In comparison with the original determination based on Weissenberg film data [Khan et al. (1970 ▶). Acta Cryst. B26, 1889-1892], the current redetermination of diammonium hydrogenarsenate(V) reveals all atoms with anisotropic displacement parameters and all H atoms localized. This allowed an unambiguous assignment of the hydrogen-bonding pattern, which is similar to that of the isotypic phospha...

Synthesis of a large number of simple and complex polymetaphosphate glasses of alkali metals with the general formulae (MXM1 -X)P03)fl and (MM_12PO3) has been described, where M and M' = Li,Na, K, Rb or Cs; M" = Be, Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba,Zn,Cd,Pb,CuorNi;andx = 1,,4or4.Thepreparations have been carried out by heating alkali dihydrogen phosphate, metal oxide (or carbonate) and diammonium hydrogen phosphate...

Due to the lack of scientific knowledge for the use of substrate and best fertilizing method in the growth of Araucaria excelsa, it is crucially important to find the most appropriate planting substrate and fertilizing method. The effect of conventional fertilizing method and the application of Fe nanofertilizer were studied on the growth of A. excelsa in which six fertilizing methods and three...

The present study investigates the changes in microstructure and microchemistry (particularly Ca/P ratio) during whisker formation on the surface of a monolithic TTCP powder in a basic phosphoric acid solution. The XRD results indicate that when TTCP powder was treated for 10min or less in (NH4)2HPO4 solution, the monolithic TTCP phase remains unchanged. When treated for 30min, apatite whiskers...
