The acicular Mn-Zn ferrite fine particles composed of 65.6 mol% Fe, 21.9 mol% Mn and 12.5 mol% Zn were made. These Mn-Zn femte particles were etched in IN-HC1 solution for 3hrs.. The fine particle was made up of several crystallites whose long axis were 0.2-1.0ptt1, and arranged to (31 1) direction. These fine particles were pressed with applying magnetic field. The oriented Mn-Zn ferrites were...

In the study, the variations of heavy metal distributions (of Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn) during the sewage sludge composting process were investigated by sequential extraction procedures. The total content of Cu and Zn in the composted mixture increased after the composting process. Mn and Zn were mainly found in mobile fractions (exchangeable fraction (F1), carbonate fraction (F2), and Fe/Mn oxide fr...

an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj for three consecutive cropping seasons, 2001-2003, to study the effects of eight different fertilizer treatments including some microelements on grain yield and protein content of a bread wheat cultivar pishtaz. the experiment was in a rcbd with three replications.eight fertilizer treatments w...

Profiles of some trace elements (Fe Mn, Zn, Cu, pb and Cd) were detected in saline water and surficial sediment of Wadi El-Natrun depression lakes. The trace elements concentrations largely indicate the influence of weathering of terrigenous sources on land. The order of the studied trace elements in brine lakes of Wadi El-Natrun from high to low concentrations are Mn > Pb > Fe > Zn > Cu > Cd a...

A nutrient solution experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Fe and Zn supply on Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn concentrations in wheat plants. The experiment used a factorial combination of two Fe levels (0 and 5 mg l(-1)) and three Zn levels (0, 0.1 and 10 mg I(-1)). The supply of Fe (5 mg l(-1)) and Zn (0.1 mg l(-1)) increased plant dry weight and leaf chlorophyll content compared to the Fe...

The effect in vivo of high nutrient levels of copper (240 micromolar) on the activity of different metalloenzymes containing Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn, distributed in chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and mitochondria, was studied in leaves of two varieties of Pisum sativum L. plants with different sensitivity to copper. The metalloenzymes studied were: cytochrome c oxidase, Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) ...

during estuarine mixing of fresh water with saline water and due to the flocculation process, aportion of dissolved metals come into particulate phase, and the dissolved load decreases. this process plays an important role in self-purification of heavy metals in rivers. in this study, flocculation of cu, mn, ni, pb and zn during mixing of cheshme-kileh river water with caspian sea water has bee...

Manganese (Mn) intoxication results in neurological conditions similar, but not identical, to idiopathic Parkinson's disease. While the mechanism(s) by which Mn exposure leads to neurotoxic effects remains unclear, studies by magnetic resonance imaging demonstrate a high Mn accumulation in the hippocampal formation (HPCf) of the brain. Metal quantification using this method is not possible. Usi...

1. Energy, protein, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium and dietary fibre intakes of 100 pre-menopausal women (mean age 30.0 +/- 6.1 years) from a university community, and consuming self-selected diets, were calculated using 3 d dietary records and food composition values. Subjects also collected a 24 h food composite during the 3 d record period for analysis of Zn, Cu and Mn by atomic absorptio...
