in the paper, the contents of calcium (ca), magnesium (mg), zinc (zn), copper (cu), iron (fe),manganese (mn), chromium (cr), lead (pb), cadmium (cd), aluminium (al), and nickel (ni) were determinedin the meat of roe deers, wild boars, and hares coming from central region of poland. measurements werecarried out using atomic absorption spectrometry. the ranges of median values found for the conce...

A geochemical and speciation study of As, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu was performed using sequential extraction and statistical approaches in the core sediments taken at two locations-Rigni Chhapra and Chaube Chhapra-of the central Gangetic basin (India). A gradual increase in the grain size (varying from clay to coarse sands) was observed in both the core profiles up to 30.5 m depth. The concentrations...

The objective of this experiment was to measure the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and the retention rate of Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe in pigs fed either inorganic or organic sources of Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. There were 2 types of diets (corn grits-based or corn-soybean meal [SBM]-b...

I . The minced carcases of twenty-seven lambs, ranging from 18 to 69 kg in live weight, and twenty-five calves (30-90 kg) were analysed for copper, iron, manganese and zinc. The lambs were weaned whereas the calves were reared exclusively on milk. 2. Mean concentrations of Fe, Mn and Zn for groups of lamb carcases fell within the ranges 52.6-75.1, 0.7-1.2 and 20.8-25.6 mg/kg fresh carcase weigh...

The present study examined the effect of three methods of preparation on the properties and catalytic performance of Cu-Mn/SiO2 catalysts for the water gas shift reaction (WGSR). Impregnation and coprecipitation and the new approach of thermal decomposition of [Cu(H2O)6][Mn(dipic)2].2H2O/SiO2 inorganic precursor complex were used for the synthesis of the silica-supported copper-manganese mixed ...

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...

c(232)MnCu/Cu(100) is an ordered two-dimensional surface alloy that exhibits a checkerboard arrangement of Mn and Cu atoms on the Cu~100! surface. Mn buckles outwards by 0.3 Å with respect to Cu and in all previous scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! experiments only one chemical species was imaged which was assumed to be Mn. We analyze the STM results by first-principles calculations based on ...

Consumption of plant extracts can be a source of essential elements or a route of human exposure to toxicants. Metal concentrations in leaves, leaf brew, and infusion of L. javanica collected from five sites were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry after acid and aqueous extraction. Estimated daily intakes of metals in extracts were compared with recommended dietary allowances. Total m...
