The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of kaolin feeding on health status, body weight gain (BWG), course of diarrhoeal infections caused by enterotoxigenic strains of Escherichia coli (ETEC) and the level of mycobacterial contamination in weaned piglets. The testing was performed in two experiments involving 40 weaned piglets at the age of 28 days. In the infection-free expe...

This study examined a non-insecticidal tactic for suppressing boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, damage to cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. In cage assays, kaolin, a reflective white mineral, applied to excised cotton squares or to the cotton foliage, initially resulted in lower levels of boll weevil injury to squares than nontreated squares. Boll weevil oviposition and feeding on ka...

-Intercalation complexes of a Hungarian kaolinite were prepared with hydrazine and potassium acetate. The thermal behavior and decomposition of the kaolinite-potassium acetate complex was studied by simultaneous TA-EGA, XRD, and FTIR methods. The intercalation complex is stable up to 300"C, and decomposition takes place in two stages after melting of potassium acetate intercalated in the interl...

the processing methods of kaolin are based on its high a b i l i t y of water absorption and converting easily to fine perticles of kaolin dispersed in water. so, depending on the dimension of impurities of kaolin, one can choose the pr6pe1: classifier f o r removal of them. sometimes, the texture of kaolin is not suitable for water absorption and resultant dispersion. in this case,the ore shou...

Abstract This work focuses on the hydrothermal synthesis of Na-P 1 zeolite by using a kaolinite rock coming from Romana (Sassari, Italy). The kaolin is calcined at temperature 650 °C and then mixed with calculated quantities NaOH. runs are carried out ambient pressure variable temperatures 65 100 °C. For first time compared to past, Na-P1 synthesized without use additives through protocol that ...

sr5nb4o15 – nb2o5 nanocomposites were synthesized in 2 and 4 m koh aqueous solutions, via a non-stoichiometric 1:2 sr:nb molar ratio hydrothermal method at 160°c for 48 h (s1 and s2, respectively). sr(no3)2 and nb2o5 were used as raw materials. the synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (pxrd) technique. it was found that sr5nb4o15 has been crystallized in hexa...

To confirm the method for preparing artificially spiked soil with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), we tested the homogeneity of PAHs in spiked soils, which were prepared by three different procedures, by using kaolin and ando soil. When the slurry of kaolin and acetone containing PAHs were evaporated by a rotary evaporator at 30 - 35 degrees C, the most homogeneous distribution of PAHs ...

Recently, a cellulose-based composite material with a thin ZnO nanolayer-namely, ZnO nanocoated cellulose film (ZONCE)-was fabricated to increase its piezoelectric charge constant. However, the fabrication method has limitations to its application in mass production. In this paper, a hydrothermal synthesis method suitable for the mass production of ZONCE (HZONCE) is proposed. A simple hydrother...
