TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray powder diffraction patterns reveal that dropping of potassium salt on calcined hydrotalcite promotes the recovery of the layer structure on rehydration, which is comparable to that of KX zeolite.

TL;DR: Callus culture of Dioscoreadeltoidea produced diosgenin and sterols during stationary phase supported better growth than a combination of ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrates and Micronutrients when used at 1 1/2 strength.
Abstract: Callus culture ofDioscorea
deltoidea produced diosgenin and sterols during stationary phase. Ammonium nitrate (420 mg Nitrogen/l) as sole nitrogen source supported better growth than a combination of ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate (totally equivalent to 840 mg Nitrogen/l). The production of diosgenin increased under low phosphate concentration (100 mg/l) whereas high phosphate concentration (240 mg/l) promoted growth. Micronutrients, when used at 1 1/2 strength, enhanced growth and diosgenin production. Depletion of nitrogen increased the diosgenin synthesis by a factor of 2. Adoption of a two stage culture method enhanced the diosgenin production in cultured cells by eight-fold.

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique was developed for continuously producing small droplets of an aqueous solution in mineral oil, and the rate of nucleation of supersaturated potassium nitrate solutions was studied by observing the fraction of a large number of these droplets crystallized after varying lengths of time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface active agents on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical nucleation has been analyzed on the basis of the classical and atomistic theories of phase formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the reactions of six chromium compounds with molten lithium nitrate-potassium nitrate eutectic were studied, and the stoichiometry of the oxidation of chromium metal and chromium(III) oxide, and stepwise addition of oxide ions to chromium oxide, trichromate and dichromate to from chromate have been established.
