An acidic aqueous biphasic system (AcABS) presenting a desired and reversible phase transition with HNO3 concentration temperature was developed herein as an integrated platform for metal separation. The simple, economical, fully incinerable (C,H,O,N) AcABS composed of tetrabutylammonium nitrate ([N4444][NO3])+HNO3+H2O characterized presented excellent selectivity towards CeIV against other rar...

Mixed oxides MexCo3−xO4 (Me: Ni or Mg, x = 0–0.9) with a spinel structure were synthesized by precipitation from Me, Co nitrate solutions using (NH4)2CO3 as the precipitating agent subsequent modification of dry precipitate cesium Pechini method and calcination. The samples studied XRD, TPR, TPD methods. Their catalytic activity was in low-temperature (150–350 °C) nitrous oxide decomposition pr...

The title compound, [Ni(C(12)H(8)N(2))(3)](2)[Ag(CN)(2)](3)(NO(3))·4.2H(2)O, crystallizes with two independent [Ni(phen)(3)](2+) cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline; both Ni atoms have threefold symmetry and N(6) donor sets), three near-linear [Ag(CN)(2)](-) anions, one nitrate anion (N site symmetry 3) and 4.2 water mol-ecules of crystallization, some of which are disordered. The [Ag(CN)(2)](...

In the title half-sandwich compound, [Ni(C(6)H(15)N(3))(H(2)O)(3)]Br(NO(3)), the central Ni(II) ion, lying on a threefold rotation axis, is six-coordinated by three amine N atoms from the face-capping triaza macrocycle and three water O atoms in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and weak O-H⋯Br inter-actions associate the Ni(II) cations and the co...

An investigation was carried out to study the feasibility of using 5% nickel/alumina catalysts synthesized with different methods and metal precursors for hydrogenation tetralin. The were characterized atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hydrogen chemisorption, surface area pore volume analyses. tested in a cont...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Nickel is one of the most prevalent causes of contact allergy in the general population. This study focuses on human exposure to airborne nickel and its potential to induce allergic sensitization. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of 309 children at school-starter age living in the West of Germany in the vicinity of two industrial sources and in a rural ...

Nickel acquisition is necessary for urease activity, a major virulence factor of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. NixA was identified as a specific nickel uptake system in this organism. Addition of small amounts of nickel to media strongly stimulates urea hydrolysis. On the other hand, high nickel concentrations are deleterious to cell growth. As a possible protective reaction, ...

This study was designed to determine the toxic effects of nickel sulfate on the biochemical and elemental profile of liver in protein deficient rats. Nickel sulfate in the dose of 800mg/l in drinking water was administrated to Sprauge Dawley (S.D) normal control as well as protein deficient rats for a total duration of eight weeks. The effects of nickel treatment and protein deficiency when giv...

INTRODUCTION Contact with nickel-releasing coins as a cause of hand dermatitis has been debated. AIM Studying a hand dermatitis risk from handling Kuwaiti cupronickel coins among nickel-allergic and nickel non-allergic subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred hand dermatitis patients (group I: nickel-allergic) and 100 matched patients (group II: nickel non-allergic) were selected from ove...

Nickel has been shown to be an essential trace element involved in the metabolism of several species of bacteria, archea, and plants. In these organisms, nickel is involved in enzymes that catalyze both non-redox (e.g., urease, glyoxalase I) and redox (e.g., hydrogenase, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase) reactions, and proteins involved in the transport, storage, metallocente...
