Electrodeposition of alloys or compounds in molten salts and applications by Taxil P., Chamelot P., Massot L., Hamel C.

“…The interest in this process is to obtain new materials for high technology, particularly the compounds of reactive components such as actinides, rare earth and refractory metals. Two ways of preparation are considered: (i) electrocoating of the more reactive metal on a cathode made of the noble one and reaction between the two metals in contact, and (ii) electrocoating on an inert cathode of the intermetallic compound by coreduction of the ions of each elements. …”

Effect of copper ions on the associations of <i>Azospirillum</i> bacteria with wheat seedlings (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) by A. Yu. Muratova, E. V. Lyubun, S. N. Golubev, O. V. Turkovskaya

“…The physiological and biochemical activity of plant–microbial associations enables them to determine the mobility, bioavailability, and accumulation of heavy metals in plant tissues. These abilities are the basis for the use of plants and their associated microorganisms in the development of approaches that ensure both the prevention of the ingress of toxic metals into food crops and the extraction of pollutants from polluted soils by using phytoremediation technologies. …”
