How is silicic acid transported in plants? [PDF]
Plants accumulate silicon in their tissues as amorphous silica. The form of silicon taken up by plants is silicic acid, a neutral molecule that passes through membrane channels with water.

Selective removal of silicic acid by a gallic-acid modified resin
To remove silicic acid from aqueous solutions, a novel gallic acid-type resin (GA-type resin) was prepared by a grafting method. The effects of the adsorption capacity, pH and presence of NaCl, NaNO3, Na2SO4, and NaCO3 salts on the silicic acid removal ...

Biogenic silica production and diatom dynamics in the Svalbard region during spring [PDF]
Diatoms are generally the dominant contributors to the Arctic Ocean spring bloom, which is a key event in regional food webs in terms of capacity for secondary production and organic matter export.

Synthesis of mesoporous silica from geothermal water
Mesoporous silica was successfully synthesized for the first time using geothermal water from the Onuma Geothermal Power Plant, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as an organic template for the synthesis.

Macro-nutrient concentrations in Antarctic pack ice: Overall patterns and overlooked processes
Antarctic pack ice is inhabited by a diverse and active microbial community reliant on nutrients for growth. Seeking patterns and overlooked processes, we performed a large-scale compilation of macro-nutrient data (hereafter termed nutrients) in ...

Preparation and Characterization of Colloidal Silica in Alkaline and Constant Range of pH [PDF]
In this study, alkaline colloidal silica was prepared by titration of an alkaline solution such as sodium silicate with silicic acid in constant range of pH .This constant range of pH was achieved by using concentrated soduim silicate solutions as pH ...

The effect of Silicon on the organically grown iceberg lettuce growth and quality
Si helps plants to mitigate with abiotic and biotic stresses because of Si-treated plants become stronger, sturdier and naturally more tolerant. The purpose of the investigations was to look the effect of Silicon on the iceberg lettuce growth and quality.

Direct evidence of the molecular basis for biological silicon transport
Diatoms sheath themselves in a self-made casing of silica, which requires the function of silicic acid transporters. Here, the authors identify versions of these transporters that are experimentally tractable, and develop a fluorescence method to study ...
