The in vivo binding of chromium to whole chromatin, polynucleosomes, DNA, and cytoplasmic RNA-protein fraction from liver and kidney was examined after treatment of rats with sodium dichromate and chromium(III) chloride. Significant amounts of chromium were bound to DNA and the nonhistone proteins of chromatin and to cytoplasmic RNA-protein fraction. The binding of chromium to the nuclear and c...

hexavalent chromium is mobile and hazardous in the environment. electrokinetic remediationof chromium (iv)-contaminated soils is intended either to remove or to reduce cr (vi) to cr (iii). this studyexamines the effectiveness of utilizing edta and acetic acid solutions as alternative electrolytes in theelectrokinetic (ek) process, with coupled nano-scale zero-valent iron (nzvi) as a barrier for...

The oxidation kinetics of chromium at 900~ are independent of the oxygen partial pressure. Although this observation gives evidence for a defect mechanism where chromium interstitials account for the chromium transport in the oxide scale, the experimental phenomena do not support one single model. The occurrence of oxide whiskers and oxide ridges are explained by the energy of activation for th...

BACKGROUND Iron (Fe) deficiency anemia remains the largest nutritional deficiency disorder worldwide. How the gut acquires iron from nano Fe(III), especially at the apical surface, is incompletely understood. OBJECTIVE We developed a novel Fe supplement consisting of nanoparticulate tartrate-modified Fe(III) poly oxo-hydroxide [here termed nano Fe(III)], which mimics the Fe oxide core of ferr...

Vanadium is an important metal used almost exclusively in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys due to its physicochemical and mechanical properties such as grain refinement, high tensile strength, hardness and fatigue resistance; it has a wide range of uses in the metallurgical and chemical sectors [1–3]. There are mainly three kinds of raw materials, bone coal, vanadium slag and waste vanadium catal...

iron oxide (fe2o3) is widely used as a catalyst, pigment and gas sensitive material.  in this article, α-fe2o3 nano-rods were first synthesized via a simple chemical method using iron(iii) nitrate 9- hydrate (fe(no3)3.9h2o) as precursor. xrd pattern showed that the iron oxide nanoparticles exhibited alpha-fe2o3 (hematite) structure in nanocrystals. the single-phase α- fe2o3 nano-rods were prepa...

A novel radio frequency magnetron sputtering method for the deposition of composite films which consist of chromium oxide and chromium ~Cr2O3/Cr-cermet! is presented. As an extension to conventional reactive sputtering of a Cr target in an argon and oxygen atmosphere the oxygen flow into the process chamber is switched periodically on and off. This leads to an oscillating oxygen partial pressur...
