Field flow fractionation is a family of separation techniques applicable to characterize various particulate materials of different nature. In this paper, formation of porous graphite during milling has been investigated by gravitational field flow fractionation. The results from gravitational field flow fractionation were compared to those from Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. The both techniques have ...

abstract in order to assess the availability of phosphorous (p), different methods have been proposed in the last decades. the results of these methods in soils with various ph, calcium carbonate, organic matter, al and fe oxides and hydroxides and other properties especially in iranian soils can not be used. in addition, knowledge about transformation of p forms is necessary for perception of ...

abstract with increasing population, mine activities for metal proceeding are also increasing, so environment will be influenced by contaminant especially heavy metals. in situ immobilization of heavy metals using inexpensive amendments is considered as a simple and cost-effective approach for reducing heavy metal contamination. in this research we used sequential extraction for assessing reduc...

Extracellular proteins of wild-type Vibrio alginolyticus were compared with those of copper-resistant and copper-sensitive mutants. One copper-resistant mutant (Cu40B3) constitutively produced an extracellular protein with the same apparent molecular mass (21 kDa) and chromatographic behavior as copper-binding protein (CuBP), a copper-induced supernatant protein which has been implicated in cop...

It has become clear that copper toxicity is playing a major role in Alzheimer's disease; but why is the brain copper toxicity with cognition loss in Alzheimer's disease so much different clinically than brain copper toxicity in Wilson's disease, which results in a movement disorder? Furthermore, why is the inorganic copper of supplement pills and in drinking water so much more damaging to cogni...

the interaction of copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions and proteinase k from tritirachium album limber has been investigated employing uv spectroscopy and kinetics measurements. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles of cuo for proteinase k. in this paper we compare the effect of copper oxide nanoparticles with the effect of copper ions on proteinase k stabilit...

Uranium groundwater contamination due to U mining and processing affects numerous sites globally. Bioreduction of soluble, mobile U(VI) to U(IV)-bearing solids is potentially a very effective remediation strategy. Uranium isotopes (238U/235U) have been utilized to track the progress of microbial reduction, with laboratory and field studies finding a ∼1‰ isotopic fractionation, with the U(IV) pr...
