for Session – 3 Hydrogen from Coal The Influence of Copper Concentration on the Permeability of Pd-Cu Alloy Membranes Bryan D. Morreale, Bret H. Howard US Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory PO Box 10940, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 Abstract Hydrogen membranes have been identified as a promising technology for extracting pure hydrogen from processes such as coal gasification, h...

We have measured the concentration and isotopic composition of lead in blood over a 15-month period for a subject who undertook recreational shooting in outdoor and indoor firing ranges on an irregular basis. We have also measured the isotopic composition in cast lead, Cu-jacketed and Teflon-coated bullets, propellant and primer from which he assembled the cartridges. Blood lead concentration i...

The Lagos lagoon is a depository of last resort for over 70% of the surface runoffs, drainage channels and important rivers flowing from interior Nigeria to the Atlantic Ocean. The surrounding densely populated and industrialized areas often result in the introduction of potential harmful materials into the Lagoon. This work is aimed at providing reference data for the quality assessment of the...

The inexpensive geochemical exploration technique based on broadspaced deflation lag sampling played a key role in the discovery of the Babel and Nebo ortho-magmatic Ni–Cu–platinum group elements (PGE) deposits. An area of 1100 km in the western Musgrave Block in central Australia was explored using deflation lag samples collected on a 1 km 0.5 km grid. A total of 35 elements were determined us...

The major goal of this study is to determine the bioaccumulation heavy metals in tissues and bones Red Hybrid Tilapia <i>(Oreochromis niloticus)</i> Mackerel <i>(Rastrelliger kanagurta)</i> taken from two distinct sites Terengganu state, Malaysia, namely Kijal Paka. Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb)were examined. Soil analysis also was carried out for same e...

I. Three experiments using sixty individually fed, enzootic pneumonia-free Large White pigs on experiment from 9-1 I weeks of age to zoo lb live weight are described. 2. Information was obtained on the effect of different dietary concentrations of aflatoxin B1 on the performance of the pigs, on various biochemical measurements and on the histology of the livers and kidneys. 3. Reduced growth ra...

The availability of Te is constrained by the production rate of its main parent compound (copper) and a debate is going on related to the potential supply of Te for very large scale CdTe PV deployment. However, recent investigations point to the existence of Te-rich ores in several places of the world that are likely to allow economic recovery of Te, independently of the production of copper. C...

Abstract Cow’s milk is important in a healthy food intake because of its high calcium content. However, the contamination can be harmful to health. The acidity cow’s decreases with increase heavy metals concentration that poisonous body. This research aims investigate content (Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr) and minerals Ca contained fresh samples from two different locations, which are Padang city Panjang...

This study was conducted to determine some pomological characteristics and macromicro nutrient contents of both leaves and fruits of 11 Feijoa genotypes (Feijoa sellowiana Berg.) selected from Sakarya Province in Turkey. For these genotypes, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, soluble solid content and fruit acidity values ranged between 18.57 – 40.00 g, 27.74 -59.95 mm, and 23.42-39.43 mm...
