Project 1012275 Formation and Reactivity of Biogenic Iron Microminerals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The overall purpose of the project was to explore and quantify the processes that control the formation and reactivity of biogenic iron microminerals and their impact on the solubility of metal contaminants. The research addressed how surface components of bacterial cells, extracellular organic material, and the aqueous geochemistry of the DIRB microenvironment impacts the mineralogy, chemical state and micromorphology of reduced iron phases.

Reactivity screening of microscale zerovalent irons and iron sulfides towards different CAHs under standardized experimental conditions.
A standardized batch test procedure was developed and used to evaluate the reactivity of twelve newly designed microscale zerovalent iron (mZVI) particles and two biogenic iron sulfides towards a mixture of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) and their breakdown products. For comparison, commercially available mZVIs, nanoscale zerovalent irons (nZVIs), iron sulfides (FeS) and granular zer...
متن کاملBiogenic amines in sea products
Sea food products are being processed through various techniques, i.e. chilling and freezing, heating, irradiating, and curing; regard to the condition of processing, formation of biogenic amines are probable, as raw materials are usually rich in respective precursors. Fermented fish products are among the most vulnerable items to this challenge, these products due to their nutritious value are...
متن کاملMicromineral Requirements in Horses
Minerals required in minute amounts by horses are specified as microminerals. These nutrients play an important role in a wide range of biochemical systems which affect virtually every metabolic function in the horse. With the exception of selenium, little attention has been given to microminerals in horse nutrition until shortly before the publication of the current NRC Nutrient Requirements o...
متن کاملEffect of dietary organic microminerals on starter pig performance, tissue mineral concentrations, and liver and plasma enzyme activities.
Weanling pigs (n = 160) were used to evaluate dietary essential microminerals (Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn) on performance, tissue minerals, and liver and plasma enzymatic activities during a 35-d postweaning period. A randomized complete block design with 5 treatments and 8 replicates was used in this study. Organic microminerals were added to complex nursery diets at 0 (basal), 50, 100, or 150% of...
متن کاملIron, copper and immunocompetence.
Microminerals including copper and iron are essential to immunity and health in human beings. The development of powerful tools in analytical cell biology and molecular genetics has facilitated efforts to identify specific cellular and molecular functions of trace elements in the maturation, activation and functions of host defence mechanisms. Selected recent reports about the role of copper an...
