this research was conducted to study the effect of lime based flux with the composition of cao-20%caf2-8%feo on simultaneous removal of phosphorus and sulfur from hot metal. the effects of na2o and oxygen blowing were also studied. the experiments were performed using an induction furnace and hot metal produced in isfahan steel company in the temperature range 1350-1450 ºc. the results showed t...

Appropriate management of soil phosphorus (P) fertility in highly calcareous soils of Iran as around the world should rely upon sound knowledge about the phosphorus reserve and its bioavailability. Despite numerous reports on the positive effects of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) fungi on phosphorus uptake which is associated to Ectomycorrhiza as a branch of two major branches of group ...

Phosphorus plays a critical role in cellular biology (5). Many cellular processes require phosphorus in one form or another and include nucleic acid synthesis and metabolism (37), energy metabolism (42, 46), cellular signaling (38), membrane integrity (53, 58), muscle function (10, 33), enzyme activity (74), lipid metabolism (25), and bone mineralization (30). Phosphorus is present in virtually...

Characterization of nodule growth and functioning, phosphorus status of plant tissues and hostplant growth of nodulated soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) plants grown under different phosphorus conditions was studied in order to evaluate the role of phosphorus in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Phosphorus deficiency treatment decreased the whole plant fresh and dry mass, nodule weight, number and fun...

the effect of phosphorus supplementation to ammoniated rice straw was studied. the in vitro experiment was carried out following the first stage of tilley and terry method. the treatments consisting of four diets were a= 50% ammoniated rice straw + 50% concentrate (control), b= a + 0.2% phosphorus (p) supplement, c= a + 0.4% phosphorus (p) supplement, and d= a + 0.6% phosphorus (p) supplement o...

This study aims to examine the ability of free floating aquatic plants to remove phosphorus and to predict the reduction of phosphorus from rice mill wastewater using soft computing techniques. A mesocosm study was conducted at the mill premises under normal conditions, and reliable results were obtained. Four aquatic plants, namely water hyacinth, water lettuce, salvinia, and duckweed were use...

to evaluate the effect of humic acid and phosphorus on the quantity and quality of marigold yield an experiment was conducted at research field of islamic azad university, mashhad branch, mashhad, iran, in cropping season 2010-2011. the experiment was in split plot based on randomized complete block design, with four replications. the main plots were humic acid in four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 k...

in this study the filtration rate of nitrogen and phosphorus components by swan mussel anodonta cygnea in a closed system was investigated. the system was built of a 100 liters main tank and 4 recipients of 2.5 liters each (one of these as control) and one tank for returning of water. three treatments of different concentrations of nitrogen (80, 100 and 200 mg/l) and of phosphorus (20, 40 and 6...
