Explicit Nernst-Planck approximation is used to study the kinetics of H(I)-metal ion-exchange processes for ions having different effective diffusion coefficients, that is, for non-isotopic exchange process. Kinetic studies of four heavy metal ions (Cd 2+ , Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Pb 2+ ) of environmental importance on the surface of acetonitrile stannic(IV) selenite composite cation exchanger were carried out successfully. On the basis of kinetic studies, various physical parameters, that is, fractional attainment of equilibrium U(τ), self-diffusion coefficients (D o ), energy of activation (E a ), and entropy of activation (ΔS*) are estimated to evaluate the mechanism of ion exchange on the surface of composite ion-exchange material. The activation entropy and energy revealed that the greater degree and minimum energy was achieved during forward ion-exchange process. The results revealed that the kinetic studies are very important for the economic and industrial applications of ion-exchange materials.
Delayed placement of one-piece implants is more commonly practiced than extraction and immediate placement. Most surgeons prefer surgeries using flaps as compared to flapless surgeries, and in most cases, one-piece implants were loaded immediately. Limited literature reveals both positive and negative results regarding the effect of a one-piece implant system on surrounding hard and soft tissues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
