In a molten zinc bath in continuous galvanizing line (CGL), top dross particles crystallize as Fe–Al–Zn intermetallic compounds. These easily adhere to the steel sheets causing surface defects. Therefore, controlling is key issue. Our study focused on structural and mechanical characterizations of using an electron probe micro analyzer, X-ray diffraction, back scattering Vickers hardness measur...

Abstract Effective recycling of zinc-containing industrial wastes, most importantly electric arc furnace dust, is tremendous importance for the circular economy steel and zinc industry. Herein, we propose a comprehensive kinetic model combined carbothermic metallothermic reduction oxide in metal bath process. Pyro-metallurgical, large-scale lab experiments carbon-saturated iron melt as agent mo...

Abstract Electrodeposition of nickel from slightly acidic gluconate solutions containing chloride or/and sulfate ions was investigated. Electrochemical measurements correlated with bath speciations showed complex and complexes as crucial species affecting cathodic reactions in a potential range up to ?1.3V. At more negative potentials, deposition governed by release cation nickel-gluconate comp...

Zinc is a vital micronutrient to all organisms and it is therefore very important to determine the mechanisms that regulate cellular zinc uptake. Previously, we reported on zinc uptake transporters from zebrafish (Danio rerio; DrZIP1) and Fugu pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes; FrZIP1) that facilitated cellular zinc uptake of high affinity (K(m)<0.5 microM) in both CHSE214 [chinook salmon (Oncorhyn...

The objective of this research work is to optimize the time of exposure for hot dip galvanizing of mild steel, so as to achieve such a microstructure of zinc coating that protects mild steel for long against atmospheric corrosion. In order to decide the above mentioned parameter the polished samples, one at a time, were dipped in to 500 g molten zinc at 460 to 470 oC in the crucible for a diffe...

This work aims to manufacture photodetectors from semiconducting bilayer materials of zinc oxide nanorods and coated with a thin layer CdZnS by chemical bath deposition method. The effect annealing time on the optical electrical properties prepared devices parameters was also studied. films were thermally treated at temperature 200 °C for several times purpose comparison. 15, 30, 35, 60 min, re...

The effect of grain size and the interaction of heavy metals on As sorption by marble waste with different particle sizes was investigated. Acidic solutions containing only arsenic and a mixture of arsenic, lead, zinc, and cadmium were put in contact with the marble waste. The amount of metal(loid)s that were immobilized was calculated using the difference between the concentration in the acidi...
