Hydrothermally synthesized high silica borosilicates with the MFI structure was subjected to several characterization techniques. The effect of boron on the structure and acidity of HZSM-5 catalyst were studied by XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption, solid state NMR, NH3-TPD. It was confirmed that boron had entered the framework in the boron samples. The results also revealed that strong acidity was weaken...

The complexation reactions between diacetyl monooxime (Damo), imidazole (Him), histamine (Hist) and histidine (His) with Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at 25 °C and m= 0.5 M KNO3. The overall stability constants log b's of species were obtained by computer refinement of p...

This work addresses the synthesis of titanium pyrophosphate, as well as the characterization and evaluation of the sorption process of europium, for removal of trivalent heavy metals and actinides simulate. The evaluation of the surface properties of titanium pyrophosphate was carried out determining the surface roughness and surface acidity constants. The values obtained from the determination...

Complexation reactions between methylthymol blue and Fe , A l ,Ga , 1n a nd TI ions have been studied in buffer aqueous solutions of pH 5.0 at 2S°C by a spectrophotometric technique. The conditional stepwise stability constants of the resulting 1:l and 1:2 (metal-to-ligand) complexes were determined from the absorbance-mole ratio data at three different wavelengths of the visible sp...

Coordination of two monoprotonated 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate species, H(dGMP)(-), via N7 to cis-(NH(2))(2)Pt(2+) gives the complex cis-(NH(2))(2)Pt(H.dGMP)(2) which is a four-protonic acid. The corresponding acidity constants were measured by potentiometric pH titrations (25; I = 0.1 M, NaNO(3)). The first two protons are released from the two -P(O)(2)(OH)(-) groups (PK(a/1)= 5.57; PK(...

In soils of tropical climate regions the high acidity and the presence of exchangeable aluminum (Al), associated to low fertility, are the main restrainting factors for agricultural production. A laboratory experiment was conducted using 26 soils of different Brazilian regions, to investigate soil acidity components, giving emphasis to Al and their relations with chemical properties. The pH cor...

Copper, cadmium, and phthalic acid (H2Lp) adsorption by ferrihydrite was examined for binary and ternary systems. In binary systems adsorption was well reproduced using the diffuse layer model (DLM), and H2Lp adsorption was analogous to that of inorganic diprotic acids in terms of the relationship between the adsorption constants and acidity constants. In ternary systems H2Lp caused both the en...

Three samples of hydrous chromium(III) oxide have been prepared by different procedures, and their electrokinetic mobilities have been measured. In mineral media, isoelectric points were found to be 8.45 0.15. This value is shifted from the solution isoelectric point by –0.35 0.15, due to the contribution of solvation energy to the energy of ionic adsorption. On the basis of a simple model, it ...

The determination of formation constants of binary inner transition metal complexes where M=Y(III) or La(III) or Ce(III) or Pr(III) or Nd(III) or Sm (III) or Gd (III) or Dy (III) or Th(IV) andL = Creatinine have been carried out using Irving–Rossotti titration technique in aqueous mediaat different temperatures and at ionic strength. To understand more about the nature ofequilibrium involving i...
