Effect of in Ovo Injection Optimized Nano-Scale Zero-Valent Iron on Embryonic Growth and Quality Broiler Chicks (ROSS 308 Strains)

Zero-valent iron nanoparticle technology is becoming an increasingly popular choice for treatment of hazardous and toxic wastes, and for remediation of contaminated sites. In the U.S. alone, more than 20 projects have been completed since 2001. More are planned or ongoing in North America, Europe, and Asia. The diminutive size of the iron nanoparticles helps to foster effective subsurface dispe...

In this study, two different mixtures of municipal compost, limestone and zero-valent iron were assessed in two column experiments on acid rock treatment. The effluent solution was systematically analysed throughout the experiments and precipitates from both columns were withdrawn for scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry were analyzed. Resu...

The first high-valent iron oxo complex on the phthalocyanine platform has been prepared from iron tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanine and m-chloroperbenzoic acid and characterized by low temperature UV-vis, cryospray MS, EPR, X-ray absorption and high resolution X-ray emission methods.

Magnetotactic bacteria have evolved complex subcellular machinery to construct linear chains of magnetite nanocrystals that allow the host cell to sense direction. Each mixed-valent iron nanoparticle is mineralized from soluble iron within a membrane-encapsulated vesicle termed the magnetosome, which serves as a specialized compartment that regulates the iron, redox, and pH environment of the g...

While previous studies have identified FeMes2(SciOPP) as the active catalyst species in iron-SciOPP catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling of mesitylmagnesium bromide and primary alkyl halides, the active catalyst species in cross-couplings with phenyl nucleophiles, where low valent iron species might be prevalent due to accessible reductive elimination pathways, remains undefined. In the present stud...

Background & Aims of the Study: Organic dyes with a complex structure are often toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, non-biodegradation and stable in the environment and if released to the environment without treatment can endanger the environment and human health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of H2O2 and H2O2/Fe0 Iron in removal of dye Acid Red 18 from aque...

Zero-valent iron is well known for the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated organics such as trichloroethylene (TCE). The activity of iron for this reaction is greatly enhanced when iron is in the form of nanoparticles. However application of these nanoparticles in fixed-bed columns, in-situ reactive barriers and in similar flow-through applications is not possible due to extremely high pres...

Monodisperse crystalline zero-valent iron, iron-nickel, iron-palladium nanowires were synthesised using template-directed electrodeposition methods. Prior to nanowire fabrication, alumina nanotemplates with controlled pore structure (e.g. pore diameter and porosity) were fabricated by anodising high purity aluminium foil in sulphuric acid. After fabrication of alumina nanotemplates, iron, iron-...

in recent years, the nanoscale zero-valent iron (nzvi) particles have been used successfully for the degradation of hydrocarboncompounds and remediation of other pollutants. nevertheless, as far as we know, there is no specific study on the improvement of thegeotechnical properties of contaminated soils with hydrocarbon compounds by nzvi. this study used nzvi particles to remove gasoil in a cla...
