TL;DR: The relationship between particle size and experimental variables including pH, concentration of coexisting ions and hydroxide sol was investigated in this article, where particle size became finer as pH was increased or potassium nitrate concentration of the starting metal salt solution was increased.

19 Sep 1986TL;DR: In this paper, a method of forming an improved hydrophilic coating by applying on a non-reactive polymer surface layer an osmolality-increasing compound to produce a more stable and more slippery surface in wet condition is described.
Abstract: A method of forming an improved hydrophilic coating by applying on a non-reactive hydrophilic polymer surface layer an osmolality-increasing compound to produce a more stable hydrophilic surface and to produce a more slippery surface in wet condition. The polymer surface layer is treated with a solution having above 2% (weight/volume) of an osmolality increasing compound and then the solvent of the solution is evaporated. Osmolality increasing compounds are nontoxic organic or unorganic salts other than trihalogenids, mono- or di- saccharides or sugar alcohols. Preferred compounds are glucose, sorbitol, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, sodium bensoate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, potassium nitrate. The solution of the osmolality increasing compound contains preferably a polymer. Medical articles treated with the solution of osmolality increasing compounds according to the method above also relate to the invention.

TL;DR: The properties of potassium nitrate and nitrite, two commonly used compounds, are shown in Table 1 (USEPA 1985). Potassium nitrate is also known as saltpeter (Windholz 1976).
Abstract: Nitrate and nitrite have a variety of commercial uses. The major use of nitrate is in inorganic fertilizers. It is also used in the manufacture of explosives, in glassmaking, and as a heat-transfer fluid and a heat-storage medium for solar heating applications. Both nitrate and nitrite are used in curing meats. The properties of potassium nitrate and nitrite, two commonly used compounds, are shown in Table 1 (USEPA 1985). Potassium nitrate is also known as saltpeter (Windholz 1976).

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile modification of g-C3N4 through co-pyrolysis of melamine and sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate was reported and the as-synthesized samples were characterized by a collection of techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X -ray photoelectron spectrograph, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, and elemental analysis.
