Gossan ore of sulfide zinc deposit contains abundant zinc, iron, and other metal elements, which is a significant resource with complex components can be utilized. In this study, new technology preparing ferrite from gossan was proposed. The effects Al2O3, CaO, SiO2 in on the formation were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area pore s...

Accumulation of nickel, lead, copper and zinc in the liver of a freshwater fish, Tor putitora has been studied from polluted waters of River Kabul at two different sites and compared with those from pristine Warsak Dam reservoir upstream of polluted part of the River Kabul. The liver of fish from polluted site showed higher concentration of zinc (1300% and 3100%), nickel (21.1% and 25.5%), lead...

Nickel-substituted cobalt ferrite–reduced graphene oxide (NCF-RGO) composite was synthesized using a facile one-pot chemical coprecipitation method. The addition of (GO) leads to the decrease in size NCF nanoparticles (< 10 nm) present nanocomposite, which plays role controlling their magnetic and dielectric properties. Nickel with lower ionic radius compared cobalt, its substitution along inco...

NiFe(2)O(4) multi-particle-chain nanofibres have been successfully fabricated using electrospinning followed by calcination, and their morphology, chemistry and crystal structure were characterized at the nanoscale. Individual NiFe(2)O(4) nanofibres were found to consist of many nanocrystallites stacked along the nanofibre axis. Chemical analysis shows that the atomic ratio of Ni : Fe is 1 : 2,...

An experimental investigation into material transfer and wear has been performed for the case of a ferrite probe sliding at high speeds (between 25 cm/set and 1250 cm/set) and low loads (10 gm) on a steel disk, a nickel plated disk, and a polymercoated disk, the latter containing finely dispersed abrasive particles. Autoradiographic methods together with microdensitometer analysis have been app...

Despite evidence of contamination in Antarctic coastal marine environments, no water-quality guidelines have been established for the region because of a paucity of biological effects data for local Antarctic species. Currently, there is limited information on the sensitivity of Antarctic microalgae to metal contamination, which is exacerbated by the lack of standard toxicity testing protocols ...

The optical properties of coatings pigmented with different black colorants were systematically investigated and their surface temperatures and cooling energy savings were estimated. The black coatings pigmented with chromite iron nickel black and manganese ferrite black spinel colorants are not cool enough to be energy efficient cool black coatings. The cool black coatings pigmented with NIR-t...
