The deposit is forming around a hot spring, which is part of a large active metallogenetic hydrothermal system depositing ore-bearing travertines. The native iron occurs in two shapes: nodules with diameter 0.4 and 0.45 cm, and angular grains with length up to tens of µm. The travertine laminae around the spherical/ovoid nodules grow smoothly, and the angular grains are trapped inside the pores of the travertine.

  • Stoichiometry: the Reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate
    CEAC 103 GENERAL CHEMISTRY Experiment 2 Stoichiometry: The Reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate Purpose: To enhance the understanding of stoichiometry, a reaction between iron and copper (II) sulfate solution will be conducted. This will help you to differentiate limiting and excess reactant in a chemical reaction. Finally the theoretical and percent yield of this reaction will be calculated. Theory Stoichiometry is the measurement of quantitative relationships in chemical formulas and equations. In this experiment stoichiometric principles will be used to obtain the appropriate equation between the reaction of iron metal and copper(II) sulfate solution. After the reaction is taking place, the formation of metallic copper, which is seen precipitating as a finely divided reddish-orange powder will be observed. This reaction is one of the example of single substitution reaction in which one element “displaces” from a compound by another element. The element which has ability of displacing other element from compound is said to be “more active” than the displaced metal. In this experiment, iron is more active than copper. Two distinct forms of iron are present, namely Fe2+ and Fe3+. Stoichiometric principles will be used to determine which reaction is more dominant compared to other one by examining the reaction between iron and copper (II) sulfate solution. If Fe2+ is formed, then equation (1) is dominant, while equation (2) will be selected if Fe3+ is formed. This can be determined 1 according to mole ratio of copper to iron. If the moles of copper is equal to the moles of iron, then equation (1) has taken place.

  • Iron –Carbon Phase Diagram
    IRON –CARBON PHASE DIAGRAM CB.EN.P2MFG15018 Definition of structures: Various phases that appear on the Iron- Carbon equilibrium phase diagram are as under: • Austenite • Ferrite • Pearlite • Cementite • Martensite • Ledeburite Definition of structures: Austenite is an interstitial solid solution of Carbon dissolved in (F.C.C.) iron. Maximum solubility is 2.0 % C at 1130°C. High formability, most of heat treatments begin with this single phase. It is normally not stable at room temperature. But, under certain conditions it is possible to obtain austenite at room temperature. Austenite Average properties are: Tensile strength = 150,000 psi; Elongation = 10 percent in 2 in.; Hardness = Rockwell C 40, approx; and toughness = high Definition of structures: Ferrite is known as α solid solution. It is an interstitial solid solution of a small amount of carbon dissolved in α (BCC) iron. stable form of iron below 912 deg.C. The maximum solubility is 0.025 % C at 723C and it dissolves only 0.008 % C at room temperature. It is the softest structure that appears on the diagram. Ferrite Average properties are: Tensile strength = 40,000 psi; Elongation = 40 % in 2 in; Hardness > Rockwell C 0 or > Rockwell B 90 Definition of structures: Pearlite is the eutectoid mixture containing 0.80 % C and is formed at 723°C on very slow cooling. It is a very fine platelike or lamellar mixture of ferrite and cementite. The white ferritic background or matrix contains thin plates of cementite (dark). Pearlite Average properties are: Tensile strength = 120,000 psi; Elongation = 20 % in 2 in.; Hardness = Rockwell C20, BHN-300 Definition of structures: Cementite or iron carbide, is very hard, brittle intermetallic compound of iron & carbon, as Fe3C, contains 6.67 % C.

Received: 18 June 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 14 August 2019 Abstract: Heavy metal contamination is one of the most important environmental issues. Therefore, appropriate steps need to be taken to reduce heavy metals and metalloids in water to acceptable levels. Several treatment methods have been developed recently to adsorb these pollutants. This paper reviews the ability of residuals generated as a by-product from the water treatment plants to adsorb heavy metals and metalloids from water. Water treatment residuals have great sorption capacities due to their large specific surface area and chemical composition. Sorption capacity is also affected by sorption conditions. A survey of the literature shows that water treatment residuals may be a suitable material for developing an efficient adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals and metalloids from water. Keywords: adsorption; arsenic; pollutants; water treatment sludges 1. Introduction Heavy metals are a group of trace elements that include metals and metalloids, such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, tin, and zinc.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.

  • Iron Deficiency Anemia: Evaluation and Management MATTHEW W
    Iron Deficiency Anemia: Evaluation and Management MATTHEW W. SHORT, LTC, MC, USA, and JASON E. DOMAGALSKI, MAJ, MC, USA Madigan Healthcare System, Tacoma, Washington Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder worldwide and accounts for approxi- mately one-half of anemia cases. The diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia is confirmed by the findings of low iron stores and a hemoglobin level two standard deviations below normal. Women should be screened during pregnancy, and children screened at one year of age. Supple- mental iron may be given initially, followed by further workup if the patient is not responsive to therapy. Men and postmenopausal women should not be screened, but should be evaluated with gastrointestinal endoscopy if diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. The underlying cause should be treated, and oral iron therapy can be initiated to replenish iron stores. Paren- teral therapy may be used in patients who cannot tolerate or absorb oral preparations.
