Minesoil Properties of 15 Abandoned Mine Land Sites in West Virginia
The characteristics of minesoils on abandoned mine land (AML) often dictate which plant species will invade and establish from nearby undisturbed areas. This study measured physical and chemical minesoil properties on 15 AML sites in northern West Virginia and matched these properties to vegetation cover. Fifteen sites ranging in age from 13 to 35 yr old were selected from three surface-mined c...
متن کاملPhysical and Rheological Properties of Oil in Water Heat Stable Emulsions Made from Different Stabilizers
Oil in water emulsions have attracted considerable attention in food industry due to their large applications. In this study, the effect of thermal treatment on oil in water emulsions (o/w) containing 40% oil was studied. The emulsions were prepared using xanthan gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizer and polyoxyethylen sorbitan monooleat as emulsifier. A mixture design was use...
