The effect of applied DC potentials both in the positive and negative range, on the activity and growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, is discussed. In general, application of positive potentials up to +1000 mV in an acid bioleaching medium was found to be detrimental to bacterial activity, while the impression of negative potentials enhanced both their activity and growth through electrochemica...

In this paper, we systematically investigated the influence of fluoride on the morphology and electrochemical property of Co₃O₄ nanostructures for hydrazine detection. The results showed that with the introduction of NH₄F during the synthesis process of Co₃O₄, both Co(CO₃)0.5(OH)·0.11H₂O and Co(OH)F precursors would be generated. To understand the influence of F on the morphology and electroche...

One-dimensional molybdenum dioxide-carbon nanofibers (MoO2-CNFs) were prepared using an electrospinning technique followed by calcination, using sol-gel precursors and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as a processing aid. The resulting samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area measur...

In this study, the synergistic effects of abrasion and corrosion on UNS S30403, S31603 and S32760 stainless steels have been investigated using micro-abrasion test rig. The stainless steel samples have been studied under both pure abrasion (PA) and abrasion–corrosion (AC) conditions imulated by using silicon carbide based slurries in either distilled water or 3.5% sodium chloride solutions. Tes...

The β titanium alloy Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta (TNZT) has been recently developed as a new implant material. This alloy is composed of non-toxic elements with low modulus of elasticity and is ideal for implant applications. The aim of present study was to evaluate the corrosion resistance of this alloy in an artificial physiological solution. In the present work, the electrochemical behavior of TNZT allo...

The work presents a research on preparation and physical and electrochemical characterisation of dc magnetron sputtered Pd films envisaged for application as hydrogen storage in a chip-integrated hydrogen microenergy system. The influence of the changes in the sputtering pressure on the surface structure, morphology, and roughness was analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micro...

The corrosion of reinforced concrete without and with the addition graphite powder low carbon content was evaluated. Phase identification processes physical-electrochemical properties were analyzed using X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), half-cell potential, electrochemical noise (EN) linear polarization resistance (LPR). Samples studied for 168 days in sal...

in the present work the effects of plasma nitridization on the passivation behavior of aisi 316l was investigated. to do this; nitriding treatments were carried out at 420°c for 1, 2, 4 and 16 hours. the phase composition and structure of the nitrided layer were studied by low angle x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. the hardness of samples also was evaluated by vickers microha...

The Glucose Oxidase (Gox) electrochemical sensors were used to detect a little amount of glucose. In this paper, the pure platinum plate (length of 5 cm and a width of 3 mm), the Ag/AgCl electrode and platinum electrode (diameter of 1 mm) were applied as a working electrode (W.E), reference electrode and auxiliary electrode sequential. Factors measured, glucose concentration and pH is Phosphate...
