The mid-low grade of phosphate ore, rich by the silicate and carbonate gangue minerals needs a special treatment using flotation process. Where collectors play pivotal role. This study was conducted to enrich an untreated ore (without washing, desliming, hydrocycling, etc.), with eco-friendly economic collector based on soybean oil. Different analytical techniques such as UV-Visible, ATR-FTIR s...

The topic of bone marrow lesions has been more widely discussed in recent years, especially in the knee literature. One such procedure to treat this pathology is back-filling the lesion with bone substitute materials, calcium phosphate (CaP), as just one example. This technique uses the principle of osteoconduction, CaP mimicking the composition of subchondral bone and creating a scaffold for b...

Over 1.5 years continuous piloting of a municipal wastewater plant upgraded with a double membrane system (ca. 0.6 m(3) d(-1) of product water produced) have demonstrated the feasibility of achieving high water quality with a water yield of 90% by combining a membrane bioreactor (MBR) with a submerged ultrafiltration membrane followed by a reverse osmosis membrane (RO). The novelty of the propo...

Local utilities often face problems of local industrial wastes, storm water disposal due to existing strict regulations. For many local industries, the problem of wastewater treatment and discharge into surface reservoirs can’t be solved through the use of conventional biological treatment techniques. Current discharge standards require very strict removal of a number of impurities such as ammo...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of different level of dicalcium phosphate on growth, digestibility, rumen fermentation and some blood parameters. Eighteen growing local breed male lambs (about 3 months old) with an average weight of 23.61 ±0.58 Kg were divided randomly into three feeding groups for 150 days, fed on: Ration one ( R1) : CFM contained1% dicalcium phospha...

The present study was conducted on efficiency of utilization of dietary energy for milk production in lactating crossbred cattle. 18 lactating crossbred cattle of early to mid-lactation, approximate body weight (375.39±23.43 kg), milk yield, parity and stage of lactation were divided into three groups of six animals each and were fed 0, 50 and 100% diammonium phosphate (DAP) in the mineral mixt...

PURPOSE We investigated the influence of intraoperative continuous tranexamic acid (TA) infusion on the amount of blood transfusion required in emergency surgery for type A acute aortic dissection. METHODS The study was based on the data of 55 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for type A acute aortic dissection. The patients were divided into 2 groups for comparison: Group T, consist...

this research was conducted to estimate the amount of microbial protein synthesis in iranian buffaloes' rumen. four male swamp buffaloes with average live body weight of 140±10 kg were used in this study. four diets of 0 (control diet, 100% forage), 15, 30 and 45% concentrate in a 4 × 4 latin square were tested. the results indicated that by increasing the concentrate level in the diet of swamp...
