Herbicide compounds containing aromatic rings and chlorine atoms, such as 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4,5-T), cause serious environmental pollution. Furthermore, these compounds are very difficult to decompose by chemical, physical, and biological techniques. Fortunately, the high-voltage direct current electrochemical technique can be controlled to form a plasma on metallic electrodes. It creates active species, such as H 2 , O 2 , and H 2 O 2 , and free radicals, such as H • , O • , and OH • . Free radicals that have a high oxidation potential (e.g., OH • ) are highly effective in oxidizing benzene-oring compounds. Iron electrodes are used in the study to combine the dissolving process of the iron anode electrode to create Fe 2+ ions and the electrochemical Fenton reaction. In addition, the flocculation process by Fe(OH) 2 also occurs and the plasma appears with a voltage of 5 kV on the iron electrode in a solution of 30 mg L −1 of 2,4,5-T. After a period of time of the reaction, the aromatic-oring compounds containing chlorine were effectively treated, and the electric conductivity of the solution increased due to the amount of Cl − ions released in the solution and the decrease in the pH value. The degradable products of 2,4,5-T were qualitatively characterized by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS), and it was determined that straight-chain carboxylic acids are formed in the solution. These compounds are easy to oxidize thoroughly under appropriate conditions in a solution via OH • free radicals. Moreover, 2,4,5-T was also quantitatively analyzed using a calibration curve from GC−MS and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, this work also suggests that the performance of the treatment process can be optimized by controlling the technological factors, such as the input voltage, the distance between anodic and cathodic electrodes, the initial concentration of 2,4,5-T, and flowing air through the solution that represents an approximately 99.83% degradable efficiency. Finally, the work demonstrates a potential technology for treating the 2,4,5-T compound, particularly for environmental pollution treatments.
This experimental study aimed to evaluate if the effect simultaneously wavelengths of 780 nm and 940 nm enhances bone regeneration of the broken bone. Experiments on pets: 14 dogs, were randomly divided into 2 groups: group I (low-level laser therapy) and group II (control). The results showed that dogs in group I had better bone regeneration and bone marrow formation than the control group. Then, we treated 25 patients with different fracture levels. They agreed to enjoy our method. After treatment, the fracture is no longer visible on X-ray film. The majority of patients after treatment only feel no pain or mild pain. This suggests that osteoblasts are positively affected when projected by low-level laser. It is very practical for the treatment of older patients because osteoblasts grow slowly than osteoclast.
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.
