The effect of three different moisture statuses, i.e., 150, 200 and 300% FWC (Field Water Capacity) on copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) solubility and solution activity was investigated on soil samples characterised by different levels of copper contamination. Soils (200 g) were weighted into polyethylene containers (500 cm3) and amounts of bidistilled water were properly added to reac...

this research carried out in the rafsanjan pistachio orchard to investigate the effect of n form, manure, k and fe on yield, nut quality and leaf mineral nutrients concentrations of pistacia vera l. cv. fandoghi grafted on badami-riz zarand rootstock. the experiment was as factorial with four factors including; manure (without manure and 10 kg tree-1 sheep manure), n form (ammonium sulfate and ...

A sand culture experiment was conducted to answer the question whether or not exogenous KNO(3) can alleviate adverse effects of salt stress in winter wheat by monitoring plant growth, K(+)/Na(+) accumulation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes. Seeds of two wheat cultivars (CVs), DK961 (salt-tolerant) and JN17 (salt-sensitive), were planted in sandboxes and controls germinated and rais...

and cause health and environmental effects. this study investigates the optimization of the parameters affecting the advanced oxidation process fenton for improving toc removal from aqueous solution includes amoxicillin antibiotic by using taguchi experimental design. methods: in this study for evaluation the effect of factors and determination optimal conditions to removal toc by fenton proces...

In this study, a zinc plant purification cake (CINKUR Co. Turkey) was leached with sulphuric acid and an acidic leach solution containing Zn(II), Fe(II), Pb(II), Al(III), Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) ions was obtained. After purification, ammonium thiocyanate and water were added to the remaining leach solution containing Co(II) and Ni(II) ions to adjust the chemical media and ion concentration. T...

A new type of thiourea cross-linked chitosan with Fe(III) as template (TCCTS template) was synthesized. The adsorption of Fe(II) and Fe(III) on this TCCTS template was studied. The factors affecting adsorption such as pH and contact time were considered. The results showed that the optimum pH value for adsorption was pH = 5.0 and the adsorption equilibrium time was about 60 min. The adsorption ...

The spontaneous chemical oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) by O(2) is a complex process involving meta-stable partially oxidized intermediate species such as green rusts, which ultimately transform into a variety of stable iron oxide end-products such as hematite, magnetite, goethite and lepidocrocite. Although in many practical situations the nature of the end-products is of less interest than th...

Fe (III)-catalyzed ozonation yielded better degradation rate and extent of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) or oxalic acid as compared with oxidation by ozone alone. Two parameters with strong effects on the efficiency of ozonation are pH of the solution and the catalyst (Fe(3+)) dosage. The existence of a critical pH value determining the catalysis of Fe (III) in acid conditions was observed in ph...

It has been proposed that Fe stress may be used in the study of limiting factors in photosynthesis as an expermental means of varying photochemical capacity in vivo (Plant Physiol 1980 65: 114-120). In this paper the effect of Fe stress on photosynthetic unit number, size, and composition was investigated by measuring P700, cytochrome (Cyt)f, chlorophyll (Chi) a, and Chi b in sugar beet leaves....
