the application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of pb and pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. effects of various parameters such as ph, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...

During reductive heat-treatment of bismuth borosilicate glass with palladium and selenium, palladium is extracted along with bismuth as a liquid metal phase. Selenium may then be extracted from the oxide phase in a subsequent water-leaching step. However, selenium extraction can be hindered by partial transfer of the selenium to the metal. To suppress such selenium transport, the effect of vary...

Over the past year we have been able to demonstrate that a plasma loading method produces an exciting and unexpected amount of tritium from small palladium wires. In contrast to electrochemical hydrogen or deuterium loading of palladium, this method yields a reproducible tritium generation rate when various electrical and physical conditions are met. Small diameter wires (100 250 microns) have ...

This report describes the preparation and characterization of palladium nanoshells protected with alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and their application as efficient catalysts. Monodispersed silica core particles (y100 nm in diameter) were prepared and coated with a thin layer of palladium (y20 nm in thickness). Subsequently, the palladium nanoshells were treated with two separate a...

Nanoparticles of palladium-doped cerium oxide (Pd–CeO2) have been prepared by aqueous co-precipitation resulting in a single phase cubic structure after calcination according to X-ray diffraction (XRD). Inhomogeneous strain, calculated using the Williamson–Hall method, was found to increase with palladium content, and the lattice contracts slightly, relative to nano-cerium oxide, as palladium c...

Low palladium content in the hybrid bimetallic copper-palladium zeolite catalysts is beneficial for dimethyl ether production from CO 2 .

A 50-year-old previously healthy non-smoking laboratory technician, who had worked in catalyst research for 26 years, presented with recurrent urticaria on the hands and the face, and watery rhinitis associated with handling palladium salts at work. When exposed to fine dusts of dried and powdered mixtures containing the palladium nitrate salts Pd(NH3)4(NO3)2 and Pd(NO3)2, she immediately devel...

Well-defined and efficient POCN-ligated palladium complexes have been developed for the direct C-H bond arylation of azoles with aryl iodides. The phosphinite-amine pincer ligands 1-(R2PO)-C6H4-3-(CH2N(i)Pr2) [(R2)POCN(iPr2)-H; R = (i)Pr (), R = (t)Bu ()] and corresponding palladium complexes {2-(R2PO)-C6H3-6-(CH2N(i)Pr2)}PdCl [((R2)POCN(iPr2))PdCl; R = (i)Pr (), R = (t)Bu ()] were synthesized ...

We report about the mechanistic studies of the reaction between a newly synthesized (S)-2-((R)-3H-dinaphtho[2,1-c:1',2'-e]azepin-4(5H)-yl)-2-phenylethanol based on the binaphthyl skeleton and (E)-2-methyl-5-phenylpent-2-enoic acid for the asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated acids with heterogeneous palladium catalysts. The specific interactions between the chiral ligand and reactant wer...

Aryl N-aminosulfonamides could be easily produced via a palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides, potassium metabisulfite, and hydrazines. Potassium metabisulfite is an excellent equivalent of sulfur dioxide in the reaction of palladium-catalyzed aminosulfonylation.
