Supergene oxidation-leaching and secondary sulfide enrichment in the SarCheshmeh porphyry Cu-Mo deposit generated a supergene profile to depths of 20 to 80 meters with oxide ore reserve about 22 Mt. @1.08% Cu and sulfides ore [email protected]% Cu. Geochemical distribution and behavior of trace metals associated with Cu namely Mo, Au, and Ag in the supergene profile of the SarCheshmeh were po...

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by an enzyme-induced growth process on solid substrates. In order to customize the enzymatically grown nanoparticles (EGNP) for analytical applications in biomolecular research, a detailed study was carried out concerning the time evolution of the formation of the silver nanoparticles, their morphology, and their chemical composition. Therefore, silver-nano...

The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell visible with the naked eye. When inoculated on a substrate with attractants and repellents the plasmodium develops optimal networks of protoplasmic tubes which span sites of attractants (i.e. nutrients) yet avoid domains with a high nutrient concentration. It should therefore be possible to program the plasmodium towards determinist...

A simple and economic method of synthesis of silver colloid nanoparticles with controlled size is presented. By reduction of [Ag(NH3)2] complex in sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micellar solution with three various reducing agents (hydrazine, formalin and ascorbic acid) the nanoparticles were produced with size below 20 nm. The average size, size distribution, morphology, and structure of particle...

Cu electrorefining using a low-grade copper anode is desirable from the standpoint of electric power savings. electrolysis was carried out in an unagitated sulfate solution with anode, and effect impurity ions additives on passivation investigated. The time when firstly occurs shortened significantly containing 0.596 mol·dm−3 Ni2+ as somewhat As5+(0.053 mol·dm−3) or Bi3+(0.0005 ions. Sn2+(0.000...

AIMS The aim of this study was to apply polymer films containing silver nanoparticles as a new method for increasing the shelf life and preserving the quality of export/commercial products of Kerman Province and determine the ideal temperature for preserving these products. METHODS After preparing nano-composite films containing silver nanoparticles (3% and 5% by weight), Mazafati dates were ...

Wound healing is a complex process and has been the subject of intense research for a long time. The recent emergence of nanotechnology has provided a new therapeutic modality in silver nanoparticles for use in burn wounds. Nonetheless, the beneficial effects of silver nanoparticles on wound healing remain unknown. We investigated the wound-healing properties of silver nanoparticles in an anima...

silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. a simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles.  the present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...
