Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesorption of Exchangeable Cations at Adsorption of Lead Ions by Chernozem in the Presence of Attendant AnionsT. M. Minkina, D. L. Pinskii, S. S. Mandzhieva et al.The effect of Cl–, Ac‾ and NO3‾ anions on the adsorption of Pb cations by an ordinary chernozem and desorption of exchangeable cations in the soil-solution system has been assessed under model laboratory conditions. It has been shown that the attendant anions affect the shape of the adsorption isotherms, which are described by the Langmuir equation. The greatest influence on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 20 Oct 2015 · 6,935 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleContrasting Effects of Metal Contaminations and Soil Liming on Cations Exchange Capacity and Global DNA Methylation in Betula papyrifera Populations from a Mining RegionGabriel Theriault, Kabwe NkongoloThe Greater Sudbury Region in Northern Ontario (Canada) has been one of the most contaminated regions in the world. Soil liming with dolomitic limestone applications has decreased significantly the level of soil acidity resulting in forest regeneration. This reclamation process does not affect the level of soil metal contamination but results in metals availability decrement. The coping mechanisms of birch … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,539 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReducing Ammonia Loss from Urea by Mixing with Humic and Fulvic Acids Isolated from CoalAmeera Abdul Reeza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Nik Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Ammonia volatilization is a major pathway for nitrogen loss from surface applied urea. While all top-dressed ammonia and ammonium based N fertilizers can volatilize, the potential loss is greatest with urea and fluids containing urea. As much as 20-50% of N applied to soils is lost through volatilization alone. Thus, the objective of this laboratory study was to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,904 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamics of Mobile Phosphorus and Potassium in the Soils of Agricultural Lands of Kostanay RegionAlmabek Nugmanov, Aliya Yskak, Tatiana Paramonova et al.Soil phosphorus deficiency is a growing constraint on crop productivity in the agricultural lands of the Kostanay Region, Republic of Kazakhstan, yet systematic data on the spatial dynamics of mobile phosphorus and potassium across soil types remain limited. This study assessed the availability of mobile forms of phosphorus and potassium, alongside key physicochemical properties, including soil pH and cation exchange … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,603 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOn the Hormetic Behaviour of Drugs Binding to Different Redox States of Amine Oxidase EnzymesDeepak Narang, G. Reid McDonald, David J. Smith et al.Classical monoamine oxidases and copper-containing semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases are drug targets for a variety of established and novel pharmaceuticals used to treat conditions such as depression, Parkinsonism and inflammatory disorders. Development of enzyme inhibitors, both historically and currently, assumes an underlying adherence of these enzymes to Michaelis-Menten kinetic principles. In this mini-review, we discuss historical data from several laboratories and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,931 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of a Bioflocculant-Producing Strain and Application in Rice Vinegar ClarificationWeilian Hu, Dehui DaiA bioflocculant-producing bacterium S-3# was isolated from fresh sand bones 40-50 cm underground in the desert region of China’s Ningxia Province. It was identified as Paenibacillus sp. based on 16S rDNA sequence along with its biochemical and morphological characteristics. Chemical analysis found that the bioflocculant from S-3# is mainly composed of extracellular polysaccharide. Researchers observed no noticeable change (above 91%) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2020 · 5,927 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterizations of MmtO-Copolymer (St-THF) NanocompositeHattab Youcef, Hakiki WahibaNanocomposites are synthesized by one or two polymers and optimized organophilic clay proportions. The aim of Synthesis of the Organophilic clay (montmorillonite) with a two monomers to get a copolytetrahydrofuran- styrene nanocomposite by insitu polymerization. Organophilic montmorillonite (MmtO) was synthesized by ion exchange between Na+ ions in the clay and HDTMAB alkylammonium cations in an aqueous medium. The MmtO were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 10 · 19 Dec 2019 · 7,119 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Niobium Oxide Incorporation on Optical Properties of Sodium Bismuth Borate GlassesHossam M. Gomaa, Saeid M. Elkatlawy, Ahmed H. El-DosokeyGlasses with the chemical compositions 60% B2O3-20% Na2O-(20-x) % Bi2O3-x% Nb2O5 (where, x = 0, 5, 10 and 15 mol. %), were prepared by fast quenching of their melts. Characteristics of the obtained solids were checked by XRD, FTIR and optical absorption spectroscopy. XRD data confirmed the amorphous nature of the glass samples.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContinuous Flow Synthesis of Zeolite-A from Coal Fly Ash Utilizing Microwave Irradiation with Recycled Liquid StreamSalman Bukhari, Sohrab RohaniCoal Fly Ash (CFA) was converted to zeolite using continuous microwave reactors while minimizing the wastewater produced during the zeolitization process. At bench scale, a continuous flow tubular microwave reactor was used to explore the effect of microwave irradiation on the crystallinity of the product. The waste water was reused in consecutive runs and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 19 Jun 2017 · 7,240 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Model of Calcium Carbonate System of Soil SolutionAbdulmalik A. Batukaev, Anatoliy P. Endovitsky, Andrey G. Andreev et al.Carbonate system determines the basic processes of soil formation and evolution. The aim of research was to show the importance of chemical Carbonate Calcium Equilibrium (CCE) in soil solutions. CCE causes a degree of soil solution’s saturation with CaCO3 as a factor of carbonate geochemical cycle. CCE depends on chemical composition, pH, Eh, buffering properties of liquid phase, dissolution, migration, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,981 accessesView PDF Cite
