A feeding trial of ten weeks was conducted to evaluate the effect of microbial phytase supplementation on mineral digestibility in Labeo rohita fingerlings fed on canola meal-based diets. The experiment consisted of a reference diet and a basal diet. The reference diet was prepared according to the requirements of L. rohita and was used as a standard diet. The basal diet was made by replacing 3...

A ferromagnetic oxide mineral with spinel structure was separated from Hawaiian volcanic rocks ranging from basalt to trachyte . The chemical compositions of all the specimens have been arranged on an oxygen reaction line, and can safely be interpreted as the result of a process of either oxidation or reduction of material with composition on or near this line. In the trachyte the mineral was f...

Abstract Mineral carbonation can be a useful method for sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide. This study attempts to evaluate the utilization of mining waste as feedstock mineral carbonation. Samples have been analyzed their mineralogical and chemical composition, amount potential sequestration was estimated. Mineralogical analysis suggests that mine is composed Ca-Mg-silicates (anorthite, w...

Lava caves contain a wealth of yellow, white, pink, tan, and gold-colored microbial mats; but in addition to these clearly biological mats, there are many secondary mineral deposits that are nonbiological in appearance. Secondary mineral deposits examined include an amorphous copper-silicate deposit (Hawai'i) that is blue-green in color and contains reticulated and fuzzy filament morphologies. ...

Classical treatment of cell attachment by models of filtration or coulombic attraction assumes that attachment of cells to mineral surfaces would be controlled by factors such as response to predation, collision efficiency, or coulombic attraction between the charged groups at the mineral and cell surfaces. In the study reported here, the passive model of attachment was investigated using a nat...

ten chromite ores from ophiolite complexes in se iran were analyzed mineralogically by xrd, chemically by xrf, and mineral chemistry by epma. the identified paragenesis of silicate minerals of chromite ores with the x-ray diffraction is pronounced differently. it consists of secondary phases formed as serpentine, cr-containing chlorite (kaemmererite), chromic garnet (uarovite) with preserved pa...
