Abstract

Adsorption differs from absorption and activated clays are one of the most effective adsorbents in nature. The adsorbing action of activated clay is a selective adsorption process. Due to its effectiveness, activated clay has wide applications such as cleaning up oil spills and adsorbing dyes. Zeolite made up of silicon, aluminum and oxygen is also an adsorber, and it can be synthesized. Synthesis simply increases its pore or cavity sizes and makes it hydrophobic. Zeolites are selective adsorbers because of their unique pore sizes. Zeolites are used in removing heavy metals such as zinc, iron, copper, chromium and so ...

Full title- A COMPARISON OF THE INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF METAL IONS

Enzymes are an essential part for the functioning of the human system. Most of the enzymes require binding of metal ions and other non-protein components for their appropriate functioning. Such non proteins, which facilitate the functioning of enzymes, are called cofactors. The cofactors can be an organic cofactor as Thymine Pyrophosphate (TPP), Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD), Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide (NAD); or inorganic cofactors like metal ions, Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and Iron-sulphur clusters. When the enzyme is bound to a cofactor, ready to carry out its function, it is known as a ‘Holoenzyme.' An enzyme without a ...

There are literally a lot of elements that hold at least a certain level of relevance in the geochemical and bio-geochemical industry or cycling. One important thing to know about these elements is that most, if not all, of them are non-renewable. Most are stored in ores found underneath the earth’s surface. What makes the process of obtaining those elements more problematic is the fact that they need to be mined, extracted, and processed before they can be deemed usable for industrial and consumerism-related purposes. These ores are abundant and this is why at this point, they are practically inexhaustible. ...

Introduction

Resistivity is a parameter which defines the resistance of a metal to the flow of electric current per unit volume of the metal (Jones, n.d.). The resistivity exhibited by a metal is dependent on three physical properties; the cross-sectional area, length, and the nature of the material (A´ ngel & Tirado-Miranda, 2009). The value of resistivity dictates the conductivity of a metal, high resistivity is associated with low electrical conductivity while low resistivity means that the metal is a good conductor (The Physics Hypertext Book, n.d.). Therefore, it can be concluded that low resistivity allows for increased movements of electrons within the metal while high ...
