Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that the BPIE acts as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements confirmed the corrosion inhibition effect of the BPIE. As the inhibitor concentration increased, the charge transfer resistance increased and the double layer capacitance decreased due to more inhibitor adsorption on the surface. The results obtained by analysis of electrochemical noise (EN) data in time and frequency domains are in good agreement with EIS and polarization results. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to investigate the corrosion inhibition of the BPIE. SEM images showed that the corrosion damage of the alloy surface reduced in the presence of BPIE. The intensity of the XRD peaks corresponding to magnesium-rich α phase increased in the presence of BPIE, indicating lower corrosion of alloy sample. Also, EDX analysis approved the corrosion inhibition performance of the BPIE. The studied Schiff base compound acts by physical adsorption on the alloy surface and its adsorption obeys the Langmuir isotherm.展开更多

The inhibition studies were carried out on Al in 0.5 mol/L HCl with the extract of leaves of MT using mass loss and electrochemical techniques. Parameters, such as concentration of the inhibitor, concentration of the acid, temperature and concentration of halide ions, were varied and optimized. Increase of the temperature and concentration of acid can decrease the performance of the inhibitor. Thermodynamic parameters show that the physisorption of the inhibitor molecules on Al surface obeys Langmuir isotherm.展开更多

The effects of soil water regime and soil reaction on nitrogen distribution and fractional composition of newly-formed humus (decayed products) and the structural characteristics of the newly-formed humic acids (HAs) ...The effects of soil water regime and soil reaction on nitrogen distribution and fractional composition of newly-formed humus (decayed products) and the structural characteristics of the newly-formed humic acids (HAs) were studied in an incubation experiment, with the following results obtained:1. The humus newly formed under submerged conditions was higher in the relative content of α-amino acid-N and the humic acid/ fulvic acid (HA/ FA) ratio than that under upland conditions. The HAs extracted from the former were also higher in C / O ratio, aromaticity and the contents of methoxyl groups and lignin-like components, but lower in the content of carboxyl groups than the HAs from the latter.2. Under upland conditions, the C / organic N ratio and the relative content of mobile HA of newly-formed humus were lower, but the HA / FA ratio was higher in the CaCO3-amended treatment than in non-amended treatment. The presence of CaCO3 also resulted in a decrease of C / N ratio of HA and a slight increase of its carboxyl group content. On the other hand, there was no significant change in the composition and properties of the newly-formed humus with the addition of CaCO3 under submerged conditions.3. Compared with soil HAs, the newly-formed HAs contained more carbohydrates, polypeptides and lignin-like components, and were in lower degrees of oxidation and humification.展开更多

And a factorial Randomized complete block design (F-RCBD). The experiment consisted of two factors, the first was inoculations with and without humic acid, and the second factor was three levels of dry bread yeast (0.5, 10 gm/L). The results revealed that the growth was significantly increased in term of plant height, branches number%, total chlorophyll and mineral content in leaves (N.P.K) and the yield in term of fruit number/plant, fruit weight (gm), plant yield (gm/plant), total yield (ton/hectare), fruit length and fruit diameter. The interaction between humic acid and bread yeast was highly improved the growth and yield traits.展开更多

Humus systems from leonardite, lignite biotransformed with Trichoderma sp. (Plantagra), plant materials after pyrolisis (charcoal) and composts are compared. Humus systems are characterized by Kononova-Belchikova's method, and heavy metals content was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Humic acids from the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) collection are the standards for humus substances quality of compared products. Data obtained for leonardite indicate that the studied substances from factory, Izmir, Turkey contain humic acids over 94%. Compared to the standard, heavy metals content in these materials demonstrate high amounts. Organic carbon content in the composts is very low compared to the leonardite materials and IHSS collection, where the heavy metals content is lower. Biotransformed lignite is characterized with lower content of organic carbon, but humic acids are with high degree of humification. Results obtained show that the fourth studied humus systems may be used in agriculture on base of the high humic acids content. It is recommended to measure heavy metals content before applying the materials in agriculture.展开更多

AFEC increased cucumber growth most significantly, followed by DEC and NAFEC, which was insignificant compared to the control treatment. Humic-like substances from compost extracts played an important role in promoting cucumber growth. Application of humic-like substances stimulated auxin-like activity and increased chlorophyll content and nitrogen accumulation in plants. The positive auxin-like activity of humic-like substances could be attributed to the relative distribution of special carbon groups, such as those with a large amount of peptidic and carbohydratic groups or with a low content of phenolic groups. In conclusion, the best growth promotion by application of AFEC was mainly attributed to the humic-like substances in the AFEC.展开更多

Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that the BPIE acts as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements confirmed the corrosion inhibition effect of the BPIE. As the inhibitor concentration increased, the charge transfer resistance increased and the double layer capacitance decreased due to more inhibitor adsorption on the surface. The results obtained by analysis of electrochemical noise (EN) data in time and frequency domains are in good agreement with EIS and polarization results. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to investigate the corrosion inhibition of the BPIE. SEM images showed that the corrosion damage of the alloy surface reduced in the presence of BPIE. The intensity of the XRD peaks corresponding to magnesium-rich α phase increased in the presence of BPIE, indicating lower corrosion of alloy sample. Also, EDX analysis approved the corrosion inhibition performance of the BPIE. The studied Schiff base compound acts by physical adsorption on the alloy surface and its adsorption obeys the Langmuir isotherm.

文摘The effects of soil water regime and soil reaction on nitrogen distribution and fractional composition of newly-formed humus (decayed products) and the structural characteristics of the newly-formed humic acids (HAs) were studied in an incubation experiment, with the following results obtained:1. The humus newly formed under submerged conditions was higher in the relative content of α-amino acid-N and the humic acid/ fulvic acid (HA/ FA) ratio than that under upland conditions. The HAs extracted from the former were also higher in C / O ratio, aromaticity and the contents of methoxyl groups and lignin-like components, but lower in the content of carboxyl groups than the HAs from the latter.2. Under upland conditions, the C / organic N ratio and the relative content of mobile HA of newly-formed humus were lower, but the HA / FA ratio was higher in the CaCO3-amended treatment than in non-amended treatment. The presence of CaCO3 also resulted in a decrease of C / N ratio of HA and a slight increase of its carboxyl group content. On the other hand, there was no significant change in the composition and properties of the newly-formed humus with the addition of CaCO3 under submerged conditions.3. Compared with soil HAs, the newly-formed HAs contained more carbohydrates, polypeptides and lignin-like components, and were in lower degrees of oxidation and humification.
