Permanganate-Based Synthesis of Semiconducting Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in the Protein Ferritin Cameron Olsen Department of Physics and Astronomy, BYU Bachelor of Science This thesis investigates the reactions of Mn2+ and Co2+ with permanganate as a route for manganese and cobalt oxide nanoparticle synthesis in the protein ferritin. Permanganate serves as the electron acceptor and reacts with ...

The preparation of nanostructure type manganese oxide and cobalt oxide materials with the smallest particle size is reported here. The nanorod manganese oxide and cobalt oxide nanotube were prepared via a sol-gel reaction in reverse micelles from KMnO4 and CoCl2 with respectively source at room-temperature. The structure and surface morphology of the obtained manganese oxide were studied by mea...

Nano oxides of Manganese Nickel and Cobalt Nickel were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation method from the reaction of respective metal sulfides of manganese, nickel, cobalt and sodium carbonate using ethylene diamene tetra acetic acid as an effective capping agent. The carbonate precursors were heated at different temperatures so as to form their oxides. Through the X-ray line broadening t...

A mixture of manganese, cobalt and lead para-amino benzoates supported on silica gel is used to catalyze oxidation of xylenes to toluic acids in presence of oxygen or air. Reactions are clean and catalysts can be recovered easily and reused.

It is important to establish an appropriate transporting machine on the seafloor for deep ocean mining of cobalt-rich manganese crusts, as the physiognomy of cobalt-rich manganese crusts is complex and often varies. In view of the complexity of terrain of cobalt-rich manganese crusts and huge weight that need to be supported during ocean mining, a project of the six−legged walking robot driven ...

This paper reports on the recovery of zinc, cobalt and manganese by two-step leaching of zinc-plants purification residue with sulfuric acid. The residue, hot filter press cake (HFC), contains 14 % ZnO, 4.8 % Co3O4 and 22.9 % MnO. Effects of different parameters are determined and used to optimize the process. With acid to hot filter press cake (HFC) stoichiometry of 0.85, acid concentration of...

Electrodeposited zinc alloys have long been recognised as effective barrier and sacrificial coatings for ferrous substrates. The effect of alloying zinc with, in the main, more noble metals, has produced finishes of higher corrosion resistance than simply electrodeposited zinc. In this manner zinc alloys such as zinc-nickel, zinc-cobalt and zinc-iron are routinely electrodeposited on an industr...

We investigated the preparation of CMB (cobalt-manganese-bromide) and CMA (cobaltmanganese-acetate) liquid catalysts as petroleum liquid catalysts by simultaneously recovering Co and Mn from spent Li-ion battery cathode material. To prepare the liquid catalysts, the total preparation process for the liquid catalysts consisted of physical pre-treatments, such as grinding and sieving, and chemica...

The normal structure of the intestine of the goldfish is described, with special attention to the character of the mucosal epithelium. The rate of epithelial replacement has been determined by the use of colchicine, and found to vary between 6 days for the upper intestine and 9 days for the lower parts. The colchicine data have also been used to determine the duration of a normal mitosis, which...

Thirty-eight metal salts were tested for their capacity to enhance transformation of Syrian hamster embryo cells by a simian adenovirus, SA7. All of the metal salts with known carcinogenic potential in animals or mutagenic activity in microbial or mammalian cells increased the SA7 transformation frequency. Metals were classified into three groups according to the concentration necessary to prod...
