Combined Effect of pH and Solvents: Stockton and Johnson and Higuchi studied the effect of an increase of alcohol concentration on the dissociation constant of sulfathiazole, and Edmonson and Goyan investigated the effect of alcohol on the solubility of phenobarbital. […]
COUGH: It is physiologically useful protective reflex that clears the respiratory tract of the accumulated mucus and foreign substances. It occurs due to stimulation of mechano/chemo receptors in throat, respiratory, passage or stretch receptors in the lung Types of cough: […]
COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a group of lung disease that blocks airflow and make it difficult to breathe. Types of COPD: There are two main types of COPD. Chronic bronchitis: Which involves a long term cough with mucus. Emphysema: […]
ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF INTERFACES: The existence of difference in electrical potential across a solid–liquid interface is demonstrated by the following phenomena: Electrophoresis: Movement of dispersed particles through a liquid medium under the influence of an electric field. Electro-osmosis: Movement of […]
SOLUBILIZATION: It can be defined as the preparation of a thermodynamically stable isotropic solution of a substance normally insoluble or very slightly soluble in a given solvent by the addition of component or by any suitable methods. SOLUBILITY: The maximum […]
Hydrophilic–Lipophilic Balance Concept: The HLB concept was introduced by Griffin in 1947 to classify nonionic surfactants but has since been applied to ionic surfactants as well. In this system, each surfactant is assigned a number between 1 and 20, representing […]
Many attempts have been made to develop a mathematical expression that relates the amount of the adsorbate per unit weight of adsorbent to a function of the solute concentration remaining in the solution at a fixed temperature. The most frequently […]
BET isotherm: Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms are based on the formation of a saturated monolayer of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. The BET isotherm assumes that a multimolecular layer of adsorbate molecules covers the surface of the […]
