Five light-weight aggregates (LWAs), suitable for filter media in subsurface flow constructed wetlands, were tested for potential removal of phosphorus (P). P-sorption variation is dependent on the chemical characteristics of the LWA. All LWAs exhibited high pH and high total metal content; however, P-sorption capacity varied by two orders of magnitude. Of the LWAs' chemical characteristics (total metal content, cation exchange capacity, and oxalate soluble Fe and Al), total metal content has the closest relationship with the P-sorption capacity. Among the four major metal ions (Mg, Ca, Fe and Al), Ca has the strongest correlation with the P-sorption capacity.

Abstract Honey is a common sweetener in the Jordanian diet with annual consumption of about one thousand tons, two-third of them are imported. It is believed that the elemental profile of honey is an indicator of safety and origin. In the literature, there is a lack of studies concerning levels of trace elements in honey in Jordan. A total 49 elements including 18 rare earth elements (REEs) were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in mono-floral, and multi-floral imported honey samples, and multi-floral local samples. Regarding mono-floral samples, Black forest samples has the highest total metal content, while Acasia has the lowest total metal content. Local multi-floral honey has the largest Sr, and total REEs levels, while it has the lowest Mn levels. Very low levels of toxic elements were found in all samples, indicating the safety of honey in Jordan for human consumption. Results of this study showed that advanced statistical models are required to discriminate between multi-floral imported and local honey.

In this paper, the Ti(C,N)-based cermets were fabricated with ultrafine Ti(C,N) powders and metal binders Mo and Ni, in which the ratio of Mo to Ni was 1:1 and total metal content ranged from 10wt% to 20wt%. The specimens were first CIP and pressureless sintered at various temperatures ranged from 1450°C to 1600°C and then treated at 1350°C for 20mins by HIP at the pressure of 140MPa. Results revealed that Post-HIP treatment could dramatically improve the density of specimens if their densities after pressureless sintering could reach the required standard. At the same sintering temperature, the grains became finer with increasing metal contents. The grain sizes increased dramatically with increasing sintering temperature from 1550°C to 1600°C. Compared to those obtained by hot pressing, the cermets obtained by pressureless-HIP sintering had better mechanical properties.

The dry crushing of wasted printed circuit boards (PCBs) can make secondary contamination. In this paper, a wet comminution process is put forward to solve the difficulties. For the comminution product, the distributions of particle size, liberation degree and metal grade are analyzed, and for the product below 1mm, a wet metal beneficiation process combined with shaking table and flotation is employed. The results show that the Whole PCBs could be comminuted by the MX wet impact crusher, and the cumulative yield, liberation degree, total metal content and its copper grade of the product below 1mm is 83.49%, 97%, 83.46% and 20.50%respectively, and that metal concentrates could be beneficiated by XZY wet shaking table, and the yield, total metal weight, copper grade of the metal concentrate, the recovery of total metal and copper is 34.87%, 88.99%, 50.73%,79.90% and 78.07% respectively keeping the feeding concentration at 20% and water consumption in 1100L/h. For these metals included by shaking-table middling, the separation of both flotation and shaking table is carried out, and the total metal content and its copper grade, recovery in metal concentrate 2′ is 72.07% , 31.59% and62.04% respectively, meanwhile the copper grade of tailings in flotation and shaking table are decreased to 1.26% and 2.94%. The wet treatment process can effectively concentrate these valuable metals from waste PCBs.

Effect of sciatic denervation on the level of potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper and iron in the gastrocnemius of the rat was studied. Following denervation, copper exhibited most pronounced increase in the muscle. Potassium and magnesium did not change at first, but they decreased later; conversely, iron showed initially an apparent increase which became later less obvious. Calcium decreased first, then increased. On the whole, heavy metals appear to be chelated in place of alkaline metals. However, there was also some difference among alkaline metals, calcium behaving somewhat opposite to potassium and magnesium in their chelation.
