Deposit formation and fouling in reactors for polymer production processing especially microreactors is a well-known phenomenon. Despite the flow pressure loss optimized static mixers, occurs on surfaces of mixer elements. To improve performance such parts even further, stainless steel substrates are coated with ultra-thin films which have low surface energy, good adhesion, high durability. Per...

The study on graphene oxide (GO) grows rapidly in recent years. We find that graphene oxide could act as the passivation material in photovoltaic applications. Graphene oxide has been applied on Si two-different-metal solar cells. The suitable introduction of graphene oxide could result in obvious enhancement on the efficiency. The simple chemical process to deposit graphene oxide makes low the...

The paper presents the results of comprehensive isotope geochemical (Re-Os, Pb and ?34S) study sulfide mineralization Morozkinskoye deposit. ore zones deposit are localized in syenite massif Mount Rudnaya, which is located within Central Aldan region (southern Yakutia). Gold represented by vein-disseminated or vein type manifested acidic low-temperature metasomatites – beresites (Qz-Ser-Ank-Py)...

The increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentrations can enhance plant growth and change their nutrient demands. We report that when tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum 'Zheza 809') plants were grown in iron (Fe)-limited medium (with hydrous ferric iron oxide) and elevated CO(2) (800 microL L(-1)), their biomass and root-to-shoot ratio were greater than plants grown in ambient CO(2) (...

Abstract The paper comprises new analytical data on the nature and occurrence of gold in solid pyrobitumen, closely associated with main gold-bearing sulfide arsenic ores Bakyrchik deposit (Kazakhstan), related to post-collisional magmatic-hydrothermal origin. Gold mineralization occurs mainly form an “invisible” type structures arsenian pyrite arsenopyrite, gold-organic compounds pyrobitumen c...

We compared the reactivity and microbial reduction potential of Fe(III) minerals in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil to test the hypothesis that rapid Fe(III) reduction rates in wetland soils are explained by rhizosphere processes. The rhizosphere was defined as the area immediately adjacent to a root encrusted with Fe(III)-oxides or Fe plaque, and non-rhizosphere soil was >0.5 cm from ...

The synthesis of nanowires made of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) phase iron oxide was achieved using DNA as a template to direct formation of the metal oxide and confine its growth in two dimensions. This simple solution-based approach involves initial association of Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) to the DNA "template" molecules, and subsequent co-precipitation of the Fe(3)O(4) material, upon increasing the solutio...
