The influence of organic additives, β-cyclodextrin, HEDTA, L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid on crystal growth of calcium carbonate via vapour diffusion method has been investigated. In the absence of additive, regular rhombohedral calcium carbonate crystal habit resulted. Whereas in presence of additive, calcite with truncated, aggregated rhombohedral sub crystals and elongated hexagonal mor...

The improving effect of rate promoters has been investigated by experiments at pilot plant scale in conditions close to the operating conditions of the top zone of a typical hot potassium carbonate industrial packed bed absorber. The evaluation of promoter enhancement factor has been done by successive experiments with absorption of CO2 into water, into carbonate solution and into promoted carb...

in the present work, high temperature tensile properties of medium density polyethylene (mdpe) and its nanocomposites are investigated. for this purpose mdpe reinforced with different weight percentages of nano-sized calcium (2, 5, 10) are produced by compression moulding method. tensile tests have been carried out at different temperatures, i.e. 30, 60, 90c using thermomechanical analysis (tm...

Abstract: The present work is conducted to investigate the effect of texture and carbonate content on internal friction angle of carbonate soils. Carbonate soils are majorly found in the bed of shallow waters and also offshores in tropical regions. Recently there is a huge construction projects including oil and gas extraction platform and facilities, harbors, refineries, huge bridges and ot...

introduction: saffron is one of the most important economic plants in the khorasan province. awareness of soil quality in agricultural lands is essential for the best management of lands and for obtaining maximum economic benefit. in general, plant growth is a function of environmental factors especially chemical and physical properties of soil (20). it has been demonstrated that there was a po...

V ARIOUS salts have been used in ruminant rations in attempts to reduce the incidence of urinary calculi. Bushman et al. (1967) have recently reported on the relative effectiveness of ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride and calcium carbonate. Also, a protective effect against phosphatic urolithiasis has been assigned to dietary potassium by Robbins et al. (1965). Crookshank (19...

information about forms of phosphorus (p) is important for the evaluation of p status in soil and also understanding of the soil fertility and plant nutrition. to obtain such information and to determine the relationship between the p forms from soil characteristics, amount of different organic and inorganic p forms of 20 soil composite samples of eastern azerbaijan province, iran were determin...

Results: The rise in serum calcium observed after ingestion of calcium carbonate with a calcium peak of 0.56 mg/dl (p=0.032), and it was higher when compared to SFM 0.26 mg/dl (p=0.284). There was no significant elevation of serum calcium after ingestion of SFM. The calcium responses were negative after the administration of omeprazole in comparison with the use of calcium carbonate and SFM, re...
