The results of 23 days pot vegetation experiment demonstrated the stimulating effect of HS on the plant growth and soil microbial activity. Humusvielu kūdras ekstrakts (HKE), kas satur augu un dzīvnieku valsts sadalīšanās produktus, raisa lielu zinātnisko interesi augsnes auglības un revitalizācijas jomā. Darbā izmantojamais HKE tika iegūts kūdras ekstrakcijas rezultātā saskaņā ar standarta metodi. Kūdras humīnskābes satur C 52 %; H 5 %, N 1.6 %, S 0.5 %, О - 32-43 %, pelnus 2 %. Iegūtie rezultāti pēc Van-Klevelena metodes liecināja, ka analizējamais materiāls ir organisko vielu sadalīšanās sākotnējā stadijā. Eksperiments tika veikts laboratorijas apstākļos 23 dienas kultivējot kviešus, pupas, rapsi un kressalātus. Eksperimentiem izmantota smilšmāla augsne, kas iegūta municipālo atkritumu glabātuves apkārtnē. Katrā izmēģinājuma traukā bija 32 g (50 ml) augsnes, 0,5 ml (1 tilp. %) vai 2.5 ml (5 tilp. %) HKE, kā arī 20 ml toksiska infiltrāta, kas iegūts atkritumu glabāšanas vietā. Visu testējamo augu virszemes daļas biomasas pieaugums bija lielāks variantos ar nepiesārņoto augsni. HEK pievienošana stimulēja pupiņu un kressalātu sakņu sistēmas attīstību nepiesārņotā augsnē, bet kviešiem un rapsim - piesārņotā augsnē. HEK stimulējošā ietekme uz augsnes mikroorganismiem tika novērota variantos ar kviešiem, pupiņām un rapsi. Statistiski ticami iegūti ureāzes aktivitātes palielināšanās rezultāti piesārņotā augsnē ar HEK piedevu kviešiem (p = 0.005) un rapsim (p = 0.027). Variantā ar kressalātiem HEK nomāc mikroorganismu ureāzes un fluoresceīna diacetāta aktivitāti. Variantos ar rapsi HEK pievienošana piesārņotai augsnei ievērojami stimulēja augsnes mikrofloras substrāta inducēto elpošanu. Tādejādi HEK ietekmi uz testējamo augu augšanu un augsnes mikroorganismu aktivitāti var novērtēt kā sugasspecifisku. Iegūtie rezultāti liecina, ka HEK efekts ir atkarīgs no augsnes piesārņojuma un humātu iedarbības izraisītā mehānisma komplicēto fizikāli-ķīmisko un bioloģisko procesu kopumā. Optimālai HEK izmantošanai biotehnoloģiskajos procesos augsnes kvalitātes uzlabošanā ir nepieciešami tālāki pētījumi.","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"26 1","pages":"68 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90354614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Toxicity of a pre-manufactured preparation SCP-1 was tested on bacteria, algae and higher plants and was expressed as a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Obtained results showed that among unicellular and more complex testorganisms MIC values differed 10-100 fold suggesting that an application of complex test-organism battery is necessary to evaluate the toxicity of SCP-1 thoroughly. MIC values were different from the critical micelle concentration; this indicates that the SCP1 mechanism of action might not involve membrane disruption and/or destabilization. Virsmu tīrīšanas līdzekļi ir būtiski vides piesārņotāji. Svarīgs posms jaunu tīrīšanas līdzekļu testēšanā ir to toksiskās ietekmes novērtēšana ar dažādiem testa organismiem un metodēm. Šajā pētījumā veikts virsmu tīrīšanas līdzekļa SCP-1 toksiskuma novērtējums, izmantojot vairākus testa organismus: Gram-negatīvām baktērijām (Pseudomonasfluorescens AM11 kultūru, Pseudomonas spp. un Stenotrophomonas spp. celmiem konsorcija sastāvā), saldūdens aļģēm Selenastrum capricornutum,, žaunkājvēžiem Thamnocephalus platyurus, augstākajiem augiem - kviešiem Triticum spp. un kressalātiem Lepidium sativum). Kā toksiskuma rādītājs tika izvēlēta SCP-1 minimālā inhibējošā koncentrācija (MIK). Iegūtie rezultāti norāda uz MIK atkarību no testa organisma sugas. MIK vērtības savā starpā atšķiras 5-600 reizes - no 0.001 % testa organismam T. platyurus līdz 0.6 % kviešiem un kressalātiem. Piesārņotāju koncentrācijas var sasniegt dažādus līmeņus atkarībā no to fizikāli ķīmiskajām īpašībām un apkārtējās vides īpatnībām. Rezultāti apstiprina nepieciešamību ekotoksikoloģiskos pētījumos izmantot testa organismu bateriju, kas satur dažādu trofisko līmeņu pārstāvjus. Virsmaktīvo vielu toksiskums bieži tiek saistīts ar to kritisko micelāro koncentrāciju (KMK), t. i., vielas koncentrāciju, kurā vielas molekulas veido micellas.

It was found that mullite-ZrO2 ceramics both with 4.5 % Y2O3 additive or without it in presence of illite clay tend to have increased densification and compression strength after sintering. Presence of illite clay also promotes change of ZrO2 monoclinic phase to tetragonal phase and the presence of Y2O3 promotes change to ZrO2 cubic phase. Mullīts ir viena no svarīgākajām augsttemperatūras kristāliskajām fāzēm. Mullīta veidošanās keramikā, tajā skaitā arī keramikā, kas satur ZrO2, nodrošina tai augstas mehāniskās, ķīmiskās un termiskās īpašības, arī pie paaugstinātām temperatūrām. Lai gan mullīta fāze sāk veidoties jau ~ 1000 °C temperatūrā, blīvu mullīta keramikas materiālu parasti iegūst viena cikla saķepināšanas procesā pie paaugstinātas temperatūras (≥ 1400 °C). Lai veicinātu šīs keramikas saķepšanu un saķepšanas temperatūras pazemināšanu, pielieto piedevas vai arī aktīvus pulverus, piemēram, γ-Al2O3 nanopulveri, kvarca smiltis, u.c. Dotajā darbā ir pētīta illīta nanopulvera ietekme uz mullīta-ZrO2 keramikas (ar Y2O3 piedevu un bez tās) sablīvēšanos saķepšanas procesā, iegūtā keramikas materiāla kristālisko fāžu sastāvu un īpašībām. Darbā ir pielietoti divu veidu pulveru maisījumi, kas sastāv no γ-Al2O3, SiO2, ZrO2 (monoklīns), ar Y2O3 piedevu vai bez tās. Katrai maisījumu grupai pievienots illīts 5 %, 10 % vai 15 % (masas daļas). Izejas pulveru morfoloģijas izpētei pielietots elektronmikroskops Hitachi-TM3000 un diferenciāli termiskai analīzes iekārta Setaram, Setsys Evolution 1750. Paraugi formēti disku un cilindru veidā. Saķepināšana veikta divās maksimālajās temperatūrās - 1400 °C vai 1500 °C. Keramikas fāžu sastāvs noteikts pielietojot Rentgena staru difraktometriju (D8 Advance Bruker). Raksturīgās keramikas īpašības (relatīvais blīvums, sarukums) noteiktas izmantojot EN, spiedes izturība noteikta pielietojot iekārtu Toni-Technic. Ir iegūti rezultāti, kas parāda, ka saķepināto keramikas paraugu sablīvēšanās (relatīvais blīvums un sarukums) pakāpe pieaug ar illīta mālu piedevu līdz 10%. Pie lielākas piedevas (15 %) ir vērojama iekšējo poru veidošanās tendece. Savukārt Y2O3 piedeva, it sevišķi illītu mālu klātienē veicina sablīvēšanos saķepināšanas procesā, it seviķi pie 1500 ºC. Ir jāatzīmē arī, ka mālu klātiene veicina ZrO2 monoklīnās modifikācijas transformāciju tetragonālā, bet vienlaicīga mālu un Y2O3 piedevu klātiene savukārt ZrO2 monoklīno modifikāciju tranformē kubiskā modifikācijā.","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"10 1","pages":"23 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85488775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The woven structures were manufactured using hand looms or industrial looms (CТБ-175) using one layer technique. The mechanical testing of the reinforcements showed that the parameters of the looms had significant impact on the properties of the reinforcements. However, the desired improvement of strength by adding glass fibre to the fabric was not achieved. The one, two, three and four layer composites were produced in a hydraulic press using reinforcements woven from hemp yarn and polypropylene yarn. The mechanical testing of composites showed that the tensile strength of the composites and the tensile stress at maximum load depends on number of the reinforcement layers, but the tensile extension of the composites and the modulus of elasticity are not closely related to the number of reinforcement layers, but rather on elasticity of yarn used in weaving. Swelling of composites in water was detected.","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"46 1","pages":"27-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77283784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, 3D porous TiO2 ceramic scaffolds were produced via polymer foam replica method. This work deals with several important issues that are considered to be important for 3D scaffolds applied to regenerate bone tissue: pore size, porosity and mechanical strength. TiO2 ceramic scaffolds with pore size 300 μm − 700 μm and porosity > 90 % were obtained. Scaffolds showed fully open and interconnected pore structure that remained after recoating them with low viscosity TiO2 slurry.

Rhizobial inoculants are used in agriculture as bio-fertilizers. Peat, clay powder and three kinds of expanded clay were tested for the immobilization of bacteria. The results showed that carrier material influences the success of immobilization and that storage temperature influences the survival. The best results were achieved with maintenance of bacteria in a suspension and immobilization on peat. We recommend storage of rhizobial products at a temperature of −18 °C or 4 °C. Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae ir augsnes baktērija, kas spēj veidot gumiņus uz zirņu, pupu, lēcu un vīķu saknēm un saistīt atmosfēras slāpekli simbiozē ar augiem. Gumiņbaktērijas izmanto lauksaimniecībā kā bioloģiskus mēslošanas līdzekļus augu augšanas veicināšanai. Komerciālos gumiņbaktēriju preparātus var iegādāties sausā, šķidrā vai liofilizētā formā.

The object of this study was illite from Quartenary glacio-limnic clay of state importance deposit Apriki. Treated clay fractions were subjected to X-ray diffraction, SEM and differential thermal analysis. It was found that thermal and chemical treatment is effective. Thermally treated illite with Al(OH)3 additive was used for sintering a new dense ceramic compositions. Ceramics were characterized by bulk density, shrinkage and compressive strength 150−165 N/mm2. Pētīta ķīmiskas, mehāniskas un termiskas apstrādes ietekme uz illītu struktūras un īpašību izmaiņām, kā arī šīs apstrādes nozīme blīvu augsttemperatūras keramiko materiālu izstrādē. Par izpētes objektu bija izvēlēti kvartāra māli no Apriķu atradnes, kas ir valsts nozīmes māla atradne. Māli no šīs atradnes ir pieskaitāmi pie karbonātus mazsaturošiem māliem un tiem ir relatīvi augsts mālainās frakcijas saturs (daļiņas ar izmēru < 0,005 μm). Mālu frakciju (illīti/kaolinīts) izdalīja no māliem, pielietojot sedimentācijas un ķīmisko metodi. Pētījumiem pielietota ķīmiski izdalītā mālu frakcija. Šīs frakcijas ķīmiskai apstrādei ir pielietots 3 M un 6 M NaOH ūdens šķīdums, mehāniskai apstrāde bija 24 hilga intensīva malšana planetārajās dzirnaviņās, termiskā - izkarsēšana 600 °C temperatūrā 30 min. Neapstrādāto un apstrādāto illītu raksturojumam pielietoja rentgena fāžu analīzi (XRD modelis Rigaku, Japāna un D8 Advance Bruker AXS). Elelementu/oksīdu analīzi veica ar XRD spektrometru (S4 PIONEER Bruker AXS). Daļiņu morfoloģijas un sastāva izmaiņu izpētei pielietoja skenējošo elektronmikroskopu Nova- Nano 650 (FEI Netherlands). Diferenciāli termiskā fāžu pāreju analīzi veica ar iekārtu Setaram, SETSYS Evolution-1750. Ir parādīts, ka sedimentāri un ķīmiski izdalīto illītu/kaolonīta fāžu sastāvs, kā arī oksīdu analīze ir nedaudz nobīdīti. Bija vērojamas arī daļiņu morfoloģijas atšķirības - sedimentēto illītu plākšņveida morfoloģija bija izteiktāka nekā ķīmiski iegūto. Rentgena fāžu analīze rāda, ka saistībā ar intensīvi malto un ar 3 M NaOH šķīdumu apstrādāto illītu/ kaolinīta fāžu difrakcijas maksimumu izmaiņas ir niecīgas. Maz izmaiņu novēroja arī DTA rezultātos. Savukārt, termiski apstrādātie illīti ir daļēji destrukturēti, pie ~ 600 °C izdalījās struktūras OH- grupas. Izmaiņas pēc apstrādes ar 6 M NaOH šķīdumu arī ir attiecināmas uz illītu struktūras izmaiņām, veidojoties nātrija alumosilikāta hidrātam Na(AlSiO4)6·H2O, kurš, cauraužot illītus, tos “sacementē”. Termiski apstrādātie illīti ir aprobēti kā saķepšanu veicinošs komponents jaunu keramikas kompozīciju izveidošanai ar Al(OH)3. Ir parādīts, ka 60 masas % termiski apstrādātu illītu piedeva pie Al(OH)3 apdedzināšanas temperatūrā > 1050 °C veido blīvu keramikas materiālu ar augstu spiedes izturības vērtību - 168 N/mm2.","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"7 1","pages":"19 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80722365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
