In the present work, one-dimensional nanostructures of silicon oxide (SiOx) have been synthesized by thermal annealing method with and without chromium thin film on silicon substrate. The synthesis was carried out at different process temperatures ranging from 1000 ̊C to 1100 ̊C by using gold/chromium (Au/Cr) catalysts stack layer on the Si substrate in nitrogen (N2) ambience. The as-synthesized ...

in this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (maghemite) were used to remove ni (ii) and cr (vi) from mine’s waste water. first, by using novel single step, maghemite nanoparticles (?-fe2o3) produced at room temperature, without the use of natural solvents and oxides. the average particle size of the maghemite was estimated to be 14 nm, by transition electron microscope (tem(. various factors influe...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic exposure to sublethal concentrations of hexavalent chromium (K2Cr2O7) on the immune response and disease resistance of Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters) to bacterial Aeromonas hydrophila infection. Fish (45 to 50 g) were exposed to 0.005, 0.05, 0.5, and 5 mg l(-1) [0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10% LC50, respectively] of hexavalent chromiu...

Reaction of potassium dichromate with sodium ascorbate was studied by EPR spectroscopy at room temperature, in 0.10 M N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N'-[2-ethanesulfonic acid] (HEPES), phosphate, cacodylate, and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride (Tris.HCl) buffers at pH 7.0, in the presence of 0.10 M spin trap [5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide or 2-methyl-N-(4-pyridinylmethylene)-2-pr...

This study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion resistance and optimize heat-treatment process of AISI 439 ferrite stainless steel silicon tin alloys with reduced chromium. The microstructure specimens deposition under each condition were analyzed. production oxide films compared based on thickness film change in contents element. In addition, electrochemical analyses used quantitatively com...
