The activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, ;malic enzyme', citrate-cleavage enzyme and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were assayed in homogenates of rumen mucosa, liver and adipose tissue of cattle. Rumen mucosa cytoplasm contained activities of ;malic enzyme' approximately sevenfold those of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, suggesting that the conversion of propionate into lacta...

Various experiments led in laboratory on the concentrate of Angico dos Dias phosphate allowed us to define the following steps in the process of hydrochloric treatment: 1 – Acidification of the concentrate by HCl at 20% during two hours at ambient temperature (solid/liquid ratio of 40%, agitation speed of 200 rpm). In these conditions, the solubilisation rates of CaO and P2O5 are commonly super...

The Bikilal layered gabbro-complex is composed of zones/layers of olivine/ pyroxene gabbro and hornblende gabbro. Within the hornblende gabbro, repeated lens-like thin and elongated bodies of hornblendite are found intimately associated with massive and disseminated ilmenite-magnetite bodies, in places with apatite. Petrological examination of the hornblende gabbro shows 50-55% hornblende, 40-4...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Elevated serum phosphate and calcium-phosphate levels play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular calcifications in uraemic patients and appear to be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. We aimed to evaluate the effects of a partial replacement of food protein with a low-phosphorus and low-potassium whey protein concentrate on phosphate levels of dia...

Different ceramic substances are offered in the market as bone substitute materials. These include monophasic calcium phosphate ceramics of tricalciumphosphate (TCP) or hydroxyapatite (HA), biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics and multiphasic bio-glasses synthetic calcium phosphate cements. Ceramics with appropriate three-dimensional geometry are able to bind and concentrate bone morphogenetic p...

In this study, enrichment possibility of apatite-bearing iron ore sample was investigated to obtain and phosphate concentrates, separately. It determined that the raw contains 35.75% Fe 5.36 P2O5. Magnetite from can be enriched with low field strength wet magnetic separators, apatite magnetite residues by flotation. For purpose, ground minus 106 m size then subjected separation following Accor...

he cost of sludge disposal can contribute significantly to the cost of product manufacturing. An opportunity exists to eliminate this cost of land disposal of sludge resulting from the zinc phosphate pretreatment process. In addition, the cost of the phosphating process may be reduced by reclaiming this sludge to a zinc-phosphate replenishment solution and other useful products. For those not f...

Three quarters of the world’s phosphate deposits are of sedimentary origin and 75%–80% of those include carbonate gangue. In this study, carbonate sedimentary phosphate deposits of the Lar Mountains of southwest Iran are studied. These deposits consist mainly of calcite, fluorapatite, quartz, kaolinite and illite, with an average P2O5 grade of 9%–10% (low-grade). Various pre-processing and proc...
