Successful development of metallic filters with high temperature oxidation/corrosion resistance for fly ash capture is a key to enabling advanced coal combustion and power generation technologies. Compared to ceramic filters, metallic filters can offer increased resistance to impact and thermal fatigue, greatly improving filter reliability. A beneficial metallic filter structure, composed of a ...

In this study, some metals (aluminium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, zinc and vanadium) and metalloid (silicon) were determined in water, sediment and some tissues of fish Cyprinus carpio from Mogan Lake. Fish samples were caught in March 2007. As a result of the examination of metals in the water aluminium has the lowest and silicon has the highest concentration. In sediment samples...

Metallic piercing which have lack of resistance to sweat corrosion might be able to release metallic ions in the local tissue producing adverse effects in the human body, including allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The aim of this study was double: 1) the metallic characterization of piercings and 2) the release of metals (Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ir, Mn, Ni, Pd, Pt, Rh, Ti, V and Zn) in artificial...

The Ag, Co, Cr, Fe, Hg, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, and Zn contents in normal tissue (n=37) and adenocarcinoma (n=37) of the human prostate gland were investigated using non-destructive instrumental neutron activation analysis with high resolution spectrometry of long-lived radionuclides. Mean values (M  SΕΜ) for content (mg/kg, dry mass basis) of trace elements in adenocarcinoma were: Ag – 0.2420.039, C...

The adsorption capacity of hebba clay and activated carbon towards (Fe 3+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cr 3+ , Cd 2+ ) metal ions was studied. The adsorption capacity was investigated by batch experiment. The effect of weight of hebba was studied and the results showed that the removal percentages increased as the weight of sorbent increased. The effect of contact time was also studied and the res...

A new method for field speciation of Cr(VI) has been developed to meet present stringent regulatory standards and to overcome the limitations of existing methods. The method consists of passing a water sample through strong acid cation-exchange resin at the field site, where Cr(III) is retained while Cr(VI) passes into the effluent and is preserved for later determination. The method is simple,...
