ionogenic) compounds (chemical dissolution). [Pg.591]

Although the need for complete decomposition is often stressed (see also Table 8.3), not all detection techniques demand the same degree of mineralisation. Table 8.6 classifies analytical techniques according to the amount of mineralisation that they need [4]. Ideally, a purely instrumental approach is the only way to prevent losses and contamination due to decomposition. Choosing a decomposition mode simply to be able to meet the requirements of the detection technique is an incomplete approach. The choice of decomposition should primarily be directed by both the matrix and element of interest. [Pg.593]
