anions. In the case of chloride and chloride and nitrate baths, it may be observed that only 40-60% of deposited copper is oxidized in the reverse potential sweep; these low charge recoveries are due to an disproportionation stage: the newly deposited copper reacts with the Cu~II! present in the reaction layer to form Cu~I!. For baths containing only nitrates, the efficacy of charge recovery is...

14 The removal of the trace inorganic contaminants boron (B(OH)4 ), fluoride (F ) and nitrate (NO3 ) 15 from synthetic aqueous solutions containing organic matter using electrodialysis was investigated. 16 The transport of the contaminants through the ion-exchange membranes was evaluated in relation 17 to hydrated ionic radius, whereby a positive correlation was found in absence of organic matt...

in order to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and copper on yield and nutrients concentrations and nitrate in broccoli head, an experiment was conducted based on a factorial combinations of five levels of nitrogen (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg/ha) and three levels of copper (0, 2.5 and 5 kg/ha) that were applied to soil as ammonium sulfate and copper sulfate respectively, in three...

A synthetic growth medium was purified with the chelator 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone to study the effects of copper on partial reactions and product formation of nitrite respiration in Pseudomonas perfectomarinus. This organism grew anaerobically in a copper-deficient medium with nitrate or nitrite as the terminal electron acceptor. Copper-deficient cells had high activity for reduction of nitrat...

Vivid blue inclusions in white whewellite or weddellite, occurring within the medulla of four lichen species growing on copper-bearing rocks, have been identified as the hydrated copper oxalate, moolooite, CUC204. nH20 (n ~ 0.4-0.7), by infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. The mineral is believed to have been formed by reaction between oxalic acid secreted by the lichen and groun...

The synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of copper(II) nitrate, copper(I) iodide and zinc(II) bromide complexes of the chiral ligand 2 are described.

CuZnO (CZO) films have received considerable attention, owing to their potential applications in semiconductor devices, including gas sensors or solar cells. However, exactly how these films affect the properties of CZO films by using different Cu sources has seldom been investigated. This study demonstrates the feasibility of preparing CZO films by using different Cu sources via a simple ultra...

Nitrate and nitrite ions were found to be successfully electroreduced at an in situ electrochemically pretreated copper electrode in acidic media, and their reduction peaks of a cyclic voltammogram were found at two distinct electrode potentials. Cyclic voltammetric experiments revealed a highly sensitive behavior of the pretreated copper electrode upon the electroreduction of nitrate and nitri...

The presence of either copper(I) or copper(II) chloride in the polyol reduction of silver nitrate facilitates the production of silver nanowires. Silver nanowires have applications in many areas, including electronics and catalysis. These wires are produced quickly (in approximately one hour), with the synthesis being easily performed in disposable glass vials, using only pipettes to deliver re...
