The main limiting factors in saline-sodic soils are high amounts of salts, low soil organic matter (SOM) and lowavailability of macro and micro-nutrients. The effect of different amounts of nano iron oxide powder and urban solidwaste compost coated sulfur (USWCS) on the chemical properties of a saline-sodic soil was investigated. The experimentwas conducted using a randomized complete block des...

Oxidation of cyclooctene was studied in presence aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30%, v/v) over nano iron oxide. The catalyst prepared by microemulsion method and characterized using various techniques including XRD, TEM and BET techniques for evaluating phase, structure and morphology and surface area. In this study, we investigated the effects of varying the catalyst content, reaction temperature,...

various compounds have been used for microencapsulating of fish oilso far, but in thiswork for the first time, inulin and casein which are both known for their functional properties, were used as the coating materialof fish oil.this study aimed to investigate the properties of nano-emulsions (droplet size measurements and ph) based on changes in the concentration and type of wall and their effe...

Measurements of the concentration of iron in hair from 10 patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases and from 10 healthy controls showed that the iron concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in patients before iron intake than in controls. Three weeks after beginning iron treatment, the hair iron concentrations were found to be significantly correlated (r = 0.68; P < 0.05) to ...

Alterations in the gut microbiota have been recently linked to oral iron. We conducted two feeding studies including an initial diet-induced iron-depletion period followed by supplementation with nanoparticulate tartrate-modified ferrihydrite (Nano Fe(III): considered bioavailable to host but not bacteria) or soluble ferrous sulfate (FeSO4: considered bioavailable to both host and bacteria). We...

nano technology has a large number of applications in different fields of science and technology. nano particle are the tiny particles which are being used in upcoming technology due to their small size and high capability. the properties of nanoparticles depend largely on their synthesis procedures. there are different methods for the synthesis of nano particles using different conditions. in ...

iron (in zero-valent and oxide forms) is used to remove numerous organic and inorganic contaminants in environment. however, there are few reports, especially in nano scale, on the remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils using zero-valent iron in the literature. in this study, the effect of iron on the availability of heavy metals was evaluated in a calcareous soil spiked with cadmium, z...

the present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary nano-structured zeolite (nz) levels on reduction of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in the diet of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) for 56 days. for this purpose, 270 fish (23 ± 3.7 g) were randomly distributed into 6 groups including c (control), nz0.5 (basic ration + 0.5 % nano-structure zeolite), nz1 (basic ration + 1 % nano-structu...
