We conducted this research in order to investigate the potential of a new material called glass pumice for use as a microorganism immobilization carrier to improve aquaculture pond water quality. The pH adjustment capacity and the Rhodopseudomonas palustris P1 cell adsorption capacity of glass pumice were measured. The immobilized Rps. palustris P1 and the free sample were compared to determine which had an enhanced NH -N and NO -N removal efficiency. The results showed that glass pumice significantly affected the pH of the acid solution (P < 0.05); the pH increased from 3.0 ± 0.08 to 7.21 ± 0.13 in 12 H. Rps. palustris P1 adsorption to glass pumice was rapid and reached equilibrium within 60 Min. The Langmuir adsorption parameter data showed that glass pumice had a higher affinity for Rps. palustris P1 than SiO powder, with an adsorption capacity of 4.02 × 10 cells g . The maximum NH -N and NO -N removal rates by immobilized Rps. palustris P1 were 134.82 ± 0.67% and 93.68 ± 0.14% higher than those of nonimmobilized P1, respectively. Based on the above results, we propose that glass pumice is potential as a microorganism carrier material in aquaculture water treatment.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the properties and behavior of glass-ceramics made from eggshell waste, zeolite, and pumice, focusing on how crystallization occurs during heating.
- X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed different crystalline phases forming at varying sintering temperatures, with changes in crystal shapes observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
- The research also analyzed crystallization activation energy and Avrami parameters, finding that the porosity in the materials influenced their hardness and density, with optimal properties noted at a sintering temperature of 1000 °C for one of the glass-ceramic compositions.

This study aims to evaluate the effective use of porous pumice powder as an additive in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)-based composite materials. The influence of pumice addition on mechanical, thermomechanical, thermal, and physical properties of ABS filaments was reported. Two types of pumice, namely acidic pumice (AP) and basic pumice (BP), were melt compounded with ABS at loading levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight using the melt extrusion preparation method.

Nanometer-sized crystals (nanolites) play an important role in controlling eruptions by affecting the viscosity of magmas and inducing bubble nucleation. We present detailed microscopic and nanoscopic petrographic analyses of nanolite-bearing and nanolite-free pumice from the 2021 eruption of Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba, Japan. The nanolite mineral assemblage includes biotite, which is absent from the phenocryst mineral assemblage, and magnetite and clinopyroxene, which are observed as phenocrysts.

Dentinal hypersensitivity or cervical dentinal sensitivity is one of the commonest clinical problems. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of a single chair side application of 100% pure calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin) in reducing dentin hypersensitivity following ultrasonic scaling as evaluated on a visual analogue scale (VAS). The study included 50 subjects who were selected based on an evaluation of dentinal hypersensitivity on a VAS carried out using a metered air blast from a three-way syringe and divided into two groups ( = 25/group); i.

Redox-driven biogeochemical cycling of iron plays an integral role in the complex process network of ecosystems, such as carbon cycling, the fate of nutrients and greenhouse gas emissions. We investigate Fe-(hydr)oxide (trans)formation pathways from rhyolitic tephra in acidic topsoils of South Patagonian Andosols to evaluate the ecological relevance of terrestrial iron cycling for this sensitive fjord ecosystem. Using bulk geochemical analyses combined with micrometer-scale-measurements on individual soil aggregates and tephra pumice, we document biotic and abiotic pathways of Fe released from the glassy tephra matrix and titanomagnetite phenocrysts.
