CHAPTER 1
1.1 Introduction
Separation technology has acquired significance in different industrial usages
[1]. Membrane technology is favored over other purification methods such
as disinfection or distillation owing to the absence of chemical additives,
energy yield, and the convenience of the technology [2]. In other words,
membranes suggest energy-effective processes versus available separation
processes [1]. Membrane technology renders a preferable operating effi-
ciency along with small energy and performance costs. A lot of effort has
been focused on making unique materials or structures with a higher capa-
bility to improve the membrane performance [3]. To attain membranes with
the best performance, different kinds of materials have been applied. Among
them, polymeric membranes suggest an extensive scope of molecular trans-
fer features with more straightforward methods and lower membrane pro-
duction costs [1]. Commercial membranes are mainly manufactured from
polymeric materials containing polysulfone and polyamides [2]. Neverthe-
less, polymeric membranes involve a challenge of choosing between selec-
tivity and permeability of penetrants. The focus to eliminate this challenge is
to combine excellent-performance particles like zeolites, metal-organic
frameworks, and nanoparticles such as porous layers or nanotubes in the
membrane; the presence of different nanoparticles augments the perfor-
mance of separation as well as physicochemical features of the membrane
[1,4]. A novel approach in the development of membranes is incorporating
nanomaterials that can improve the porosity, reactivity, and permeability of
the membranes. Considering this approach, various types of membranes can
be constructed, such as thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes or
mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) [5]. Embedding nanomaterials in
The tops of the juniperus sabina when powdered and given to dogs
produce violent colic, vomiting, bloody fæces and urine, spasms,
paralysis, and death, with lesions of gastro-intestinal and uro-genital
inflammation. In cattle and sheep they caused tympany, anorexia,
colic, hyperthermia, and constipation followed by a bloody diarrhœa.
Horses took 4, 8 and even 12 ozs. twice daily for eight days without
any ill effect (Sick).
Treatment. Evacuate the stomach and give demulcents.
OTHER VEGETABLE IRRITANTS.
List of gastro-intestinal irritants. Common Symptoms. General treatment:
emesis, stomach pump, diluents, demulcents, laxatives, enemata, anodynes,
antiseptics, tannic acid. Prevention.
Among vegetables which produce more or less disturbance of the
digestion, or congestion of the digestive organs Cadeac names the
following: Acorns in horses (Morton); tares; bird’s trefoil (lotus
corniculatus, Colin); vetches at ripening (Gerlach); laburnum
(cytissus) horse and ox (Cornevin); hybrid and sweet trefoil
(Pilz); officinal melilot (Carrey); the field poppy, digitalis and
snapdragon often mixed with wheat and rye (Cornevin); conium
maculatum, cicuta virosa, yew leaves, lolium temulentum,
and other forms of ryegrass when ripening; chickweed
(stellaria) killed 60 horses in 200 (Semmer); clematis, aconite,
tobacco, male fern, aloes, horsetail (equisetum) when full of
silica; mercurialis annua, wild radish, resinous plants,
potato tops, potatoes in excess, or green from exposure to the
sun; Œnanthe Crocata (water dropwort); giant fennel,
anemone, phytolacca (poke root); buckwheat in flower
(Moisant); St. John’s wort, various species of lathyrus,
rhododendron, artichokes in excess, spurry seeds, galega,
bryony, the fruit of melia azedarach (in pigs) (Dreux); nux
vomica, podophyllum.
It may be added that the plants credited with causing the “loco”
disease (Astragalus mollissimus, Hornii, and lentiginosus, the
oxytropis Lambertii, mutifloris and deflexa) cause diarrhœa
and sometimes ulceration of the intestines.
The farina of mustard is sometimes mixed with linseed cake and
(developing the active principles of that agent) produces a severe or
even fatal gastro-enteritis in cattle and sheep. The wild mustard of
the fields, being allowed to grow with the flax, or rape, the seeds
mingle when harvested and thus the cake comes to contain an
injurious quantity of the mustard.
Symptoms. These will vary much according to the predominating
action of the individual poison on other organs, but when they
irritate the gastro-intestinal mucosa they have this in common, that
they impair appetite and rumination, produce colicy pains (perhaps
salivation and vomiting), and constipation or diarrhœa of varying
intensity.
Treatment. Apart from the individual treatment demanded by the
special symptoms of disorder of other organs, it may follow the same
general line for all: Unload the stomach by tepid water, ipecacuan,
with tickling of the soft palate, or by the stomach pump or tube, and
follow this by abundance of mucilaginous drinks. In cases attended
by constipation a laxative of Glauber salts, or aloes may be
demanded, or assiduous mucilaginous injections. With an excess of
irritation anodynes may be indicated. When there is tympany and
fœtor of the discharges these must be met by non-irritant antiseptics,
such as naphthalin or salol. For many of the vegetable poisons tannic
acid proves advantageous, being at once an antiferment, and fitted to
unite with organic alkaloids, rendering them less soluble and
otherwise often changing their properties.
Prevention should be sought by removing all such poisonous
plants from pastures, or land used for raising fodder crops.
POISONING BY CANTHARIDES AND OTHER
INSECTS.
Poisons in spoiled food: Moulds, rust, smut, bacteria, toxins. Action of moulds
on rabbits, on alimentary and nervous systems. Smuts, ergots and their congeners.
Tetanizing and paralyzing products. Duration of symptoms.
Prominent symptoms, asthenia and vertigo. Vary with cryptogam, merge into
zymotic diseases. Causes: grain harvested damp and moulded, bluish or greenish,
hay greenish white, brown or black, clover reddish, musty fodder, and diuresis,
indigestion, gastric intestinal and systemic paresis, somnolence, delirium. Rusts,
spring and summer, their evolution. Bunt, smut, produce fever and paralysis,
spasms, abortions and dry gangrene, buccal erosions; evolution of ergot, honey
dew on leguminous plants causing skin disease, bacterial ferments, diplococcus,
streptococcus from foul water, causing enteritis. Symptoms: adynamic, dullness,
blunted sense, pendent head, ears, eyelids, congested, yellow, ecchymosed
conjunctiva, fever, tympany, colic, constipation, dung small, round, coated masses,
vertigo, sometimes fatal diarrhœa, or colliquative diuresis; vertiginous: fever,
anorexia, yellow mucosæ, tardy breathing, costiveness colics, stupor, somnolence,
giddiness, heavy steps, stumbling, delirium, push head against wall, clinch jaws,
grind teeth, make walking or trotting or plunging motions, or pull on halter and
fall, amaurosis, paralysis, coma. Remissions. Death in one day or upward.
Resumption of functions and recovery. Diagnosis: from meningo-encephalitis.
Lesions: gastro-intestinal congestion, infiltration, ecchymosis, fermenting ingesta,
congestion of mesenteric glands, liver, brain and meninges. Leucin and tyrosin in
urine. Treatment: stomach pump, antiferments, potassium iodide, purgatives,
enemata; for brain, bleeding, sedatives, ice, snow, elevation, derivatives, prevent
mechanical injury.
