Effect of potassium silicate on epidemic components of powdery mildew on melon

Despite the differences in Si distribution related to how PS was applied to the plants, root and foliar applications affected all the epidemic components compared to the non-Si control treatment, except for the LP. However, the effects of PS application on roots were more pronounced since it resulted in greater reductions of RC, CA, and conidial production than foliar application. The effects of both forms of PS application on the epidemic components correlated with lower values of AUDPC, and th

Potassium silicate is a naturally occurring compound

Potassium silicate is a naturally occurring compound that is not expected to adversely affect humans or the environment when used as a fungicide, insecticide, or miticide. The benefits it adds to industries are innumerable. It adds longevity to mortars and concrete, can fireproof wood, and is even used in welding rods. Just a word of warning, though. The pH level of potassium silicate is very high. By most estimates, Silicates are the most common minerals in Earth's crust and mantle, making up 9

Effects of potassium-silicate, sands and carbonates concentrations on metakaolin-based geopolymers for high-temperature applications

Potassium-based geopolymers have been observed to have great thermal stability, mainly due to the crystallization of kalsilite and/or leucite at high temperature as stated by V.F.F. Sakkas et al. Successfully produced a geopolymer based on potassium silicate, and with excellent passive fire-resistant properties and low thermal conductivity. After being exposed to thermal loading with a peak temperature of 1380 °C, the K-based geopolymer specimens showed no damage or visible deformations. X-ray i

What is Potassium silicate

The feasibilities of consolidated samples with different potassium silicate solutions (K6, 6, and K5, five mol/L) and different additives (sands, carbonates, and the mix) were tested. All compounds can be easily made and are feasible with homogeneous aspects and the same brown–red color, regardless of their chemical composition, due to the presence of iron in the metakaolin used. A visual inspection of the heat-treated samples shows that every formulation can withstand the heating program withou

Is potassium silicate safe

What is Potassium silicate?The USDA approves potassium silicate as a fertilizer for conventional agriculture. It is used on various crops, including rice, wheat, barley, sugar cane, melons, grapes and ornamentals. Potassium silicate is also used to manage certain fungal diseases on high-value crops. Silicon and potassium are found in nature, but the potassium silicate compound must be manufactured. This doesn't necessarily mean that potassium silicate is inorganic. The compound's function is to

Silica Coatings

Silicon dioxide coatings have been widely used for several reasons: it increases the solubility of the nanoparticles without altering their chemical properties, it is biocompatible, and it provides stability to the particle in changing environmental conditions, e.g., pH and ionic concentration. In addition, it is relatively easy to prepare: following a microemulsion technique that allows the thickness to be easily controlled and the crystallinity of the surface layer by varying the synthetic par

Borosilicate glass of boron

Borosilicate glass, typically 12–15% B2O3, 80% SiO2, and 2% Al2O3, has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, giving it excellent resistance to thermal shock. Schott AG's "Duran" and Owens-Corning's trademarked Pyrex are two prominent brand names for this glass, used in laboratory and consumer cookware and bakeware, chiefly for this resistance. Several boron compounds are known for their extreme hardness and toughness. Boron carbide is a ceramic material which is obtained by decomposing B2O3 wi

Volumetric Feeder for Fumed Silica

Fumed silica is also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in flame pyrolysis of silicon tetrachloride or from quartz sand vaporized in a 3000 °C electric arc. Fumed Silica consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles, agglomerating into tertiary particles. The resulting powder has an extremely low bulk density of 2.5-11.8 lbs/ft3 (40–190 kg/m3), a primary particle size of 5–50 nm (smaller than the average p

Fumed silica serves as a universal thickening agent

Fumed silica is a universal thickening agent and an anticaking agent (free-flow agent) in powders. Like silica gel, it serves as a desiccant. It is used in cosmetics for its light-diffusing properties. It is used as a light abrasive in products like toothpaste. Other uses include filler in silicone elastomer and viscosity adjustment in paints, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and unsaturated polyester resins. It is also used in producing cat litter box fillers and as a core material in produc

Dust Collection for Fumed Silica

Fumed silica is an artificial substance, so it’s no surprise that it’s known by multiple names—Diatomaceous earth, Diatomaceous silica, Diatomite, Silicon dioxide (amorphous), and Vitreous silica, at least. In fact, before 1989, its official name was silica (amorphous). Today, however, industry and regulators tend to call the substance fumed silica—not to be confused with silica fume, which is an industrial byproduct quite different from fumed silica. Fumed silica is a beneficial industrial chem

Silica Fume

Silica fume is a byproduct of the reaction between quartz and coal, coke, or wood chips and also forms in the production of silicon and ferrosilicon alloys. Silica fume is another silica-based additive used in cementitious applications. It is classified as ultrafine, with the size of spherical particles being less than 1 µm in diameter, 100 – 150 times smaller than an average cement particle. It acts as a pozzolan and filler when used in cementitious applications like concrete, repair products,

Characteristics of molybdenum disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide may cause electrochemical corrosion of metals when used in humid environments, and its performance will be affected at low temperatures and humid climates. Graphite can also be used as a solid additive, but molybdenum disulfide has a much smaller friction coefficient than graphite, so it causes less friction resistance. At high temperatures, molybdenum disulfide will oxidize to form molybdenum trioxide; it does not have lubricity. The properties of molybdenum disulfide can b

Lubricant of Molybdenum disulfide

Due to weak van der Waals interactions between the sheets of sulfide atoms, MoS2 has a low coefficient of friction. MoS2 in particle sizes of 1–100 µm is a common dry lubricant. Few alternatives exist that confer high lubricity and stability at up to 350 °C in oxidizing environments. Sliding friction tests of MoS2 using a pin-on-disc tester at low loads (0.1–2 N) give friction coefficient values of
