carbon (c) and organic nitrogen (n) mineralization processes play key roles in supplying nutrient elements essential for plant growth. on the other hand, since the low organic matter content of agricultural soils of arid and semi-arid areas, microbial activities are often limited by carbon in these types of soils. enhancement of microbial activities and populations could be achieved by returnin...

Today, sulfur removal from fuels has improved by new adsorbents such as zeolites that needs extensive studies. This study investigates the feasibility of sulfur compounds adsorption on improved nano zeolite existing in organic fuels and desorption of them from nano-adsorbent.Some properties of improved nano zeolite were analyzed to receive better sulfur compounds adsorption.<e...

The low sulfur amino acid content of legume seeds restricts their nutritive value for animals. We have investigated the limitations to the accumulation of sulfur amino acids in the storage proteins of narrow leaf lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) seeds. Variation in sulfur supply to lupin plants affected the sulfur amino acid accumulation in the mature seed. However, when sulfur was in abundant sup...

In this research, Ni(8%)/TiO2/Zeolite NaX nanophotocatalyst was synthesized andevaluated as a desulfurizer catalyst from hydrophane 10 base oil. Various tests,including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDXA), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), AtomicForce Microscopy (AFM), and BET/BJH were used to evaluat...

introduction nowadays oilseed crops are considered as the second most important sources of energy in the diet. in this regard, cultivation of oilseed crops such as safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is important due to quality of oil seed and medicinal properties. different planting dates leads to adaptation of vegetative and reproductive growth of plant to temperature, day-length and various ...

introduction : halitosis is a common problem that affects a large portion of the population worldwide. the origin of this condition is oral in 90% of cases and systemic in 10% of cases. the foul odor is caused mainly by volatile sulfur compounds produced by gram-negative bacteria. however, it has recently been found that anaerobic gram-positive bacteria also produce hydrogen sulfide (h 2 s) in ...

The kinetics of sulfur oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in shaking flasks and a 10-L reactor was studied. The observed linearity of growth and sulfur oxidation was explained by sulfur limitation. Total cell yield was not significantly different for exponential growth as compared to growth during the sulfur-limiting phase. Kinetic studies of sulfur oxidation by growing and nongrowing ...

The present research analyzes air quality in Ahvaz, a city in the south of Iran, paying special attention to sulfur dioxide (SO2). In order to prepare the average data in the city, measurements have been carried out between 2009 and 2010 in two different locations. Relations between sulfur dioxide and some meteorological parameters have been calculated statistically, using the daily average dat...

abstract a large number of studies have shown that direct application of rock phosphate dose do not have enough efficiency to release phosphorus compared to chemical fertilizers. the main purpose of this study was to increase the efficiency of direct application of rock phosphate. incorporation of rock phosphate with sulfur, organic matter and inoculation with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and phos...
