Mintrex Zn, Mintrex Cu, and Mintrex Mn organic trace minerals contain 16% Zn, 15% Cu, and 13% Mn with 80, 78, and 76% 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (HMTBA) by weight as the organic ligand, respectively. Our objective was to determine if HMTBA from Mintrex was fully available as a Met source. In experiment 1, thirty-six broilers (7 to 10 d old) were orally gavaged with methyl-(14)C-label...

The effect of CuO doping on the electrical resistance and the sensitivity of thick film gas sensors based on CuOdoped (1%, 2% and 5% by wt.) SnO2has been investigated by us. A suitable gas sensor structure wasfabricated on 1 ̋x1 ̋ alumina substrate using thick film technology. The fabricated sensor‟s reaction with H2S gas (250 ppm-1000 ppm)was tested in the temperature range of 150350 ̊C. At 250 ̊C...

a highly convenient, selective and sensitive procedure for pre-concentration, separation and determination of sub-ppm levels of cu 2+ in aqueous samples based on modification of octadecyl silica bonded phase membrane (osbpm) disks is described using benzildithiosemicarbazone  (bdsc) as a powerful modifier. it was revealed that each loaded osbpm disk with 6.0 mg of bdsc serves as excellent bead ...

Soybean is a high valuable crop of Vietnam and many other countries. The ability soybean plants in nitrogen fixation soil improvement attributed to their symbiosis with different rhizobia the root nodules. It has been well documented that members genus Rhizobium are most effective nodulation legumes. Recently, oder minimize undesired accumulation agro-chemicals metal salts soil, nanotechnology ...

Tinplate cans were used to study if electro-activated brine solution (EAS) is more corrosive than conventional one by ICP analysis. The results showed different effects of EAS on cans, alone or filled with product. Acidic EAS (pH 2-3) and Redox +900 to +1200 mV highly reacted with the cans. The concentrations of Zn, Fe, and Cu in the solution were 0.028, 28.81, and 0.022 ppm, respectively. No S...

in order to evaluate the phragmites australis, myriophyllum spicatum and potamogeton perfoliatus aquatic plant species as an indicator organism of heavy metals pollution in bio-monitoring studies of the aquatic ecosystems, the aim of this study was to determine the levels of heavy metals accumulation zn, cu, pb and cd in sediments, roots, stems and leaves of these plants in north and south of t...
