This study compared the efficacy of lactoferricin B (LB), peroxyacetic acid (PAA), acidified sodium chlorite (ASC), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), acetic acid (AA), lactic acid (LA), acidified chlorite (AC) and water when analyzed as dipping solutions for fresh beef carcass tissue (BCT) surfaces for reducing populations of Escherichia coli O157:H7. In this study, CPC reduced E. coli O157:H7 po...

Introduction: In the search for life on Mars nearsurface soil environments may be important habitats for life accessible to future missions. Serpentinite rocks have been documented on Mars [1], as well as other clay minerals including smectite and kaolinites [2, 3]. Previous studies of soils formed on serpentinites on Earth have documented the formation of extensive clays, including smectite [4...

ABSTRACT-The influence of intensive crop rotation on the distribution of potassium forms and clay mineralogy was assessed under a Mediterranean condition in the Piranshar region, northwest of Iran. For this purpose, surface soil samples in relation to six soil sub-groups from crop rotationfiled (sugar beet, wheat, pea, and barley) over five decades and the adjacent uncultivated lands were descr...

The micro-nano pore structure of conglomerate in the Lower Karamay Formation Xinjiang Oilfield, Junggar Basin, northern China is characterized to predict its impact on fluid reserves and seepage. Authigenic clay minerals are mainly kaolinite (67%), followed by an illite/smectite mixed layer (18%), illite (10%), chlorite (5%). For kaolinite, throats between 0–200 nm dominant, accounting for 90% ...

ABSTRACT Chlorite is recognized as a key mineral for preserving reservoir quality in deeply buried sandstones, chlorite coatings inhibit the nucleation of quartz overgrowths. A limited understanding mechanisms and conditions under which these authigenic form prevents accurate forward modeling diagenesis limits models critical to wide range geoscience applications. We present experimental data t...

Low permeability tight gas resources account for 90% of the Xihu Sag. Under background extensive development low and reservoirs, key to economic effective is find sweet reservoir formation. To clarify origin distribution a in study area, it important formation evolution mechanisms chlorite. In this study, based on analysis thin section, X-ray diffraction SEM, through factors authigenic chlorite...
