The present research paper deals with the oxidation process of molybdenum ore. The main target of the present study is the up-gradation of MoO3 from roasted molybdenum ore by a leaching process without waste generation. The most important application of hydrometallurgical processing is the leaching process of the ore and it is the primary process to make pure metal from ore. The present investi...

Blood lead levels were determined by the method of Hesse/ on over 1,000 psychiatric outpatients. Lead values ranged from 3.8 to 53 mcg% with a mean of 15.6 mcg%. Approximately 6 percent of the patients had lead levels above 25 mcg%. A therapeutic regimen of zinc and ascorbic acid was found to significantly decrease the blood lead level. This treatment also lowers blood copper levels. The heavy ...

background: industrial copper ingest is a common form of poisoning in animals. zinc has an important role in the physiology of spermatozoa, in sperm production and viability. objective: this study was set to investigate whether the adverse effects of long term copper consumption on quality of rat spermatozoa could be prevented by zinc therapy. materials and methods: forty eight mature (6-8 week...

The concentrations of zinc, copper, cadmium and lead in surface water, sediments and two native snail species, Bellamya bengalensis and Melanoides tuberculata from Latipada reservoir were determined. The concentrations of cadmium and lead in surface water were higher than the WHO recommended limits for drinking water standards; where as those of zinc and copper were within the permissible limit...

Abstract Purpose The increasing volumes of mine tailings that are being generated globally because the rise in metal demand, whilst ore-grades continue to decline, call for novel sustainable management options. Phytoextraction using hyperaccumulator plant species may be one such strategies deal with these large contaminated materials. However, base metals (such as zinc, lead, copper) inherently...

current study was done to determine the concentration of heavy metals including lead and cadmium and nutrients element copper and zinc in a simple and whole wheat macaroni in the valid different supermarkets in the city of tehran. 254 samples from seven iranian simple macaroni , four foreign simple macaroni and two iranian whole wheat macaroni were purchased consecutively in 3 seasons of 2015. ...

background: copper and zinc are the elements with numerous physiological activities.  copper  (cu)  has  an  important  role  in  angiogenesis  and  acts  by increasing vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf). serum levels of copper will be increased in cancer incidence, progression and recurrence. the aim of this study was to measure blood levels of copper, zinc, and the ratio of cu /zn, as ...

Determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. Long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

To investigate the relationships of trace element concentrations vs hematopoiesis and iron parameters, we measured lead, copper, zinc, cadmium, and ferritin levels in 251 healthy adolescents. Concentrations of trace metals were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. There were no significant gender-related differences in serum copper or serum cadmium concentrations. However, blood l...
