Nano-fertilizers can increase value of products in agriculture. Iron plays many important and essential roles in plant growth and development as compared to other micronutrients. In the present study, effects of different levels of enriched nano chelated Iron fertilizer (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1)  were investigated in comparison with the common Iron (FeSO4.7H2O) on in vitro proliferation of ...

The effect on Fe-Cr phase separation of a uniaxial stress during thermal ageing at 425 °C is investigated on a Fe-15Cr-5Ni steel, a model alloy of commercial 15-5 PH steel. The applied stress is shown to accelerate the ageing kinetics, and influence the morphology of Cr rich domains. A dependence of the phase separation decomposition kinetics on the relative orientations of the load and the cry...

natural organic wastes contain considerable amounts of nutritional elements. the availability and uptake of nutrient elements in soil) especially in alkali and calcareous soils) increase due to high content of organic matter, and reduce the micro-elements deficiencies. organic wastes have pathogenic contaminations that come from waste type and transmitted by microorganisms such as bacteria, fun...

A study of the Mossbauer effect of Fe in magnetic materials subjected to high pressures is described. Specific systems reviewed are FeF2 , ct, s and -y phases of iron, invar, stainless steel and a metallic glass.

Lichens have been shown to be effective biomonitors of air quality. They are currently being used to characterize background element levels and to identify air pollution effects on federally administered lands in the Rocky Mountain region of the western United States. PIXE analysis for twenty elements has been performed on over two hundred lichen specimens collected from various national forest...

Mild (unalloyed) steel electrodes were incubated in phosphate-buffered cultures of aerobic, biofilm-forming Rhodococcus sp. strain C125 and Pseudomonas putida mt2. A resulting surface reaction leading to the formation of a corrosion-inhibiting vivianite layer was accompanied by a characteristic electrochemical potential (E) curve. First, E increased slightly due to the interaction of phosphate ...

Aluminium and iron/steel are truly sustainable materials. As a result the global metallurgical industry strives to produce products, which contribute to the global effort by reducing resource use, recycling and reusing materials where possible, and to help create the economic and supply frameworks needed to do this. Aluminium is a material that is infinitely recyclable and remarkably plentiful....

Corrosion is a natural global problem of immense importance. Oxidation of iron and steel not only compromises the structural stability of a widely used and versatile material but it also creates an abrasive compound (iron oxide) that can score the surfaces of metals, rendering them useless for the purpose for which they were designed. Clearly, the identification of corrosion in its nascent stag...

Presently, the ferrites industry consumes large amounts of iron osides obtained by spray roasting of steel pickling liquors. The aim of this paper is to propose the synthesis of optimal iron osidcs by oxyprecipitation of steel pickling liquors in order to obtain Bahexafenite wit11 high magnetic properties using the ceramic process. As a raw material. i t was used sulphuric liqoors with iron con...
