  2. Ketonic decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketonic_decarboxylation

    The dry distillation of calcium acetate to give acetone was reported by Charles Friedel in 1858 [3] and until World War I ketonization was the premier commercial method for its production. [ 4 ] Ketonic decarboxylation of propanoic acid over a manganese(II) oxide catalyst in a tube furnace affords 3-pentanone .

  3. Adipic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipic_acid

    Structural formula of the adipate dianion. The anionic (HO 2 C(CH 2) 4 CO 2 −) and dianionic (− O 2 C(CH 2) 4 CO 2 −) forms of adipic acid are referred to as adipates. An adipate compound is a carboxylate salt or ester of the acid. Some adipate salts are used as acidity regulators, including: Sodium adipate (E number E356) Potassium ...

  4. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

    Calcium regulation in the human body. [6]The plasma ionized calcium concentration is regulated within narrow limits (1.3–1.5 mmol/L). This is achieved by both the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, and the parathyroid glands constantly sensing (i.e. measuring) the concentration of calcium ions in the blood flowing through them.

  5. Dry distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_distillation

    Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids). The method may involve pyrolysis or thermolysis, or it may not (for instance, a simple mixture of ice and glass could be separated without breaking any chemical bonds, but organic matter contains a greater diversity of molecules, some of which are likely to break).

  6. Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

    The chylomicrons circulate throughout the body, giving the blood plasma a milky or creamy appearance after a fatty meal. [ citation needed ] Lipoprotein lipase on the endothelial surfaces of the capillaries, especially in adipose tissue , but to a lesser extent also in other tissues, partially digests the chylomicrons into free fatty acids ...

  7. Molecular distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_distillation

    Molecular distillation is a type of short-path vacuum distillation, characterized by an extremely low vacuum pressure, 0.01 torr or below, which is performed using a molecular still. [1] It is a process of separation, purification and concentration of natural products, complex and thermally sensitive molecules for example vitamins and ...

  8. McCabe–Thiele method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCabe–Thiele_method

    The rectifying section operating line for the section above the inlet feed stream of the distillation column (shown in green in Figure 1) starts at the intersection of the distillate composition line and the x = y line and continues at a downward slope of L / (D + L), where L is the molar flow rate of reflux and D is the molar flow rate of the ...

  9. Bowditch effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowditch_effect

    When a higher heart rate occurs, for example due to adrenergic stimulation, the L-type calcium channel has increased activity. The sodium-calcium exchanger (which allows 3 Na + to flow down its electrochemical gradient in exchange for 1 Ca ++ ion to flow out of the cell) works to decrease the levels of intracellular calcium.
