The adsorption of a monolayer of V on idealized Feand oxygen-terminated hematite (0001) surfaces and subsequent oxidation under atomic O adsorption are studied by density functional theory. Theoretical results are compared with X-ray surface standing wave and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements, and interpreted in the light of data on sub-monolayer coverages. Near-surface Fe reductio...
A \(Q\)-polynomial Shilla graph with \(b = 5\) has intersection arrays \(\{105t,4(21t+1),16(t+1); 1,4 (t+1),84t\}\), \(t\in\{3,4,19\}\). The paper proves that distance-regular graphs these do not exist. Moreover, feasible of 6\) are found.
In several cases ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) proved to be an efficient mobilising amendment during chemically enhanced phytoextraction of heavy metals. The presence of Fe-(hydr)oxides and their dissolution after the addition of EDTA can limit the phytoextraction of the targeted heavy metals due to the high stability of the formed Fe(III)EDTA complexes. This study has focused on the i...
