background: sediments are inseparable fractions of wetland ecosystems that work as a his-torical archive in the process of recording heavy metal aggregation changes. this study was carried out for assessing co, ni, and zn in sediment samples of mighan wetland using geo-accumulation index in 2013. methods:the sediment samples were taken from 11 stations. the samples were subjected to bulk digest...

accumulation of trace metals in sediment can cause severe ecological impacts. the present study determines the elemental concentrations and chemical partitioning of heavy metals in surface sediment of shadegan wetland. shadegan wetland is one of the most important wetlands in southwest of iran and it is in ramsar-listed wetlands. for this purpose, 7 sampling stations were selected for sediment ...

present study determines not only the total amounts of metals (cr, cu and pb) in superficial agricultural soil of sistan area in eastern iran, but also the chemical partitioning of these elements in seven statistically selected cases. the analysis was run for local soil, soil treated by non-contaminated organic, compost and chemical fertilizers as well as soil treated by metal-contaminated fer...

sediment core samples can provide useful information about aquatic environment. sedimentation rate, climate changes and heavy metal concentration are among the most important studies that are carried out on sediment cores. in this study, a sediment core of 70cm with aim of metal concentration investigation is collected from central part of the zarivar lake in the vicinity of the marivan city in...

this study was conducted in assaluyeh region, southwest of iran to show utilization and efficiency of sequential extraction analysis in environmental impact studies using soil and related regolith materials as sample media. in order to investigate distribution of heavy metals, optimized bcr (community bureau of reference) sequential extraction analysis method was used. in this caseeight repres...

Partitioning of volatile chemicals among the gas, liquid, and solid phases during freezing of liquid water in clouds can impact trace chemical distributions in the troposphere and in precipitation. We describe here a numerical model of this partitioning during the freezing of a supercooled liquid drop. Our model includes the time-dependent calculation of the coupled processes of crystallization...

The design of high performance structural materials is always pursuing combinations excellent yet often mutually exclusive properties such as mechanical strength, ductility and thermal stability. Although crystal-glass composite alloys provide better compared to fully amorphous alloys, their stability poor, due heterogeneous nucleation at the interface. Here we present a new strategy develop th...

One of the oldest and most useful concepts in chemistry is that of the chemical bond. While the current understanding of a chemical bond has become relatively sophisticated, the original representation of a single bond between two atoms by a line and a double bond by two lines, dates from Odling (1860) and Kekule (1861). Although the theory of the chemical bond has enjoyed considerable developm...
