The vapour phase dehydrogenation of 3-carene has been studied over chromia, chromia–alumina, chromia doped with potassium, and chromia–alumina doped with potassium and fluoride ions. Addition of potassium to chromia and chromia–alumina up to 1% by weight does not significantly affect the overall conversion of 3-carene whereas it increases its dehydrogenation to p- and m-cymenes. Potassium ions above 1% lower both the total conversion and dehydrogenation of 3-carene to cymenes. The ratio of p- to m-cymene over chromia–alumina is enhanced by added potassium ions up to 2%, but over chromia it remains unaffected. Addition of potassium to chromia decreases the formation of menthanes and menthadienes but its addition to chromia–alumina reduces the formation of menthanes and increases that of menthadienes. Impregnation of chromia–alumina with hydrofluoric acid suppresses the formation of menthadienes and increases that of menthanes. All these are explained in terms of the effect of added potassium and fluoride ions on the acidity of the catalysts.

The influences of nitrogen, hydrogen, and pyridine on the conversion of 3-carene into various products over chromia catalyst at 450 °C and over chromia–alumina at 400 °C have been investigated. Nitrogen acts as a diluent over these catalysts; hydrogen at low partial pressures enhances the formation of cymenes over chromia, but suppresses its formation over chromia–alumina. Increase of the partial pressure of hydrogen increases the proportion of men thanes over chromia–alumina, but decreases it over chromia catalyst. Pyridine suppresses the over-all conversion of 3-carene and the formation of cymenes over chromia and chromia–alumina; however, it increases the formation of menthadienes over chromia–alumina. These observations are explained in terms of the acidity of chromia and chromia–alumina, the diluting effects of nitrogen, hydrogen, and pyridine, and their ability to adsorb and desorb over the catalyst surfaces.

The influence of contact time on the dehydrogenation of 3-carene over reduced chromia and chromia-alumina catalysts has been investigated at 450 and 400°C respectively. For the dehydrogenation, reduced chromia- alumina catalyst is more active than reduced chromia alone. It has been found that the dehydrogenating ability of reduced chromia is superior to that of oxidized chromia. The effect of water vapour on reduced chromia showed an initial suppression of its reactivity, but at intermediate values increased its activity. Progressive increase of water vapour was seen to modify the active sites of reduced chromia, an effect similar to that of the oxidized sample. ��� The dehydrogenation of 3-carene, over chromia, follows second-order kinetics. The energy of activation is found to be greater for oxidized than for reduced chromia. Impregnation of chromia with potassium decreases the activation energy of reduced chromia and enhances its dehydrogenation ability by suppressing the side reactions. ��� The observed experimental data are explained in terms of the acidity of the catalysts, oxidation states of chromium ions and the promoting influence of potassium ions.

Hydrofluoric acid is a highly corrosive acid widely used in various industries. When in contact with skin it causes local and systemic reactions due to the generation of fluoride ions. Severe burns are associated with high mortality rates, approaching 100%. We present a 21-year-old man with 15% full thickness burns, severe metabolic acidosis, hypoxia and electrolyte disturbances. The burns were treated with topical and subcutaneous injections of calcium gluconate, and the patient was given intravenous fluid, calcium chloride, magnesium and insulin-glucose infusions. Continuous renal replacement therapy was initiated due to the severity of the systemic toxicity. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was considered as it plays a vital role when conventional therapies fail. Our patient suffered multiple cardiac arrests and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was conducted several times but despite extensive efforts, he did not survive.

In the acidic oral environments containing fluoride ions, hydrofluoric acid (HF) would form and affect the color of Titanium porcelain crown, but there is a lack of information on how color is affected by this oral fluid. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various artificial saliva simulating oral environments in the presence of fluoride ions with different pH value on the color of self-made dental opaque, body porcelain, belonging to the Na2O-K2O–MgO–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 glass system. Disc-shaped specimens, 5 mm diameter and a 2-mm thickness, were made by firing. Specimens were immersed in artificial saliva in the presence of fluoride ions with different pH value for 7, 14, 21 days, and then the color of the specimens was compared with the color of the initial specimen. The interactions were present in L*a*b* values between pH value and the day of immersion. The changes in L*a*b* color data as the day of immersion and pH value increased were revealed, which can resulted in perceptual color changes in L*a*b* color parameters.

The aromatization of α-pinene in the vapor phase over chromia gel and chromia–alumina catalysts prepared from aluminas of different acidity has been studied. The acidity of alumina support has a remarkable influence on the composition of the aromatics resulting from the dehydrogenation of α-pinene. Over weakly acidic chromia–alumina doped with 1% sodium catalyst, α-pinene is aromatized to p-cymene, 1,2,4- and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzenes with traces of toluene and xylenes, whereas over the strongly acidic chromia – pure alumina and chromia–alumina containing 5% HF catalysts it gives considerable amount of m-cymene, toluene, and tetramethylbenzenes. A satisfactory mechanism to explain the formation of these compounds is offered.

The effects of stresses induced by four ions (potassium, magnesium, aluminum and fluoride ions) on the growth and activity ofAcidthiobacillus ferrooxidansLD-1 (At.fLD-1) were investigated. The results showed that these four ions inhibited the growth and activity ofAt.fLD-1 to different extents. The inhibition effect of these four ion stresses followed the order potassium < magnesium < aluminum < fluoride. The inhibition effects of the trivalent metal ion (aluminum) are greater than divalent (magnesium) and monovalent (potassium) ions at the same concentrations. The inhibition of cations onAt.fLD-1 was stronger than that of anions.

The effects of sodium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid on barley were determined and compared following treatments of seedling root tips at three different concentrations (1 × 10−2M, 1 × 10−4M, 1 × 10−6M) and for six different durations (12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hr). Treatment with a 1 × 10−2M concentration of either sodium fluoride or hydrofluoric acid markedly slowed the rate of seedling growth. However, no inhibition of growth was observed following treatment with a 1 × −4M or a 1 × 10−6M concentration of either agent. Chromosomal aberrations were induced and mitosis was inhibited by each of the three different concentrations of both sodium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid. The sodium fluoride treatments induced a higher frequency of chromosomal aberrations than did the hydrofluoric acid treatments, possibly due to differences in pH and in the total available fluoride ions. These treatments produced bridges, fragments, chromosome gaps, binucleate cells and micronuclei.
