Treatment of TCE - Contaminated Groundwater using Potassium Permanganate Oxidation

Huang, Kun-der 22 August 2004 (has links)
In this study, potassium permanganate was used as the oxidant to remediate TCE¡Vcontaminated groundwater. The objectives of this bench-scale oxidation study include the following: (1) evaluate the overall TCE oxidation rate with the presence of KMnO4, (2) assess the consumption rate of KMnO4, (3) evaluate the effect of the oxidation by-product, manganese dioxide (MnO2), on the TCE oxidation rate. The control factors in this study include (1) four different molar ratios of KMnO4 to TCE [designated as P, (KMnO4/TCE) = 2, 5, 10, and 20]; (2) four different TCE concentration (0.5, 5, 20, and 100 ppm); (3) three different initial pH values (2.1, 6.3, and 12.5); (4) three different oscillator mix rate (0, 50, and 200 rpm); (5) four different molar ratios of dibasic sodium phosphate (Na2HPO4) to Mn2+ [designated as D, (Na2HPO4/Mn2+) = 0, 50, 100, and 300D], and (6) two different medium solutions [deionized (DI) water and groundwater]. Moreover, the effects of D values on TCE oxidation rate and KMnO4 consumption rate were also evaluated. Experimental results indicate that a second-order reaction model could be applied to express the oxidation reaction of TCE by KMnO4, and the calculated rate constant equals 0.8 M-1s-1. Results also show that the higher the P value, the higher the TCE oxidation rate. Moreover, TCE oxidation rate was not affected under low pH conditions (pH = 2.10 and 6.3). However, TCE oxidation rate dropped under high pH condition (pH 12.5) due to the transformation of KMnO4 to manganese dioxide. The following three pathways would cause the production of manganese dioxide: (1) direct oxidation of TCE by KMnO4, (2) production of Mn2+ after the oxidation of TCE by KMnO4, and Mn2+ was further oxidized by KMnO4 to form manganese dioxide, and (3) transformation of KMnO4 to manganese dioxide under high pH condition. Results also show that more manganese dioxide was produced while groundwater was used as the medium solution. Results show that the produced manganese dioxide was 47.2% - 81.5% less with the addition of dibasic sodium phosphate. Moreover, the variations in D values would not affect the TCE oxidation rate. However, the increase in D value would decrease the consumption of KMnO4. Results also reveal that significant inhibition of manganese dioxide production was observed under low pH condition. Furthermore, no TCE oxidation byproducts were detected after the oxidation reaction. Key words: KMnO4, TCE, manganese dioxide and dibasic sodium phosphate

Influence d'un phosphate de calcium substitué en strontium sur la physiologie de l'ostéoblaste humain en culture et évaluation de son potentiel de réparation osseusse chez la souris / Strontium substituted calcium phosphate influence on human osteoblasts physiology and evaluation of his potential bone healing capability on a mouse model.

Braux, Julien 02 February 2011 (has links)
Les phosphates de calcium sont des biomatériaux couramment utilisés dans de nombreuses spécialités médicales. L'amélioration de ces biomatériaux vise à augmenter leur ostéointégration et leur bioactivité. Le strontium possédant d'intéressantes capacités de modification de la physiologie osseuse, l'incorporation de ce dernier au sein de phosphates de calcium par substitution ionique pourrait permettre un déplacement de la balance osseuse vers la formation osseuse.Notre travail a permis de démontrer la capacité des particules de phosphates de calcium substitués en strontium à augmenter la prolifération des ostéoblastes en culture et à modifier l'expression et la synthèse des principales protéines impliquées dans la physiologie osseuse (Collagène de type I, Serpine H1, métalloprotéinases matricielles 1 et 2, inhibiteurs tissulaires des MMPs). Par ailleurs, la poudre de phosphates de calcium ne contenant pas de strontium a entrainé une sécrétion accrue de chimiokines pro-inflammatoires (MCP-1 et GRO-?) qui n'a pas été observée pour la poudre substituée. Enfin, des études in-vivo réalisées dans un modèle de défaut osseux murin a permis de démontrer une plus grande résorbabilité de la poudre contenant du strontium et sa plus grande capacité à stimuler la réparation osseuse. / Calcium phosphate are widely used in medicine. Their upgrade tend to enhance their biocompatibility and their bioactivity. Strontium has interesting capability to modify the bone physiologie. Its incorporation in calcium phosphates could lead to modify the bone balance toward osteogenesis.The present work reveal the capacities of such biomaterials to enhance the replication of osteoblasts ant to modify the expression and the synthesis of proteins implicated in the bone balance (type I collagen, serpinH1, Matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 2, tissular inhibitors of MMPs). Moreover, non substituted calcium phosphate powders enhance the expression and synthesis of inflammatory cytokines (MCP-1 and Gro-a). This fact was not observed with the non substituted powder. In-vivo studies on a mouse model permit us to demonstrate the higher resorbability and the higher bone healing capability of the substituted powder.

The Role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 in Phosphate Homeostasis

Larsson, Tobias Erik Martin January 2004 (has links)
<p>The regulation of serum phosphate (Pi) concentrations is a complex process and our current models are far from complete. Due to major advancements in biotechnology and the development of more powerful research tools, recent advances in the field of genetics has led to the identification of several candidates for the long sought-after phosphatonin(s), or Pi regulating hormones. One of these candidates is fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and this thesis is based upon studies of the role of FGF-23 in Pi homeostasis. We demonstrate that FGF-23 is a secreted protein which is highly expressed in tumors giving rise to oncogenic hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (OOM). Furthermore, we have developed a two-site enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of circulating FGF-23 and established that FGF-23 is present in the circulation of healthy individuals. Also, FGF-23 serum levels are elevated in patients with disturbances in Pi homeostasis such as OOM, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and chronic kidney disease and are likely to play an important role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. A transgenic mouse model that express human FGF-23 under the control of the α1(I) collagen promoter exhibit similar clinical and biochemical characteristics as do patients with OOM, XLH and autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets indicating that FGF-23 is an important determinant of Pi homeostasis, vitamin D metabolism and bone mineralization.</p>

Nouveaux verres borophosphates de sodium et de calcium. Corrélation structure-propriétés physico-chimiques. Application dans le domaine biomédical

Ducel, Jean-François 23 June 1993 (has links) (PDF)
Cette étude a porte sur la caractérisation tant physico-chimique que structurale de verres issus du système NaPO3-Na2B4O7-Ca5(PO4)3OH pouvant servir a des applications dans le domaine biomédical. Dans une première partie, les verres de composition (1-x) NaPO3-xNa2B4O7 ont été étudies. L' évolution inattendue des propriétés physicochimiques a pu être correlée a la structure caractérisée par RMN (31P MAS et 11B) et spectroscopies vibrationnelles (infrarouge et diffusion Raman). Dans une deuxième partie, l' effet d' addition de l' hydroxyapatite dans les verres borophosphates de sodium montre un renforcement de certaines propriétés (dureté et résistance a l'eau) lie a des modifications structurales du réseau vitreux. La dernière partie de ce travail a été consacré à la recherche et à la mise au point d'un procédé d'obturation de carie dentaire consistant a fondre, in situ, ces matériaux grâce au pouvoir thermique d'un laser CO2.

Proprietes optiques non lineaires des verres borophosphates de titane ou de niobium

Cardinal, Thierry 07 January 1997 (has links) (PDF)
Les verres présentant des propriétés optiques non linéaires importantes constituent des candidats pour des applications de commutation optique ou de propagation soliton. Les verres du système vitreux (1 - x) (0,05Na2B4O7 - 0,95NaPO3) (x TiO2 ou x Nb2O5) ou l' oxyde de titane ou de niobium, réputés non linéaires, sont introduits en fortes proportions sont élaborés et caractérisés du point de vue optique et thermique. Une étude comparative de ces verres borophosphates de titane ou de niobium avec des verres silicates de titane ou de niobium est entreprise. L'étude de l'évolution de l'environnement local de l' ion de transition, en fonction de sa concentration dans le verre et de la matrice vitreuse, est déduite de l'analyse des spectres d'absorption X et RAMAN. A partir de ces résultats structuraux et des grandeurs non linéaires, un modèle semi-empirique base sur une théorie de l'orbitale de liaison est proposé. Conjointement des calculs ab initio, confrontes a l'approche semi-empirique, sont menés dans le cas des verres de titane.
