Abstract Iron-sulfide minerals found in shale formations are stable under anaerobic conditions. However, the presence of oxygen and water, acid-loving chemolithotrophic bacteria can transform iron-sulfide into a toxic solution sulfuric acid dissolved iron known as rock drainage (ARD). The objective this study was to disrupt responsible for ARD using chemical treatments foster an environment fav...

There are few effective agents that safely remove excess iron from iron-overloaded individuals. Our goal was to evaluate the iron-removing effectiveness of acetaminophen given ip or orally in the gerbil iron-overload model. Male gerbils were divided into 5 groups: saline controls, iron-overloaded controls, iron-overloaded treated with ip acetaminophen, iron-overloaded treated with oral acetamin...

A 60-days growth trial was conducted in a flow-through culture system to examine the effects of different dietary vitamin C and iron levels on the growth, hematological and immunological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fingerlings (with average initial weight of 5.12 ± 0.02 g). Three levels of vitamin C (150, 200 and 250 mg kg-1 diet) and iron (5, 7 and 9 mg kg-1 diet) (as fer...

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...

A new iron phosphate, rubidium zinc iron(III) phosphate, RbZnFe(PO4)2, has been synthesized as single crystals by the flux method. This compound is isostructural to the previously reported KCoAl(PO4)2 [Chen et al. (1997 ▸). Acta Cryst. C53,1754-1756]. Its structure consists of a three-dimensional framework built up from corner-sharing PO4 and (Zn,Fe)O4 tetra-hedra. This mode of linkage forms ch...
