In the early 1990s, Splinter et al.14 utilised XPS, AES, and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) to examine the water-magnesium interactions at the sub-micron scale. They reported on the formation of MgO with traces of hydrogen at the metal/oxide interface and suggested 'it is likely as ...
In addition, visual observations of the slag accumulating on the walls of boiler steam tubes showed a surprisingly different and improved character, texture and volume when compared to visual observations of boiler steam tubes with slag from fuel combusted in the absence of the present mixed metal...
Afterwards, clearly visible current-density peaks occur, which are accompanied by intense gas evolution at the sample surface and its change of colour from transparent to dark grey. At the beginning of the subsequent rising potential ramp between 𝑡3t3 and 𝑡4t4, similar observations can be ...
The broadening of the second peak could also be due to Mg improving the dispersion and reducing the crystallite size of the Co-based oxide. 2.2. Spent Catalyst Characterisation To determine the effect of the CO-PrOx reaction environment on catalyst phase stability, the spent catalysts were ...
To assess recent observations from field trials on tomatoes showing resistance to pathogen attacks, porous micron-scale particles composed of nano-grains of MgO were hydrated and sprayed on the leaves of healthy tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants in a 20-day program. The results showed that the...
