Aluminium, iron and plastic are materials which extensively used at both industry individual levels. However, significant amounts of aluminium, end up in the environment. Specifically, bottle caps made these often thrown away, with or without bottles, appear among common debris entering world’s oceans beaches. More than 20 million lids have been identified during beach-cleaning campaigns over l...

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a strict acidophilic chemolithoautotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy from reduced inorganic sulfur species or ferrous iron oxidation under aerobic conditions. Carbon felt electrodes were pre-colonized by A. ferrooxidansATCC 23270T using ferrous iron or sulfur as electron donors, via the addition (or not) of a mixture of C14 acyl-homoserine lactones (C14...

Solvothermaly synthesized zirconium oxide nanopowders, pure and doped with various amounts of iron ions (1?20 %), were used as modifiers glassy carbon electrodes. The modified electrodes tested in the reaction electrochemical oxidation 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) order to investigate influence doping on performance zirconia matrix. techniques cyclic voltammetry impedance spectroscopy employed. ...

alumina is one of the most widely used ceramic materials as catalysts, catalyst supports and absorbents, and also wear resistant coating. this study focused on fabricating and characterizing of alumina ceramic nanoparticles fabricated using new and simple sol-gel method. aluminium oxide (al2o3) nanoparticles were synthesized by iron (iii) nitrate 9-hydrate as precursor. physicochemical properti...

The effects of aluminium and aluminium-citrate on some serum parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism in male Wistar rats were investigated. Daily intraperitoneal administrations of 1 mg/kg body weight of aluminium or aluminiumcitrate (1: 1) for 50 days led to the elevation of serum insulin by 24 or 40 percent respectively, with the concomitant decrease in serum glucose concentrations ...
