The Kroll Process for the production of zirconium utilizes
the reduction of zirconium tetrachloride with metallic magnesium.
Control of the magnesium content of the final zirconium metal is
essential, as residual magnesium adversely influences the properties
of zirconium.
In this thesis a volumetric method has been presented for the
determination...
An investigation of Mn uptake by five-day-old excised barley
roots revealed that a metabolically-mediated process was involved.
In short-term experiments, the rate of Mn absorption was comparable
to that of the macronutrient cations. Like other metabolically
absorbed cations, the Mn absorption rate was a direct function of
the ambient concentration...
Part I discusses the development of an aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy that may combine strength, extrudability, favorable corrosion resistance with low cost and scrap compatibility. The first part of the study determined the effects of small composition, heat treatment and mechanical processing changes on the ambient temperature tensile properties of the alloy....
The base Al-Zn superplastic alloy was investigated at 250°C to
determine the effect of small amounts of magnesium on mechanical
properties. Six alloys of nominal composition 0.00, 0.10, 0.25,
0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 weight percent magnesium, constant 78 weight
percent zinc, and variable 21 to 22 weight percent aluminum were...
A dual -pH simultaneous direct spectrophotometric method for
the determination of calcium and magnesium using Arsenazo III has
been developed.
An absorption spectra study was made of Arsenazo III and its
magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium complexes at various
pH values. This study showed that total calcium and magnesium
can...
