The reaction of F, often a component of industrial
wastes and phosphatic fertilizers, with soil was studied
with regard to sorption reactions and resultant changes in
solution composition. Sodium fluoride solutions (0.0 to
2.5 mmol/L F) were equilibrated with ten soils for 24h.
The soil extract solutions were analyzed for...
In investigating wood treatment as a possible processing option for Alaska forest products manufacturers, the double-diffusion method using sodium fluoride followed by a copper sulfate appeared to be the most advantageous approach. Yet, little information was available as to the chemical retention after treating and its resistance to leaching. Green...
New acceptor-type graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) containing perfluoroalkyl anions have been synthesized by using both chemical and electrochemical methods and characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. Investigation into these graphite intercalation compounds can provide novel materials and a detailed understanding of their properties.
GICs of composition Cx[FB(C₂F₅)₃]·δF are prepared for...
Percent fruit set of `Royal Ann' sweet cherries during 1967, 1969, and
1970 was found to increase with distance and decrease with increasing direction
(from 0-140 degrees, based on East = 0 degrees) from the aluminum
reduction plant in The Dalles, Oregon. Correlative studies also indicate that
annual growth and...
Although fluoride is an important trace element in the prevention of dental caries,
it has a narrow range between beneficial and toxic effects. Excessive fluoride intake for
example can cause dental fluorosis in infants and children whose teeth are still
developing. The primary source of this unwanted fluoride has been...
Stepwise multiple regression techniques were used to statistically analyze the relationships between damage caused by the pine needle sheath miner Zellaria haimbachi (Busck); a needle miner, Oenerostoma etrobivorum (Zeller); sugar pine tortrix, Choriatoneura Zambertiana (Busck); and ambient and foliar concentrations of fluoride in lodgepole pine (Pinue contorta v. Zatifolia Engelm.)...
