Absorption of elements by plants is regulated with a series of factors that depend on the plant in issue and conditions of living environment. The main factor that controls the mineral content in plants is a genetic potential for sustenance with different minerals. It is being exhibited with unequal sensitivity and ability for accumulation of speci...

Activated carbon is used in different industrial domains due to highly developed specific surface area and its specific chemistry. Properties of activated carbons obtained by pyrolyzing formaldehyde gels are presented in this paper. The gels were synthesized on several temperatures in order to follow the kinetics of gelling process. The relationshi...

One of the most widely used high-energy nanocrystalline permanent magnetic materials are Nd-Fe-B alloys. Current R&D of Nd-Fe-B magnets is focused on three major topics: increase of magnetic energy, improvement of corrosion resistance and reduction of rare-earth content as a way of decreasing prices of final magnetic material with still signifi...

In natural waters as a highly complex environment, a different matter, regardless of whether they are natural water ingredients or substances which mature in water by man activity, are subject to one or several different processes. Physical, chemical or biochemical processes are determining finding shapes, behavior and fate of substances in the aqu...

Heating of foods induces chemical reaction pathways that are not only leading to desired compounds (e.g. aroma and taste active) but also to degradation products that can pose a cancer risk. Especially the Maillard reaction is known for the formation of carcinogenic compounds in some instances. Recently, it was described that the uptake of oxid...

The influence of using formic, oxalic, citric and tartaric acid for adjusting the dyebath pH upon the dyeability of polyester knitwear dyed with Disperse Yellow 3 was investigated. CIELAB coordinates of the knitwear samples dyed with the addition of tested acids were assessed and compared to those dyed with the addition of acetic acid. The differen...

Reaction between a warm water mixture of pyridoxal hydrochloride (PL.HCl), and Smethyilisothiosemicarbazidehydroiodide (SMeTSC.HI) in the presence of Na2CO3 .10 H O, we got pyridoxal S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (PLITSC; H2L). Ligand with appropriate Cu salt is coordinated, to give next complex: dark-brown, penta coordinated, square-pyrami...
