Quantitative chemical analysis based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) includes elemental identification and, in many cases, quantification of the chemical states of active surface atoms. The two main parts of the analysis are subtracting the inelastic background and fitting a synthetic lineshape to the data. The analysis of transition metal oxides is typically based on their core level...

Chromium exerts serious damage to human beings and aquatic life is one of the most common environmental contaminant possess toxicity when present above threshold limits. In comparison with traditional quantification methods such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, UV-Vis or high-performance liquid chromatography, electrochemical towards monitor...

The effects of time, composition and history of preparation of the aqueous phase on the liquidliquid extraction of chromium(III) with Aliquat 336 from the aqueous alkaline solutions containing chlorides were studied. At time far from the equilibrium the yield and initial rate of the chromium(III) extraction depend on NaOH concentration, ionic strength of the aqueous phase and the way of its pre...

Novel adsorbents are described for the preconcentration of chromium(VI). Graphene oxide (GO) was modified with various amino silanes containing one, two, or three nitrogen atoms in the molecule. These include 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)ethylenediamine (TMSPEDA), and N1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)diethylenetriamine (TMSPDETA). The resulting GO derivatives were...

Chromium oxide (α-Cr2O3) thin films were prepared using thermal annealing of chromium (Cr)films deposited on quartz substrates by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The annealingprocess of the films was performed for different times of 60, 120,180 and 240 min. The influenceof annealing time on structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared films wasinvestigated by diffe...

A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of chromium(VI) is described. Chromium(VI) forms chlorochromate anion in the presence of acid and chloride ion. The formed anion is extracted in toluene as ion-pair with a cationic dye rhodamine 6G. At 535 nlll absorption maximum molar absorptivity is 2x104 I mol-I em-I. The colour is stable for 4 h and the system obey...

Toxic heavy-metal pollution represents one of the most pressing environmental challenges that humankind faces today. The conventional approaches for removing highly toxic and carcinogenic heavy metals are currently unsuitable practical applications. reduction harmful metals, such as hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) into less trivalent Cr(III), has been gaining considerable interest. In response to ...

the goal of this experiment was to investigating of effects of different levels of nano chromium (n-cr) in diet on egg quality and blood chromium content of japanese quail. two hundred and forty laying japanese quail (45 day old) were randomly distributed to 20 experimental unit with 12 birds in cage pens of 40 × 80 cm. experimental treatments include: 1) control national research council (nrc,...
