What's the difference between nepheline and silica?

Nepheline


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Nephelite

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Addition of the "nepheline coagulant" in an amount of 1 to 2 per cent (by the weight) to the fermentation broth markedly increased the rate of the fermentation broth filtration.
  • (2) The use of the "nepheline coagulant" in an amount of 1 to 3 per cent (by the weight) of the volume of the oleandomycin fermentation broth provided butyl acetate extraction of the antibiotic without formation of stable emulsion.
  • (3) It was shown that "nepheline coagulant"--Al2 (SO4)3-18H2O was effective in coagulating the admixtures in oleandomycin fermentation broth.

Silica


Definition:

  • (n.) Silicon dioxide, SiO/. It constitutes ordinary quartz (also opal and tridymite), and is artifically prepared as a very fine, white, tasteless, inodorous powder.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We have previously shown that intratracheally instilled silica (quartz) produces both morphologic evidence of emphysema and small-airway changes, and functional evidence of airflow obstruction.
  • (2) In the German Democratic Republic, patients with scleroderma and history of long term silica exposure are recognized as patients with occupational disease even though pneumoconiosis is not clearly demonstrated on X-ray film.
  • (3) Human gingival fibroblasts were allowed to attach and spread on bio-glasses for 1-72 h. Unreactive silica glass and cell culture polystyrene served as controls.
  • (4) The ADAM derivative of carnitine was separated from decomposition products of the reagent and related compounds such as amino acid derivatives on a silica gel column eluted with methanol-5% aqueous SDS-phosphoric acid (990:10:1).
  • (5) The deactivated columns had the residual silanols on the silica gel chemically inactivated to reduce the interaction with basic groups or analytes.
  • (6) We have investigated some of the factors which affect the retention times of these substances in reversed-phase HPLC on columns of 5-micron octadecylsilyl silica.
  • (7) The corresponding hydrides, mono-n-butyltin hydride, di-n-butyltin hydride, tri-n-butyltin hydride, monophenyltin hydride, diphenyltin hydride triphenyltin hydride, are detected by electron-capture gas chromatography after clean-up by silica gel column chromatography.
  • (8) The length of the hydrocarbon chains of the surface-modified silica supports had no significant influence on the selectivity.
  • (9) A novel type of ion exchanger was prepared by multipoint covalent binding of polystyrene chains onto the surface of porous silica followed by polymer-analogous modification of the bonded layer.
  • (10) The analytes were rapidly separated on an affinity column packed with phenylboronate-bonded silica.
  • (11) Using thin layer chromatography on fluorescent silica gel plates, 5 indoles were identified and 6 unknown substances isolated from the pineal incubate and from both extracts.
  • (12) Our results clearly demonstrate that capillary GC analysis of amino acids using fused silica bonded-phase columns provides data with good precision and in general excellent agreement with ion-exchange analyses.
  • (13) Free haem itself was bound to the silica column but could be released by globin.
  • (14) The methanol-ammonia (20:1) and chloroform-methanol-ammonia (2:2:1) systems, used with silica-gel plates, are the most promising for rapid preliminary screening of tuna fish extracts for histamine.
  • (15) The presence of Ca2+ in silica gel is responsible for this improved yield of prostaglandin as the divalent metal ion stabilized prostaglandin synthetase activity in a remarkable way.
  • (16) Silica accumulated linearly in the mediastinal lymph nodes and thymus for several months after cessation of exposure, while negligible amounts were found in kidney, spleen, liver, and blood.
  • (17) Methods employing electroosmotic flow in an untreated silica capillary were found to provide, at best, only partial resolution of the 23 fragments in a 1-kbp DNA ladder.
  • (18) The galactose lipid was isolated by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and silica gel.
  • (19) Adsorption experiments were performed by combining virus and silica in 0.1-ionic-strength buffers of pH 4.0, 6.4, and 8.5.
  • (20) The extracts are analyzed via a gas chromatograph equipped with a DB-1301 widebore fused-silica capillary column and an electron capture detector.
