The activation of scheelite and wolframite by lead nitrate with benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) as collector was investigated by means of micro flotation test, zeta potential measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The flotation results confirmed that the addition of lead nitrate can markedly enhance the recovery of scheelite and ...

it is very important to determine the stable nitrogen isotope ratio for the nitrogenous substances in aerosols and the geochemistry behavior of stable nitrate ion isotopes in aerosols in order to elucidate the chemical and physical functions of clouds. hence, aerosol field sampling was conducted in the skies offshore from malibu beach and santa barbara, california, u.s.a. on 16 and 18 july 200...

the field of nanobiotechnology mainly encompasses with physics, biology, chemistry and material sciences and it develops novel therapeutic nano-scale materials for biomedical, drug delivery, cancer therapy and pharmaceutical applications. silver nanoparticles (agnps) have unique physiochemical, biological and environmental properties which make them useful in a wide range of applications, so ag...

The Zn-Cu battery is plagued with both the problems of Cu2+ migration into the anodic chamber as well as the problem of shape change of zinc electrodes, where both of these processes together have historically prevented this type of battery technology from being rechargeable. We herein propose using a monovalent selective cation exchange membrane (CIEM) that through X-ray diffraction experiment...

The reaction of 1,4-bis-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene (bib) with silver(I) nitrate in a 1:1 molar ratio generates the metallacyclic title complex, [Ag(2)(C(12)H(14)N(4))(2)](NO(3))(2)·2H(2)O, in which the bib ligand displays a cis configuration. Each bib ligand acts as a bidentate bridging ligand connecting a pair of Ag(I) ions to form a [2 + 2] metallamacrocycle in which the Ag⋯Ag dist...

The photooxidation of cellulose acetate by uranyl nitrate in acetone solutions has been investigated. Studies of the effect of the polymer on the uranyl luminescence showed an initial increase in intensity, followed by quenching. This is interpreted in terms of competition between complexation of uranyl ions by the polymer and dynamic quenching. In the quenching region, Stern-Volmer kinetics ar...

BACKGROUND Reductive precipitation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) with magnetite is a well-known Cr(VI) remediation method to improve water quality. The rapid (<a few hr) reduction of soluble Cr(VI) to insoluble Cr(III) species by Fe(II) in magnetite has been the primary focus of the Cr(VI) removal process in the past. However, the contribution of simultaneous Cr(VI) adsorption processes in ag...

using the evaporating method, the solubility of potassium nitrate was determined in various mixtures containing water and ethanol at 25°c. the results show that the solubility of kno3 decreases with increasing the mass percent of ethanol in the mixtures. this trend is along with decreasing the dielectric constant of water+ethanol mixtures. moreover, it can be concluded that the totqal solubilit...

In the title binuclear complex, [Cu2(NO3)3(C18H16N6Se)(H2O)3]NO3·H2O, the Cu(II) ions are penta-coordinated in a tetra-gonal-pyramidal geometry. In both cases, the equatorial planes are formed by a chelating pyrazole-pyridine group, a water mol-ecule and a nitrate O atom, whereas the apical positions are occupied by a water mol-ecule for one Cu(II) ion and a nitrate O atom for the other. The or...

A bipolarly flagellated magnetotactic spirillum containing intracellular chains of single domain-sized magnetite crystals was isolated by applying a magnetic field to sediments from a freshwater swamp. The organism was cultured in a chemically defined medium containing ferric quinate and succinate as sources of iron and carbon, respectively. Nonmagnetic variants of this isolate were maintained ...
