this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion were...

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for all living organisms. In bacteria, the preferential phosphorus source is phosphate, which is often a limiting macronutrient in many areas of the ocean. The geochemical cycle of phosphorus is strongly interconnected with the cycles of other elements and especially iron, because phosphate tends to adsorb onto iron minerals, such as iron oxide formed in oxic...

In the processes of wastewater treatment, significant amounts of iron phosphate containing sludge is discharged. One of the recycling methods of this sludge, alkalization treatment is investigated. aq. solution of sodium hydroxide is added to the dehydrated sludge. Iron phosphate in the sludge react with sodium hydroxide, forming sodium phosphate and iron hydroxide containing-sludge at room tem...

in order to investigation the effect of different fertilization treatments on nutrient and essential oil contents in dragonhead drug (dracocephalum moldavica l.), an experiment was conducted in the station of agricultural research in urmia on 2008. treatments (nitroxin, barvar phosphate biofertilizer, biosulfur, nitroxin+ barvar phosphate biofertilizer, barvar phosphate biofertilizer + biosulfu...

an efficient method for the friedel–crafts acylation of a wide range of aromatic compounds in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions, using iron zirconium phosphate (zpfe) was investigated. the catalyst is easy to prepare and shows interesting catalytic properties. the catalyst was characterized by some instrumental techniques such as xrd, icp-oes, sem and tem. a wide variety of...

BACKGROUND Recent studies in humans suggest that ferritin iron in soybeans has high bioavailability. However, direct evidence for this is lacking because the soybeans were intrinsically labeled; thus, iron bound to other ligands, such as phytate, was also labeled. OBJECTIVE The objectives of the study were to evaluate the absorption of iron from extrinsically labeled, purified ferritin (horse...

this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion w...

Increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been associated with the hyperphosphatemia seen in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Oral phosphate binders are prescribed in these patients to prevent intestinal absorption of dietary phosphate and reduce serum phosphate. In prospective observational cohorts they have shown to decrease all-cause and cardiovascular mortali...

iron is an essential microelement for plant growth. low content of organic matter and excess application of phosphate fertilizer in soils can be affected on availability of iron. in this study the effect of iron, phosphorus and organic matter on growth and iron uptake of mays was evaluated. a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two levels of cattle manure (0 and 1 %), three levels of phosp...

A single-dose, prospective, randomized, four-treatment, four-period crossover study was conducted to determine the acute effect of therapeutically equivalent doses of three commonly used phosphate binders on oral iron absorption. Twenty-three healthy subjects received 65 mg of elemental iron alone and with each phosphate binder (calcium carbonate 3000 mg, calcium acetate 2668 mg, or sevelamer H...
