came from Magnesia‚ a district found in Greece. Magnesium was first discovered in 1755 by a scientist‚ Joseph Black. Black conducted an experiment in which he distinguished magnesium oxide from calcium oxide. It was later isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808 through the electrolysis of magnesium oxide and mercuric oxide. By 1831 a French scientist‚ Antoine-Alexandre-Brutus Bussy‚ had successfully reacted magnesium chloride with potassium to make a sizable amount of magnesium‚ and studied its properties

Covalent Bonding In a covalent bond‚ a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms. Each of the positively charged nuclei is attracted to the same negatively charged pair of electrons. The diagram: A and B are held together by this shared attraction. Covalent bonds are often drawn as dots and crosses diagrams to show that the electrons have come from two different atoms. Molecules have a certain fixed number of atoms in them joined together by covalent bonds. Examples: Bonding in hydrogen

itself forms a protective coating. "For example‚ aluminium forms a thin protective oxide layer which is impervious to air and water. In other cases (e.g. iron)‚ however‚ the coating either flakes off or is pervious to both air and water. So the whole piece of metal can corrode right through." The most common forms of metallic corrosion are caused by electrochemical reactions‚ wherein two metallic phases (e.g.‚ iron oxide and iron) react in the presence of electrolytic solution. Another mechanism of

O nitrogen O oxygen O argon Rust is a form of iron(III) oxide with water molecules loosely bonded in its structure. (For this reason‚ it is sometimes called hydrated iron(III) oxide). Preventing rust Do you know where there are any painted iron gates or railings? Has the paint done a good job of protecting the iron underneath? Painting is one way of providing a barrier

The main pollutants contributed by automobiles‚ electric power generating stations‚ industrial and domestic fuel consumption‚ refuse burning‚ industrial processing etc. are carbon monoxide (CO)‚ unburned hydrocarbon (UBHC)‚ oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and Lead. An aqua silencer is an attempt mainly dealing with control of emission and noise. The noise and smoke level is considerably less than the conventional silencer‚ it is cheaper‚ no need of catalytic converter and easy to

The zirconium oxide allows for the regrowth of bone without the negative causations from degradation. This is because the wear particles from the zirconia result in less intense host responses. The ceramic also has a superior lubricity to metal implants. In comparison to a cobalt chromium knee replacement‚ the zirconium oxide reduced wear by 50% and helped polyethylene components retain their thickness (Vavrik‚ Landor‚Denk). Additionally the zirconium oxide has a wear factor of 60% less

Octane Rating Octane rating is a fuel’s ability to resist detonation and is classified by three main rating types. Octane rating is the measure of how resistant is gasoline and other fuels in the combustion engines to automatic ignition. It is the measure of a fuel’s burning characteristics. It is a standard measure of the performance of a motor or aviation fuel‚ the higher the octane number‚ the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. In broad terms‚ fuels with a higher octane

titanium and its alloys‚ bioceramics‚ composites and polymers are in constant contact with the aggressive body fluid‚ they often fail and finally fracture due to corrosion. The corrosion behavior of various implants and the role of the surface oxide film and the corrosion products on the failure of implants are discussed.

Regarding the TPR results: ZnFe2O4 did not show any sign of α-oxygen related to surface‚ which is looser than β or γ-oxygen related to the deeper oxygen of crystal structure. However‚ reducibility of lattice oxygen depends on the crystal size of the metal oxides; the smaller particles results shortening the distance for oxygen migration from the bulk to the surface. In summary‚ the characterizations of ZnFe2O4 reveal that the preparation protocol allowed ZnFe2O4 to have a smaller particle size and larger
