A new procedure is described for silver impregnation of thin sections for electron microscopy. Sections of various tissues, fixed in OsO(4) and embedded in methacrylate, were treated with an ammoniacal silver solution, directly or after oxidation with periodic acid or hydrogen peroxide. After OsO(4) fixation all cellular membranous systems exhibit a primary argentaffinity probably due to the re...

biglar permo-triassic bauxite deposit is located in ~15 km northwest of abgarm, southwest of ghazvin province, west of central iran. it consists of 8 stratiform and discontinuous bauxite lenses lying along the contact of ruteh (permian) and elika (triassic) carbonate formations. petrographically, the bauxite ores exhibit collomorphic-fluidal, pseudo-breccia, pseudo-porphyritic, panidio-morphic-...

the micromorphology of pedogenic carbonate features in calcareous soils of arid and semiarid regions of kohgilouye province, southwestern iran, has been studied to determine their genesis and distribution in different climatic regions. eight representative pedons (from a total number of 24 pedons) were studied in aridic-ustic (minimum rainfall), ustic and xeric (maximum rainfall) soil moisture ...

Bacterial leaching is the extraction of metals from their ores using microorganisms. The most important player in the bioleaching process is. 4 Bacterial Attachment on Mineral Surfaces 200. 5 Microbial Diversity in Bioleaching Environments 200. Minerals are obtained using a leaching process.greater understanding of the mechanism of bacterial leaching of sulphide minerals. This latter process wh...

fuel oil used in power plants contain metal impurities like vanadium. after combustion, this metal remains in boiler fuel ash in the form of oxide. in this research, extraction of vanadium oxide from fuel ash has been investigated. two processes were used for this purpose. a pyro- hydrometallurgy and a hydrometallurgy process. in the pyro-hydrometallurgy process, using sodium carbonate, salt ro...

a total of 148 groundwater samples were collected from bore wells from thirumanimuttar sub-basin for two seasons to identify major geochemical process activated to alter groundwater chemistry. the study revealed relationships with the lithology and anthropogenic process. groundwater in the region was dominated by na – ca – mg and cl and hco3 types. the (ca +mg) versus tz+ plot for both seas...

Upon rewetting, lichens lose polyols through leaching. We quantified leaching losses for 21 species under simulated rainfall. Polyol concentrations in these lichens range from 1.0 to 8.8%, with a mean of 2.8%. Leaching losses range up to about 7.5 mg (polyol)/g (lichen dry weight) in a typical rain event. The rate of polyol leaching declines exponentially, becoming negligible within 1 hour of c...

Biglar Permo-Triassic bauxite deposit is located in ~15 km northwest of Abgarm, southwest of Ghazvin province, west of central Iran. It consists of 8 stratiform and discontinuous bauxite lenses lying along the contact of Ruteh (Permian) and Elika (Triassic) carbonate formations. Petrographically, the bauxite ores exhibit collomorphic-fluidal, pseudo-breccia, pseudo-porphyritic, panidio-morphic-...
