A novel method for preparation of iron oxyhydroxide materials, involving aqueous precipitation followed by microwave assisted aging is investigated. The produced materials are characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM spectroscopy and BET analysis. The materials show physical characteristics dependent on preparation procedure. The adsorptive properties of the materials for arsenic are studied by batch adsorption techniques. It is found that the rate of arsenic upload depends strongly on the degree of crystallinity of the materials. The adsorption capacity is approximately 55 mg/g. The physical characterization of the arsenic loaded adsorbents show that the adsorption process modifies the morphology of the materials. Over 4% of arsenic atoms are incorporated into the particle matrix.

Morphological and cytochemical studies of platelets have reported a surface coat, or glycocalyx, external to the plasma membrane (1). Biochemical analyses have likewise confirmed the highly adsorptive properties of platelets as transporters of coagulation factors (2). However, visualization of the platelet membrane by conventional EM procedures does not reflect this special relationship between the platelet and its plasma environment. By the routine method of alcohol-propylene oxide dehydration for Epon embedding, the lipid bilayer nature of the platelet membrane appears similar to other blood cells (Fig. 1). A new rapid embedding technique using dimethoxypropane (DMP) as dehydrating agent (13) has permitted ultrastructural analyses of the surface features of the platelet-plasma interface.Aliquots of human or rabbit platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were added to equal volumes of 6% glutaraldehyde in Millonig's buffer at 37° for 45 minutes, rinsed in buffer and postfixed in 1% osmium in Millonig's buffer for 45 minutes.

Gamma (γ) alumina is referred to as a defect spinel because it has a tetragonally distorted spinel structure (AB2O4) and an insufficient number of cations to fill all cation sites. In the spinel structure, the oxygen lattice is cubic close packed with A- and B-site cations in tetrahedral and octahedral coordination, respectively. The 2l⅓ Al atoms per unit cell of γ alumina can distribute themselves across 16 octahedral and 8 tetrahedral sites.The literature differs on where the 2⅔ cation vacancies per unit cell are located. Wilson and McConnell proposed that the vacancies in γ alumina, as first formed by calcining boehmite, are predominantly on the tetrahedral lattice but, with further heat treatment, move to occupy random positions on both octahedral and tetrahedral lattices. One study using NMR showed that the vacancies lay exclusively on the tetrahedral lattice, independent of the calcination temperature. A more-recent study using Rietveld refinement of powder neutron diffraction data suggested that both octahedral and tetrahedral lattices were partially occupied.
