In the present study, a hydro-refining spent catalyst with an alumina base has been taken into consideration. It is mostly used for the recovery of molybdenum. The spent catalyst constitutes around 21 pct of molybdenum as molybdenum oxide. The study has revealed that at temperature lower than 600C, it is possible to recover an appreciable quantity of molybdenum from the spent catalyst. The stat...

Oxo-sulfido- and oxo-selenido-molybdenum(VI) complexes with an ene-1,2-dithiolate ligand are generated as models of the active sites of molybdenum hydroxylases. The sulfide and selenide groups are highly reactive toward triphenylphosphine in the order of Se > S.

One-, two- and three-dimensional nanostructures of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide were successfully constructed by a simple approach through a pH-dependent dimensional transformation of ammonium copper molybdate. Thin nanoplates of copper molybdate, which were obtained by sintering the two-dimensional nanobelts of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide, exhibited remarkably high reversible lithiu...

background: in recent years, nanoparticles have been increasingly used in industries. however, there is a serious lack of information concerning their impact on human health and the environment. this study was investigated the effect of moo3 nps on thyroid hormones in female rats. methods: in this study, 21 female wistar rats were selected and divided into three groups of untreated control, sha...

the voltammetric characteristics of mo (vi) oxinate at the mercury electrode, in the presence of tri-butylammonium perchlorate (tri-bap) and piperidinium perchlorate (pp) + piperidine (p) as  two different types supporting electrolytes, have been studied in chloroform. with the both supporting electrolytes a two electron irreversible process for the reduction  of mo (vi) oxinate was observed. p...

The preliminary findings that molybdenlum, in minute amounts, improved the growth of barley plants in a culture solution supplied with ammonium salts as the sole source of nitrogen (1), and that a group of seven heavy metals including molybdenum increased the growth of lettuce and asparagus (2), supported the view that the list of essential elements for higher plants is incomplete and suggested...

Unlike molybdenum-oxo corroles, molybdenum-dichlorido Viking helmet corroles are noninnocent, with substantial corrole radical character.

The molybdenum enzymes sulfite oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase have been investigated by fluorescence-detected EXAFS using synchrotron radiation, and the results have been interpreted with improved EXAFS analysis procedures. A new treatment of EXAFS amplitudes has been developed which allows the extraction of meaningful Debye-Waller factors using experimentally derived functions. A search pr...

Molybdenum is an essential element in plants and animals as a cofactor for enzymes. Molybdenum trioxide is used in metallurgical processes, in cosmetics as a pigment, and in contact lens solution, yet limited information is available on molybdenum genotoxicity. In the present study the micronucleus (MN) assay in human lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow and the dominant lethal assay in mice were ...
