Title Production and Purification of Silicon by Magnesiothermic Reduction of Silica Fume

Excerpt A new approach is discussed for the generation of high purity silicon from silica fume (SF), which is a waste by-product from the manufacture of metallurgical grade silicon. Process steps were developed and optimized including purification of SF, reduction by magnesium, and post-reduction leaching. Reduction was carried out successfully with initial HCl leached SF in […]

Title Characterization of Murine Intestinal Mucus Layer Gene Expression during Postnatal Maturation

Excerpt The objective of this work was to characterize the expression pattern of the main intestinal mucin and glycosyltransferases genes in the distal ileum, caecum, proximal and distal colon of 5, 10, 15, 21, 25 and 32 days old mouse pups by real-time PCR. We found that all genes considered, except for Muc13 followed a spatio-temporal […]
