Lanthanum in Water, Sediment, Macrophytes and chironomid larvae following application of Lanthanum modified bentonite to lake Rauwbraken (The Netherlands)

Aquatic ecotoxicity of lanthanum - A review and an attempt to derive water and sediment quality criteria.

Rare earth elements (REE) used to be taken as tracers of geological origin for fluvial transport. Nowadays their increased applications in innovative environmental-friendly technology (e.g. in catalysts, superconductors, lasers, batteries) and medical applications (e.g. MRI contrast agent) lead to man-made, elevated levels in the environment. So far, no regulatory thresholds for REE concentrati...

Effects of lanthanum and lanthanum-modified clay on growth, survival and reproduction of Daphnia magna.

The novel lanthanum-modified clay water treatment technology (Phoslock seems very promising in remediation of eutrophied waters. Phoslock is highly efficient in stripping dissolved phosphorous from the water column and in intercepting phosphorous released from the sediments. The active phosphorous-sorbent in Phoslock is the Rare Earth Element lanthanum. A leachate experiment revealed that lanth...

Thermal stabilization of alumina modified by lanthanum

Transition alumina, with different La loadings, were synthesized from boehmite (AlOOH) hydrosols containing a PEO/PPO/PEO triblock copolymer (Pluronics P123) and lanthanum nitrate. After calcination at 500 °C, the xerogels prepared from these sols have large specific surface area ( 400 m/g) and very large porous volumes, increasing with the amount of La to reach 2.5 cm/g for La/(La + Al) = 0.03...

the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...
