Like our teeth, placoid scales have an inner core of pulp (made up of connective tissues, blood vessels, and nerves), which is covered by a layer of dentine (hard calcareous material). This dentine is covered by enamel-like vitrodentine.Scales in bony fish grow as the fish gets larger, but placoid scales stop growing after they reach a certain size, and then more scales are added as the fish grows.his dentine is covered by enamel-like vitrodentine.

Wet air oxidation is a promising technology for the treatment of refractory organic pollutants in the effluent from various industries in view of high pollutant removal efficiency at mild conditions and environmental friendliness not involving any harmful chemical reagent.
By Travis Brand. Wastewater treatment often consists of removing heavy metals and/or organic compounds from effluent streams. pH adjustment by addition of acidic/basic chemicals is an important part of any wastewater treatment system as it allows dissolved waste to be separated from water during the treatment process. By chemically adjusting the pH we can remove heavy metals and other toxic metals from water.
