Superparamagnetic single phase zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared by coprecipitation method at 20 °C without any subsequent calcination. The composition, crystallite size, microstructure and magnetic properties of the prepared nanoparticles were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM)...

To be fairly general and catalyst is easily separated by magnetic devices and can be reused without any apparent loss of activity for the reaction. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method and was found to be a mild and effective catalyst for the efficient, one-pot, three-component synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles at room temperature under ultrasound irra...

Occupational asthma from nickel sensitivity was confirmed in a male worker (SB) by allergy skin tests and inhalational challenge. In an ammonium sulphate coprecipitation test 63Ni was selectively precipitated from SB plasma indicating antibody with nickel related specificity. Preincubation of 63Ni with human serum albumin (HSA) increased the specificity of the coprecipitation test. Blocking exp...

Serum from an individual with occupational asthma from nickel sulphate inhalation was shown by ammonium sulphate (Farr) and anti-IgG coprecipitation tests to contain antibodies which bind 63Ni2+. This binding was absent from 30 control sera. Ligand competition studies with serum and plasma from the propositus and controls are described, and include serial additions of HSA, L-histidine, EDTA, an...
