I . The oral administration of sodium molybdate caused a rapid rise of molybdenum in the milk of cows and goats fed on a low-molybdenum diet, but did not affect the xanthine oxidase activities of the milk of either species. 2. In the milks of cows not dosed with sodium molybdate, the regression of the xanthine oxidase activity ( y ) on the molybdenum content (x) was found to be (r = +0.9386; P ...

There are many molybdenum-containing enzymes distributed throughout the biosphere. The availability of molybdenum to biological systems is due to the high water solubility of oxidized forms of the metal. Molybdenum enzymes can be grouped on the basis of the structure of the metal centre. Three principal families of enzyme exist, with active sites consisting of (ppt)MoOS(OH) (the molybdenum hydr...

Supported molybdenum carbide (yMo2C/M41) and Cu-promoted molybdenum carbide, using a mechanical mixing and co-impregnation method (xCuyMo2C/M41-M and xCuyMo2C/M41-I) on a mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41, were prepared by temperature-programmed carburization method in a CO/H2 atmosphere at 1073 K, and their catalytic performances were tested for CO2 hydrogenation to form methanol. Both catalys...

BACKGROUND The importance of molybdenum for plant growth is disproportionate with respect to the absolute amounts required by most plants. Apart from Cu, Mo is the least abundant essential micronutrient found in most plant tissues and is often set as the base from which all other nutrients are compared and measured. Molybdenum is utilized by selected enzymes to carry out redox reactions. Enzyme...

Introduction EPR was the first spectroscopic method other than UV/visible spectroscopy to be applied systematically to investigations of the structure and functioning of metalloenzymes. The first such EPR studies of xanthine oxidase were reported in 1959 [l]. Since one reduced state of each of the four redox-active centres in the molecule is EPRactive, there is obviously considerable potential ...

Acetophenone 2’,4’-dihydroxy semicarbazone (A24DHS) as a photometric reagent for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of Molybdenum (VI) is presented in this paper. The reagent A24DHS gave instantaneous and stable yellow colour with Molybdenum (VI) in the pH range 1.6 to 2.4. The system obeys Beer’s law in the concentration range of 1.0 μg/mL to 8.0 μg/mL at 370 nm. The Limit of Dete...

fio = atomic transition oscillator strength g = linewidth distribution function, sec We have demonstrated the use of laser-induced flug = energy-averaged Gaunt factor orescence (LIF) to monitor the charge-exchange ion 9i = degeneracy for atomic level i erosion of the molybdenum accelerator electrode in h = Planck's constant, J sec ion thrusters. This real-time, nonintrusive method h = Planck's ...

A novel preparing method of polymer-coated molybdenum powder was presented. A type of multi-component polymer-coated molybdenum powder was chosen for selective laser sintering. The effect of the process parameters on the part’s characteristics is investigated. Based on our study for dynamic laser sintering process of polymer-coated molybdenum powder, its laser sintering mechanism was reported a...

A new spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of molybdenum using surfactantmediated liquid–liquid extraction. Molybdenum(V) obtained by ascorbic acid reduction in 2.5 M H2SO4 reacted spontaneously with thiocyanate and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), forming an intense orange yellow complex that was extracted quantitatively into 1,2-dichloroethane and absorbed at...
