An integrated bioleaching system (stable pH-silver ion-chloride ion) was firstly proposed to for improving the efficiency of chalcopyrite bioleaching by mixed strains of Acidithiobacillus. The individual effects of stable pH, silver ion, and chloride ion on bioleaching were respectively studied. The highest copper ion concentrations in each system were 45.8, 50.2, and 45.2 mg/l, respectively, w...

kashan aquifer is adjacent to salt lake. because of this adjacency, the saline water of the lake has moved to the aquifer. in this study groundwater quality of the aquifer was simulated using artificial neural network (ann) model. for this purpose, the dominant ion of water was first determined by piper diagram. results showed that the sodium chloride is the dominant ion of water and so it was ...

ClC chloride channels possess a homodimeric structure in which each monomer contains an independent chloride ion pathway. ClC channel gating is regulated by chloride ion concentration, pH and voltage. Based on structural and physiological evidence, it has been proposed that a glutamate residue on the extracellular end of the selectivity filter acts as a fast gate. We utilized a new search algor...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to investigate root surface ph changes over a period of 4 weeks following treatment with calcium-hydroxide dressing of intact and resorbed roots. materials & methods: the canals of 30 single-rooted teeth were instrumented with protaper rotary files and randomly divided into 2 experimental groups of 14 each, and one control group with two samples. to s...

The durability performance of reinforced concrete (RC) building structures is significantly affected by the corrosion steel reinforcement due to chloride penetration, thus, ion diffusion coefficient should be investigated through experiments or theoretical equations assess an RC structure. This study aims predict concrete, a heterogeneous material. A convolutional neural network (CNN)-based reg...

Chloride diffusion is one of the major causes of deterioration of concrete structures. A large amount of research has been conducted to study the chloride diffusion of concrete, both experimentally and theoretically. Because chloride diffusion experiments are time consuming, it is desirable to develop a model to predict the chloride profiles in concrete. This paper studies the feasibility of us...
