EDXRF Analysis of Some Fungal Species for the Uptake Capacity of 28Ni, 48Cd, and 82Pb Metal Ions From Aqueous Solution

Abstract

We address the problem of the origin of heavier and super heavy elements in nature. Believing rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is responsible for synthesis of heavy and super heavy elements in the remnants of supernovae explosions and neutron star crusts under extreme conditions, we developed a computer code in order to understand the formation of elements in extreme astrophysical systems. We carried out Nuclear Statistical equilibrium (NSe) as well as static r-process calculations for a wide range of input parameters.
