In medical facilities it is necessary to equips materials and surfaces with a high level of hygiene using antimicrobial agents to protect them against bacteria and other micro organisms to prevent infections caused by bacteria and contribute significantly to reduce health costs. Benefits of nanoscale coatings in this sector include long lasting antimicrobial effect‚ constant release of the active substance‚ effectiveness against bacteria and other micro-organisms‚ no chemical impurities‚ easy processing

vertical arrow indicates that gas is released. This reaction is very slow‚ due to passivation‚ so to speed it up‚ iron and salt are added. Passivation is the process by which a material is made less reactive‚ usually by the deposition of a layer of oxide on its surface: if you place a strip of magnesium into cold water‚ its surface will oxidise to magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2)‚ and this coating will prevent further reaction. Therefore‚ in the heater meal‚ iron is added to the magnesium‚ leading to

CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND CHLORITE 105 7. ANALYTICAL METHODS The purpose of this chapter is to describe the analytical methods that are available for detecting‚ measuring‚ and/or monitoring chlorine dioxide and chlorite‚ its metabolites‚ and other biomarkers of exposure and effect to chlorine dioxide and chlorite. The intent is not to provide an exhaustive list of analytical methods. Rather‚ the intention is to identify well-established methods that are used as the standard methods of analysis

Review of Related Literature Chalk is a type of limestone. Air and water do not wear chalk away easily‚ so when chalk is next to the sea‚ it often makes a largecliff. The "White Cliffs of Dover" in Kent‚ England are a good example of this. When chalk is near the top of the ground‚ it often makes chalk hills. Chalk holds water‚ so these chalk hills have a lot of water in them‚ and when the weather is very dry‚ water comes slowly from the chalk. Chalk is mostly formed from the calcareous (CaCO3)

the vehicles‚ we suggest installing a 3-way catalytic converter‚ which can oxidize carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide 2CO + O2 ---> 2CO2‚ unburnt hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water CxH2x+2 + (3x+1)/2 O2 ---> xCO2 + (x+1) H2O and reduce nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen 2NOx ---﹥N2 ＋ xO2. Nevertheless‚ the catalytic converter cannot be used on leaded petrol vehicles because Lead will poison the catalyst such as Platinum inside the converter.
