Study on anionic dye toxicity reduction from simulated media by MnO2/agro-biomass based-AC composite adsorbent

In order to reduce the consequences of increased by-products generated by demand for plants essential oil extraction factories, it is important transforming such waste disposal into useful materials. Herein, efficient adsorbent from residues of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves (ECL-AC) supported αMnO2 was prepared by the redox reaction between Mn2+ and Mn7+ at approximatively neutral pH and ECL-AC to increase their interactions contributing to the enhanced adsorptive capacity for Helianthine from aqueous media. The by-product was simultaneously activated by impregnation in Potassium permanganate solution as oxidizing agent followed by heating in tubular furnace under controlled atmosphere, resulting in α-MnO2-AC adsorbent. Prior to removal tests, the prepared AC- MnO2 sample was characterized for functional groups (IRFT) and pores structure by evaluation the iodine number (IN) and methylene blue index (MBI). Parameters affecting Helianthine uptake such as equilibrium time, adsorbent dose, solution pH and temperature were also studied. Well known adsorption isotherm models namely, Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin were used for data analysis and better described by Langmuir model with a maximum uptake of 64.71 mg/g at pH 2.08. The surface area estimation indicates that AC-MnO2 better described by Langmuir model. The surface area estimation indicates that MnO2-AC is microporous/mesoporous material. Calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of Helianthine dye onto MnO2-AC is a spontaneous and exothermic process. Results indicate that this doped biomass based-activated carbon can be used successfully as an alternative low-cost adsorbent in the removal of Helianthine from industrial effluents.

Fine Flow Structure at the Miscible Fluids Contact Domain Boundary in the Impact Mode of Free-Falling Drop Coalescence

Registration of the flow pattern and the matter distribution of a free falling liquid drop in a target fluid at rest in the impact mode of coalescence when the kinetic energy (KEn) of the drop exceeds its available surface potential energy (ASPe) was carried out by photo and video recording. We studied the evolution of the fine flow structure at the initial stage of the cavity formation. To carry out color registration, the observation field was illuminated by several matrix LED and fiber-optic sources of constant light. The planning of experiments and interpretation of the results were based on the properties of the complete solutions of the fundamental equations of a fluid mechanics system, including the transfer and conversion of energy processes. Complete solutions of the system of equations describe large-scale flow components that are waves or vortices as well as thin jets (ligaments, filaments, fibers, trickles). In experiments, the jets are accelerated by the converted available surface potential energy (ASPe) when the free surfaces of merging fluids were eliminated. The experiments were performed with the coalescence of water, solutions of alizarin ink, potassium permanganate, and copper sulfate or iron sulfate drops in deep water. In all cases, at the initial contact, the drop begins to lose its continuity and breaks up into a thin veil and jets, the velocity of which exceeds the drop contact velocity. Small droplets, the size of which grows with time, are thrown into the air from spikes at the jet tops. On the surface of the liquid, the fine jets leave colored traces that form linear and reticular structures. Part of the jets penetrating through the bottom and wall of the cavity forms an intermediate covering layer. The jets forming the inside layer are separated by interfaces of the target fluid. The processes of molecular diffusion equalize the density differences and form an intermediate layer with sharp boundaries in the target fluid. All noted structural features of the flow are also visualized when a fresh water drop isothermally spreads in the same tap water. Molecular diffusion processes gradually smooth out the fast-changing boundary of merging fluids, which at the initial stage has a complex and irregular shape. Similar flow patterns were observed in all performed experiments; however, the geometric features of the flow depend on the individual thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the contacting fluids.

The study of capillarity phenomena by means of ImageJ software

"Capillarity phenomena appear due to different molecular forces acting between fluid molecules located at the interface with either another fluid or a solid. The macroscopic description of the phenomenon can be done in terms of surface tension. In this paper, we determined the surface tension coefficient of aqueous solution of potassium permanganate by means of Jurin's law and also made diameter measurements and capillary ascents on images by using ImageJ software. Furthermore, we studied the capillary phenomena between two parallel and non- parallel plates. In the case of non-parallel plates, employing a special plugin of the ImageJ software, we determined the equation of the rectangular hyperbola drawn by the surface of liquid rising between plates. These experiments can be performed at elementary level and, additionally, used as a stimulus to discover more advanced topics."

X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY STUDY OF THE REDUCTION AND ADSORPTION CAPACITY OF CARBON NANOMATERIALS BY THE RELEASE OF Mn(VII) IONS

The reductive and adsorption capacity of hierarchically structured carbon films synthesized from glucose on a molten aluminum catalyst under a layer of molten salts and thermally reduced graphene oxide upon their interaction with a sodium permanganate solution in a neutral medium at room temperature has been studied. The data obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show that all manganese adsorbed on the surface of all carbon nanomaterials is in a reduced form – most of it is in the form of quadrivalent manganese ions, and about 20% is in the form of trivalent manganese ions, which makes the formed carbon-oxide composites promising materials as cathodes of chemical current sources. Thermally reduced graphene oxide demonstrated the lowest adsorption activity. Hierarchically structured carbon films make it possible to adsorb up to 100 wt % of the original manganese in neutral media, which is much higher than with all known commercial adsorbents.

Controlled and Uniform Wet Etching of Molybdenum Nanowires

We achieved the controlled recess of molybdenum (Mo), which is alternative interconnect material for copper (Cu), by wet chemical etching. This wet etching process includes two main steps which are chemical oxidation of Mo and its subsequent dissolution, respectively. Firstly, Mo nanowires (NWs) are uniformly oxidized with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution in acetone. Secondly, the Mo oxide is dissolved using an aqueous solution of HCl. Mo NWs are characterized through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging after each of the above steps. Cyclic etching experiments including oxidation and dissolution of Mo showed that Mo recess is linear and can be controlled for each cycle, where the etching produced the smooth Mo surface. This controlled Mo recess is crucial for the fabrication of next-generation metal interconnects.

On the chemistry of Beckurt’s test for physostigmine: A novel hydride transfer

Beckurt treated physostigmine hydrochloride with dilute potassium permanganate solution and observed separation of manganese dioxide. Since at first sight there is no reaction site for this oxidation, it was interesting to clear up the reaction route of this test. Acid hydrolysis of this O-phenylcarbamate yielded the phenolic derivative of the three-ring indole alkaloid hydrochloride. Now are present at para-position an electrodotic group and a positive charged nitrogen atom. However, this nitrogen has an octet of electrons; thus, for reaction to occur a hydride ion must be displaced. This can happen in the presence of a hydride acceptor, that is, by reduction of permanganate ion. This chemical deportment has been postulated recently in a completely different reaction sequence. So, our proposal is a novel one. The mechanism of the following inorganic steps to the final product has not been advanced, and it is provided in this communication.

Preparation of layered manganese dioxide nanoparticles by microwave discharge in liquid: a simple, rapid and direct synthetic method

Manganese dioxide is one of the key materials in battery, adsorption media, and catalytic materials in the environmental field because of its excellent properties. In this investigation, new synthetical technology—the microwave discharge plasma in liquid method was used directly to make manganese dioxide with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) solution. The synthesis was realized in one step by the microwave discharging plasma in potassium permanganate aqueous solution without using any dispersants or stabilizers. The reduction time was very short, it only takes 3 min to complete the reduction of the 0.2 mmol l−1 potassium permanganate solution for the formation of MnO2. The structure characteristics and adsorption-desorption curves were studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XRD, etc. it was found that the synthesized manganese dioxide nano-sheet had a layered structure and a large specific surface area (248.89 m2 g−1). The methylene blue was used to validate the effectiveness of the prepared manganese dioxide. The results showed that the synthesized manganese dioxide had good adsorption and photocatalytic properties. In conclusion, the microwave liquid-phase discharge plasma is a very effective reduction method with potential development.

Electrocapacitive and electrocatalytic performances of hydrochar prepared by one-step hydrothermal carbonization without further activation

Abstract Hydrochar was produced from extracted avocado seed using one-step hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) at a temperature of 200 °C for 12 h. The effects of various feedstock solutions on the specific surface area, morphology, pore characteristics, crystallinity, and chemical bonding were investigated to confirm the changes in the electrochemical performances of the produced hydrochar. The presence of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and ammonia (NH4OH) solution in the HTC process successfully produced a porous graphite-like structure of hydrochar with the highest surface area and specific capacitance. Moreover, it also exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance toward the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR), with a current density of 2.15 mA cm−2 via the 2-electron pathway. These results imply that the HTC process can produce hydrochar with high electrocapacitive and electrocatalytic performances even without further activation at high temperatures.

Obstetrical Management of Partial Uterine Prolapse in a Mare

Uterine Prolapse is termed as the eversion of the uterus or casting of ‘’wethers’’ or casting of calf bed. It is a common complication of the third stage of labor and more common in pleuripara than primipara. Uterine prolapse is common in cows and ewes, but rarely seen in mares, dogs, and cats. A six-year-old female pony was brought to the emergency unit at the Obstetrics Unit of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute Orathanadu, with a history of aborted pre-term (eight months) a day before and the mass hanging through the vulva. On clinical examination, the animal was dull and in a standing posture, the congested mucous membrane with tachycardia was noticed. Further examination of the mass revealed severe congestion and edema of the prolapsed uterus with no evidence of fetal membrane remnants. A vaginal examination explored constricted cervix. Blood samples were collected for hematology and serum biochemistry. Upon epidural anesthesia, the prolapsed mass was washed with potassium permanganate solution and then a hypertonic solution. After 10 minutes, the mass was washed with warm normal saline. Using Cetrimide cream as a lubricant and an antiseptic, the mass was reduced and repositioned. No Buhner’s suture was applied. Mare has received 40 IU of oxytocin for the involution process to begin. Systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were administered for five days. Uterine lavage was done for three days with normal saline and povidone-iodine to aid in uterine clearance. On consequent days, the mare had improved and the cervix was closed with no discharge. The mare had an uneventful recovery.

Определение частных порядков реакции восстановления перманганата калия этанолом в различных средах

A spectrophotometric kinetic study of the reaction of the potassium permanganate reduction by excess ethanol in acidic, neutral and alkaline environments was performed. The reaction mixtures were prepared from the solutions of potassium permanganate of different concentrations (0.0004, 0.001 and 0.002 М) and either the solutions of sulphuric acid (1, 3 and 10 %), water, or the solutions of sodium hydroxide (0.01, 0.04 and 0.1 М). The kinetic curves were recorded with the spectrophotometer at the wavelengths of 525 nm (in acidic environment), 400 nm (in neutral environment) and 605 nm (in alkaline environment). The initial reaction rates were determined from the slopes of the initial linear parts of the kinetic curves. Using the differential van’t Hoff method, the partial reaction orders were determined. It was shown that in the acidic environment the partial reaction order with respect to permanganate is close to 1.5, and that with respect to hydrogen ions is close to 0.6. In the neutral and alkaline environments the reaction obeys the first partial order with respect to permanganate, and the partial order of the reaction in alkaline environments with respect to hydroxyl-ions is close to 0.8. It was also shown that the effective rate constants of the reaction in acidic and alkaline environments are significantly higher than that in neutral environment

Transverse mixing zone under dispersion in porous media: Effects of medium heterogeneity and fluid rheology

The addition of an environmental remediation modifier—polymer solution—to a Newtonian fluid expands the distribution of remediation agents injected in situ into saturated aquifers (affecting plume velocity and deformation), enhancing remediation efficiency. However, the effect of the flow properties of the polymer solution on the macroscopic transverse dispersion remains poorly understood. In this work, a transparent thin-layer two-dimensional sandbox was constructed to simulate the aquifer, and the transverse distribution range of colored solute—permanganate solution and viscous shear-thinning fluid (permanganate solution + xanthan gum)—was captured in real-time by a camera device during transport in porous media. The boundary dispersion coefficient was obtained by fitting a breakthrough curve of the boundary concentration, while the overall plume dispersion coefficient was determined via image moment analysis. The effects of fluid rheology and heterogeneity on the transverse mixing of the plume were analyzed, and the mechanism of viscoelasticity-induced transverse dispersion and mixing enhancement was summarized. The results indicated that the anisotropic stress generated by polymer fluid deformation at high water velocity increased the fluctuation and transverse distribution of the plume, while higher-viscosity polymers increased the initial extrusion swelling and additional compressive stress, covering a larger area. Xanthan gum enhanced the transverse distribution of the plume mainly through initial injection-extrusion expansion effect, viscoelastic stability of the post-injection part, and streamline crossing attributed to elastic turbulence. This study also verified that the shear-thinning fluid enhanced the effect of transverse dispersion and mixing under heterogeneous conditions, providing insights applicable to groundwater remediation.

Deep-sea in situ determination of sulfide using a sensitized chemiluminescent terbium complex.

A new chemiluminescence (CL) method based on the chemiluminescent reaction between sulfide and an acidic permanganate solution was used to quantify sulfide in seawater. A terbium-pipemidic acid complex was used as CL enhancer. The method was used to determine sulfide in the concentration range of 1-30μmol/L in artificial seawater samples. The limit of detection of the method was 21nmol/L sulfide. The sensitivity of the CL method was eight times higher than that of the CL method reported previously. Br- ions, which are conservative ions, interfered with sulfide. We investigated the effects of salinity, water temperature, and interfering chemicals,such asheavy-metal ions and organic matter, on the performance of the CL method. In addition, sulfite-spiked natural seawater samples were analyzed. The results demonstrate that the CL method can be used to develop a deep-sea sulfide analyzer.

Enhanced removal of phenolic compounds via irreversible sorption using manganese oxides immobilized on oxidized humin

In this study, to resolve the formation of manganese ions (Mn2+) and radical products of the 1-napthol removal reaction via birnessite, humin was oxidized in a potassium permanganate solution to synthesize humin–manganese oxides (Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2). Experiments were performed to compare the radical products and 1-napthol removal efficiencies of Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2 with different humin ratios (250–1000 mg), Ox–Hu, and δ-MnO2. In the 12.5 mg loading/batch experiment, the 1-napthol reaction rate constant (k1 = 0.12) was over three times higher for Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2 (250 mg) than for Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2 (500–1000 mg) and the absorbed Mn2+ was effectively eluted in the reacted solution (Mn2+ < 0.025 mg/L). High-performance liquid chromatography results of extracted mediator reaction products revealed that most of the 1-napthol and polymer reaction products (e.g, 1,4-napthoquinon) were recovered from Ox–Hu and δ-MnO2 but not from Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2, confirming that the residues were strongly bound in Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2. Therefore, Ox–Hu/δ-MnO2 enhanced the 1-napthol removal efficiency via the δ-MnO2 mediated oxidation coupling reaction and by irreversible sorption to humin. In this study, the stability of bound residues contributes significantly to the proposed method by disposing mediators after the treatment.

Targeted delivery of paclitaxel drug using polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles for fibrosarcoma therapy: in vitro and in vivo studies

Fibrosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that affects cells known as fibroblasts that are malignant, locally recurring, and spreading tumor in fibrous tissue. In this work, an iron plate immersed in an aqueous solution of double added deionized water, supplemented with potassium permanganate solution (KMnO4) was carried out by the pulsed laser ablation in liquid method (PLAIL). Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were synthesized using different laser wavelengths (1064, 532, and 266 nm) at a fluence of 28 J/cm2 with 100 shots of the iron plate to control the concentration, shape and size of the prepared high-stability SPIONs. The drug nanocarrier was synthesized by coating SPION with paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded chitosan (Cs) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). This nanosystem was functionalized by receptors that target folate (FA). The physiochemical characteristics of SPION@Cs-PTX-PEG-FA nanoparticles were evaluated and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. Cell internalization, cytotoxicity assay (MTT), apoptosis induction, and gene expression of SPION@Cs-PTX-PEG-FA were estimated in fibrosarcoma cell lines, respectively. In vivo studies used BALB/c tumor-bearing mice. The results showed that SPION@Cs-PTX-PEG-FA exhibited suitable physical stability, spherical shape, desirable size, and charge. SPION@Cs-PTX-PEG-FA inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of cancer cells (P < 0.01). The results of the in vivo study showed that SPION@Cs-PTX-PEG-FA significantly decreased tumor size compared to free PTX and control samples (P < 0.05), leading to longer survival, significantly increased splenocyte proliferation and IFN-γ level, and significantly decreased the level of IL-4. All of these findings indicated the potential of SPION@Cs-PTX-PEG-FA as an antitumor therapeutic agent.

The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of folic acid in its pharmaceutical preparations, from Erbil Company – Iraq. Trade name (folic acide).

Staphylococcus Infection: Relapsing Atopic Dermatitis and Microbial Restoration.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) skin is susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infection, potentially exposing it to a plethora of toxins and virulent determinants, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) (α-hemolysin (Hla) and phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs)), and superantigens. Depending on the degree of infection (superficial or invasive), clinical treatments may encompass permanganate (aq) and bleach solutions coupled with intravenous/oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin, vancomycin, doxycycline, clindamycin, daptomycin, telavancin, linezolid, or tigecycline. However, when the skin is significantly traumatized (sheathing of epidermal sections), an SA infection can rapidly ensue, impairing the immune system, and inducing local and systemic AD presentations in susceptible areas. Furthermore, when AD presents systemically, desensitization can be long (years) and intertwined with periods of relapse. In such circumstances, the identification of triggers (stress or infection) and severity of the flare need careful monitoring (preferably in real-time) so that tailored treatments targeting the underlying pathological mechanisms (SA toxins, elevated immunoglobulins, impaired healing) can be modified, permitting rapid resolution of symptoms.

ВЛИЯНИЕ РЕЖИМОВ СИНТЕЗА НА ЭЛЕКТРОХИМИЧЕСКИЕ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ КОМПОЗИТОВ НА ОСНОВЕ МНОГОСТЕННЫХ УГЛЕРОДНЫХ НАНОТРУБОК И ОКСИДА МАРГАНЦА, ЛЕГИРОВАННОГО ОКСИДОМ СЕРЕБРА

In this work, promising electrode materials for asymmetric supercapacitors based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes and manganese oxide doped with silver oxide were obtained and studied. To form the composites, the method of exposure of carbon material in an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate with the addition of silver nitrate in various quantities was used. It has been established that an increase in the amount of silver nitrate during the formation of the composite leads to an increase in the mass loading of the composite with both silver oxide and manganese oxide, which provides higher electrochemical characteristics of the material. The maximum specific capacity of the composite with a high content of manganese and silver was about 146 and 65 F/g at discharge current densities of 0.1 and 1.0 A/g, respectively. The high capacitive characteristics of the composite are ensured by a combination of the electrochemical activity of manganese oxide and the low electrical resistance of silver oxide.

Research of the oxidation process of N-Butane waste of “Sho’rtangazkimyo” LLC in heterogeneous catalysts

In the article, n-butane, which is a waste of “Shortangazkimyo” LLC, has a porosity of 33% obtained by reaction with potassium permanganate solution in aqueous solutions at temperatures above 100 ℃ and pressures above 1 atmosphere. In the presence of a catalyst containing xTiO2•(1-x)SiO2 (x=0.0001-0.04), the influence of concentration, the ratio of n-butane to potassium permanganate, solvent, temperature, pH and other factors on the rate of oxidation reaction was studied. The best solvent for oxidation of butane with potassium permanganate solution is ethyl alcohol, it provides maximum selectivity for the formation of butanone-2 and is stable under oxidative conditions. Increasing the ratio from 2:1 to 6:1 increases the butanone-2 yield from 28 to 44% and the selectivity from 50.7% to 63%. It was found that the productivity of butanone-2 (17%) and selectivity (20%) decreased in the ratio of n-butane, a waste product of “Shortangazkimyo” LLC, to potassium permanganate solution=1:2, which is related to the formation of a two-phase system. As the temperature increases from 50 ℃ to 90 ℃, the yield of butanone-2 increases from 13.4 % to 30.5 % and the conversion rate of potassium permanganate solution increases from 37 to 97 %. The dependence of the selectivity of potassium permanganate solution on butanone-2 is unusual with a maximum of 70 ℃ (54.15%). Thus, the conducted research allows us to conclude that the optimal conditions for the synthesis of butanone-2 are: temperature - 70 ℃; Catalyst concentration of xTiO2•(1-x)SiO2 (x=0.0001-0.04) with 33% porosity obtained by reaction in aqueous solutions at temperatures above 100 ℃ and pressures above 1 atmosphere is 38.99 g/l; The molar ratio of nbutane, which is a waste of "Sho’rtangazkimyo" LLC: potassium permanganate solution - 3:1; pH=7.

Catalytic synthesis of methyl ethyl ketone from N-Butane

In the article, in order to evaluate the effect of various factors on the oxidation process of n-butane, a series of experiments were conducted at a temperature of 170 ℃ for 58 hours with the mixing of reactants in a reactor at a speed of 0.05 m amplitude 2s-1. Infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction data were reported. According to infrared spectroscopy, when the ratio of tetra-Npropylammonium hydroxide/tetraethoxysilane is less than 0.085, it is proved that the main product is a mixture of amorphous titanium(IV) oxide and the amorphous form of titanium(IV) oxide is amorphous silicon(IV) oxide. Powder X-ray diffraction of the samples also showed the X-ray appearance of amorphous titanium(IV) oxide peaks. According to electron microscopy, a change in the size of the catalyst particles is observed as the initial molar ratio of tetra-N-propylammonium hydroxide/tetraethylorthosilicate increases. As a result of the study of the effect of temperature on the reaction rate, it was proved that the productivity of butanone-2 increased from 13.65% to 30.85% and the conversion rate of potassium permanganate solution increased from 37.5 to 97.2% with an increase in temperature from 50 ℃ to 90 ℃. It should be noted that the initial tetra butyl titanatetetraethylorthosilicate molar ratio is xTiO2•(1-x)SiO2 (x=0.0001-0.04) with 33% porosity obtained by reaction in aqueous solutions at temperatures above 100 ℃ and pressures above 1 atmosphere. ) has a significant effect on the obtained samples of the catalyst.

Influence of silicon oxide (SiO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) on the adaptation of microplants of roses (&lt;i&gt;Rose L.&lt;/i&gt;) cv. Reine Sammut

The research is devoted to the optimization of the method of adaptation of Reine Sammut microplants of roses using silicon oxide (SiO2) by spraying and watering. For the experiment, there have been used standard microplants obtained by the method of clonal micropropagation, corresponding to GOST 29105.1-91-29105.3-91. Before planting for adaptation, the microplants were cleared from the lower leaves, the roots were washed from the agar nutrient medium in a decimolar solution of potassium permanganate and trimmed to 15-20 mm. Adaptation was carried out in micro-greenhouses on a peat nutrient substrate, made in accordance with TU 20.12.80 001 41790563 2020, in a light room (humidity 36 %, temperature 23...25 ° C, light period duration 16 hours, illumination 8000 Lx). In order to disinfect the substrate, the biofungicide "Trichoderma veride" (1.5 ml/l) was used. Microplants after planting for adaptation were shed and sprinkled in accordance with the experiment options: 1) distilled water (control); 2) 0.01% SiO2 solution; 3) 0.005% SiO2 solution; 4) 0.0025% SiO2 solution. With prolonged ventilation of micro-greenhouses, 28 % of plants in the control variant showed drying of the leaves, which did not occur when using silicon oxide solutions. According to visual diagnostics, the most attractive plant species was when watered and sprayed with 0.01% silica. This concentration of silicon oxide during plant adaptation compared to the control contributed to a significant increase in plant height and shoot length by 50.0 mm and 42.6 mm, respectively (LSD05 = 36.1 and 28.3), and a tendency to increase the number of leaves by 1. 6 pcs., shoot weight 2.0 and roots 1.8 times.
