In this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. To improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and methyl styrene (MSt). Plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. T...

Tabas mines in Iran have coal sources which are suitable for use in metallurgy industries as coking coal. But the high sulfur content of this coal imposes severe limitations on its utilization as the sulfur oxide gases evolved from the combustion of high sulfur coals result in acid rains and corrosion of equipments. In this work, attempts have been made to reduce sulfur from high sulfur coa...

mixtures of mineral aggregate and modified sulfur, wherein the modified sulfur functions as a binder, are termed sulfur concretes or sulfur mortars depending on the form of the mineral aggregate. molten sulfur reacted with olefinic additive, at 130-140 ºc, and then mixed with preheated filler and aggregates. sulfur mortar samples were prepared by mixing 32 % molten sulfur, 10 % filler and 58 % ...

to study the anticoccidial and antioxidant effects of garlic powder (gp) and total sulfur amino acid (tsaa) on growth performance, faecal oocyst output, oxidative stress indicators and antioxidant status markers in broiler chickens, a 2 × 2 × 2 splitplot-factorial arrangement of treatments was used. a total of 480-day-old male broiler chickens were equally assigned to two plots. two hundred for...

Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered as one of the promising candidates for next-generation Li batteries in near future. Although, these batteries are suffering from certain drawbacks such as rapid capacity fading during the charge and discharge process due to the dissolution of polysulfides. In this paper, Sulfur/metal oxide (TiO2 and SiO2) yolk–shell structures have been successfull...

When supplementary thiamin (Vitamin B,) is ingested or injected, the amount which appears in the urine during the succeeding twenty-four hours usually increases, but the total additional excretion always falls short of the supplement, even when the vitamin is injected and there can be no question of incomplete absorption. We have sought information on this unaccounted-for moiety by synthesizing...

the 24 maltiparous holstein dairy cows were allocated in a completely randomized design to study the effects of different level and source of sulfur supplement in close-up diets on blood metabolites, colostrums composition and liver performance. the mean body weight of the cows was 687.9 kg and the mean days until expected calving date was 21.8 d. the first treatment (t1) has contained 0.21% su...

abstract date palm, phoenix dactylifera, is one of the most important horticultural crops in iran. the most soils in iran, especially those cultivated with palm, are calcareous with high ph. the high ph of soil causes reduction of nutrient elements absorption. findings of researches show that application of elemental sulfur along with tiobacillus bacteria in soil, due to sulfur oxidation, reduc...

Background: We intend to study the inhibitory effect of sulfur compound in Ramsar hot spring mineral on tumor-genesis ability of high natural background radiation. Objective: The radioprotective effect of sulfur compounds was previously shown on radiation-induced chromosomal aberration, micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells and human peripheral lymphocyte. Ramsar is known for having the highe...

Background: Studies suggest that sulfur may react with plants or monocellular organisms, such as fungi, to produce toxic agents. It has been theorized that sulfur enters cells and affects their respiration. This study reports on a phototroph development that leads to the diminution and/or production of sulfur and release of hydrogen sulfide from public ponds. Methods: This study was conducted ...
