the aim of this research work was to investigate on the ball filling estimation of miduk semi-autogenous (sag) mill via an utilized method. miduk copper concentrator is located in kerman province, iran, and its size reduction stage includes one gyratory crusher which feeds one sag mill (9.75 dia.(m)*3.88 length(m)) following two parallel ball mills (5dia.(m)*7lenght(m)). after sag mill, a tromm...

introduction: there have been many reports and papers on deficient, normal and high levels of copper in patients with thalassemia major. the aim of this study is to evaluate copper status in a series of more than 300 patients with thalassemia major and determine the degree of copper deficiency or excess. methods: three hundred and seventy patients with thalassemia major over 5 years of age were...

The removal of copper (II) ion by using ultrasound pre-treatment to increase the pores structure and surface area on peanut husk powder via direct sonication (ultrasound probe) and indirect ultrasound (ultrasound bath) at powder level 3.5 W. In previous studies, researchers had applied ultrasound simultaneous with adsorption process. This method is not suitable to treat huge amount of heavy met...

This study investigated the effects of accumulated copper, on digestive epithelium height and percentage area, and on oocyte numbers of the snail Helix aspersa, in a vineyard where copper oxychloride is sprayed. The ultimate aim was to determine the usefulness of these cellular responses as biomarkers. Results showed that snails collected 2 months after fungicide application, had a significantl...

This investigation was conducted to determine the intracellular distribution of copper in the liver of normal sheep, and the changes associated with exposure to increased dietary copper. Normal rat liver (3.8 + 1.0) ~/g Cu/g liver, wet tissue basis) and normal sheep liver (102.0 -+ 37.2 /~g Cu/g liver) was processed to give the four common subcellular fractions. When the intracellular distribut...

Here we present our experimental results in synthesizing Au-Cu nano-particles with tunable localized surface plasmon resonance frequency through wet-chemical at temperature room. The reaction is performed in the presence of ascorbic acid as a reducing agent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone as capping agent via four different procedures: (1) mixture of 90% HAuCl4 and 10% CuSO4.5H2O precursors, (2) mixt...
