Phosphoric acid production is of major importance to the Tunisian economy. However, the quality produced is not suitable for other than agricultural use due to mineral and organic impurities. In this study, the purification of industrial phosphoric acid with a maximum P2O5 concentration of 25% was achieved by nanofiltration.  Six solutions of different P2O5 concentration were used. The removal of organic (total carbon) and inorganic impurities such as magnesium, iron, chrome, zinc, cadmium and vanadium, were studied.The performances of nanofiltration (NF) Nadir NP 30 membrane were determined in terms of permeate flux and P2O5 and impurities retention taking into account the effect of transmembrane pressure, P2O5 concentration and membrane prea-treatment by purified phosphoric acid solution.Results showed that for the industrial 25% P2O5 acid solution, the use of NF membrane achieved a retention of 87.35%, 86.73%, 87.57%, 78.41% and 73.17%, respectively, for iron, aluminum, chrome, magnesium, vanadium and organic matter (kerogen and humic acids) under a pressure of 20 bar. P2O5 permeation increased with the increase of its concentration in the acidic feed solution. The best permeation is provided by 25% P2O5 feeding acid solution which is of almost 98%.

The element phosphorus plays key role in plants metabolism. It is widely used as fertilizer. This element is usually found in insoluble forms (Ca10(PO4)6F2). The solubilization in phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a process widely used in fertilizer industry. The impurities in the phosphate exert significant influence on recovery and productivity phosphoric process, besides affecting the quality of products. The objective of this work is to analyze the influence of some of these main impurities (iron, aluminum and magnesium) in the production process of phosphoric acid. A referential methodology (induced crystallization) of phosphoric acid production was developed. Samples of igneous phosphate concentrate contaminated with iron, aluminum and magnesium were prepared for the experiments. The reaction control parameters were similar to an industrial operation of phosphoric acid dihydrate process. Reductions in conversions, increases in viscosity and density of phosphoric acid were observed with increasing presence of these impurities. In the filtration step was found increase in resistivity of the cake with the increase of the impurities content. The iron mineral element promoted an increase in induction time of crystals nucleation.

Research was undertaken with the purpose of shortening time without affecting accuracy of the Dyer modified method for the determination in soils, of phosphoric acid, lime and potash soluble in 1 per cent citric acid solution. A short method is recommended for the lime determination based on the Chapman's method (4) for the precipitation of calcium oxalate in acid solutions (pH 3.9-4.2) in the presence of iron, aluminum, titanium, manganese, magnesium and phosphates. A short method is recommended for the phosphoric acid determination. Results are analyzed statistically by Student's method. Several of the colorimetric methods recommended for the phosphoric acid determination are also discussed.

Possible ways to remove fluoride from phosphoric acid are extraction,but there are always generated a second organic phase ,where still have small amounts of impurities such as fluoride,sulfate,iron,aluminum and heavy metals. The traditional process using pure water or dilute phosphoric acid washing the organic phase to get phosphoric acid ,but the impurities removing rate is not obvious.This study explore a new way to changes the washing detergent,using dilute alkali solution to reduce fluoride content of stripping in phosphoric acid.The optimization of experimental conditions is dilute alkali mass fraction 20%,dosage 0.4%,temperature 45°C,the defluorization rate can be 67.75% and phosphorus pentoxide yield rise to 95.50%.This study provides a new idea to improve defluorination rate in industrial production.

Calcium ions in the concentration range 5-100 mM inhibit auxin-induced cell elongation and wall extensibility of plant stems. Inhibition of wall extensibility requires that the tissue be living; growth inhibition cannot be explained on the basis of cross-linking of carboxyl groups of cell wall uronides by calcium ions. In this study, ultrastructural evidence was sought for an interaction of calcium ions with some component other than the wall at the cell surface of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) hypocotyls.

In the past most studies of the control of energy metabolism focus on the role of the phosphorylation potential ATP/ADP.Pi on the regulation of respiration. Studies using NMR techniques have demonstrated that the concentrations of these compounds for oxidation phosphorylation do not change appreciably throughout the cardiac cycle and during increases in cardiac work. Hence regulation of energy production by calcium ions, present in the mitochondrial matrix, has been the object of a number of recent studies.Three exclusively intramitochondnal dehydrogenases are key enzymes for the regulation of oxidative metabolism. They are activated by calcium ions in the low micromolar range. Since, however, earlier estimates of the intramitochondnal calcium, based on equilibrium thermodynamic considerations, were in the millimolar range, a physiological correlation was not evident. The introduction of calcium-sensitive probes fura-2 and indo-1 made monitoring of free calcium during changing energy metabolism possible. These studies were performed on isolated mitochondria and extrapolation to the in vivo situation is more or less speculative.

Capacitor Discharge Welding is a rapid solidification technique for joining conductive materials that results in a narrow fusion zone and almost no heat affected zone. As a result, the microstructures and properties of the bulk materials are essentially continuous across the weld interface. During the joining process, one of the materials to be joined acts as the anode and the other acts as the cathode. The anode and cathode are brought together with a concomitant discharge of a capacitor bank, creating an arc which melts the materials at the joining surfaces and welds them together (Fig. 1). As the electrodes impact, the arc is extinguished, and the molten interface cools at rates that can exceed 106 K/s. This process results in reduced porosity in the fusion zone, a fine-grained weldment, and a reduced tendency for hot cracking.At the U.S. Bureau of Mines, we are currently examining the possibilities of using capacitor discharge welding to join dissimilar metals, metals to intermetallics, and metals to conductive ceramics. In this particular study, we will examine the microstructural characteristics of iron-aluminum welds in detail, focussing our attention primarily on interfaces produced during the rapid solidification process.

Restoration of decayed teeth with tooth-colored materials that can be bonded to tooth tissue has been a highly desirable property in restorative dentistry for many years. Advantages of such an adhesive restorative technique over conventional techniques using non-adhesive metal-based restoratives include improved restoration retention with minimal sacrifice of sound tooth tissue for retention purposes, superior adaptation and sealing of the restoration margins in prevention of caries recurrence, improved stress distribution across the tooth-restoration interface throughout the whole tooth, and even reinforcement of weakened tooth structures. The dental adhesive technology is rapidly changing. An efficient resin bond to enamel has already long been achieved. Its bonding mechanism has been fully elucidated and has proven to be a durable and reliable clinical treatment. However, bonding to dentin represents a greater challenge. After the failures of a dentin acid-etch technique in imitation of the enamel phosphoric-acid-etch technique and a bonding procedure based on chemical adhesion, modern dentin adhesives are currently believed to bond to dentin by a micromechanical hybridization process. This process is developed by an initial demineralization of the dentin surface layer with acid etchants exposing a collagen fibril arrangement with interfibrillar microporosities that subsequently become impregnated by low-viscosity monomers. Although the development of such a hybridization process has well been documented in the literature, questions remain with respect to parameters of-primary importance to adhesive efficacy.
