The dissolution rate and solubility of NaBiO have been investigated in nitric acid systems ranging from 4 to 6 M HNO and were found to be 58-76 μg/cm·d and 490-830 mM, respectively. The presence of 50 mM U(VI) drastically increased the solubility to 540-1200 mM, while rates of dissolution were relatively unchanged. The solubility of NaBiO increased with an increase in U(VI) concentrations at 4 M HNO, with log-log analysis indicating a one-to-one complex between Bi and U and infrared spectroscopic evidence monitoring uranyl stretching, suggesting complex formation. Absorbance spectra were obtained experimentally and computationally with an absorbance band in the range of 450-600 nm that has been attributed to Bi(V). The ingrowth and decay of Bi(V) in solution was also studied as a function of mass of solid NaBiO present, acidity, and temperature. The activation energies of dissolution and decomposition were calculated to be 39 ± 4 and 61 ± 6 kJ/mol, respectively. These results indicate that dissolution of NaBiO into the respective Na and BiOoccurs prior to undergoing reduction, a process which conventionally has been believed to occur in the reverse order.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and insufficient resolution of inflammation. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in vascular homeostasis by promoting endothelial cell proliferation, maintaining endothelial integrity, suppressing smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, and exerting potent anti-inflammatory effects. However, clinical application of NO is hindered by its short half-life, lack of targeting, and uncontrolled release.

LC-HRMS/MS-based molecular-network-guided chemical investigation of led to the isolation of seven undescribed tetrasaccharide-type resin glycosides (-). Their structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analysis. Isolated resin glycosides were comprised of d-glucose, d-fucose, d-quinovose, and l-rhamnose, and these monosaccharides were partially acylated with acetyl, isobutyryl, -hexanoyl, and niloyl organic acids.

With the rapid development of the nuclear medicine business worldwide, the removal of iodine-131 from specific contaminated environments to protect public health has important application prospects. In this study, the surface decontamination mechanism of Ce(IV)/HNO3 as a decontaminant for iodine-131-contaminated nonmetallic materials was investigated by using an orthogonal experimental method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). During the preparation experiments with the contaminated materials, both quartz glass and ceramics reached peak activity concentration levels at 4 h of adsorption (contamination) by using immersion; the decontamination factor (DF) was selected as the test index for the decontamination experiments.

Nitrogen (N) fixation with non-thermal plasmas has been proposed as a sustainable alternative to meet growing N fertilizer demands for agriculture. This technology generates Plasma Activated Water (PAW) with a range of chemical compositions, including different concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), among other compounds. Potential use of PAW as an effective crop fertilizer necessitates a robust understanding of the underlying biology of the plant, which is not yet available.
