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...

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...

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...

The influence of polyacrylamide (PAA; Mn between 5∙103 and 1.5∙106 gmol-1 ) on hydrogen evolution reaction at the polycrystalline gold in 0.5 M H2SO4 was studied using potentiodynamic measurements (5 mV/s) in the potential range from 0 to -0.6 V/she. It was concluded that formation of protective layer of PAA, adsorbed on the electrod...

Biodiesel is a mixture of methyl esters of long chain fatty acids, produced typically by alkalicatalyzed transesterification from vegetable oils. Biodiesel products in the EU must meet EN 14214 quality standard specification. In this specification, values of physical properties and impurities for commercial products are set out, including viscosity...
