Received: 20 September 2014 Received in revised form: 20 October 2014 Accepted: 25 October 2014 Published online: 31 March 2015 Printed: 31 March 2015 Segregation of antimony trioxide (ATO) from back‐coated textiles was studied for two types of textile samples: A (ATO‐Hexabromocyclododecane) and B (ATO‐Decabromodiphenyl ether). Samples A was found to lose 5.3, 12, 28 and 39 %wt:wt of the amount...

  Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for lymph node staging in intermediate thickness melanoma. In Iran, this procedure has not been addressed sufficiently. In this study, we report our experience in this area. Methods: Ten consecutive patients with intermediate thickness melanoma where included in our study. 1.5 mCi of Tc-99m antimony...

introduction: in the current study, we evaluated the feasibility of body outlining using tc-99m filled flood source for lymphoscintigraphy imaging. methods: 80 patients were included in the study. sentinel node mapping was done using tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid. for outlining the body a tc-99m filled flood source was used which was placed behind or lateral to the patients for anterior and ...

Hybrid organic-inorganic solar absorbers are currently the subject of intense interest; however, the highest-performing materials contain Pb. Here we assess the potential of three Sb-based semiconductors: (i) Sb2S3, (ii) Cs2Sb8S13, and (iii) (CH3NH3)2Sb8S13. While the crystal structure of Sb2S3 is composed of 1D chains, 2D layers are formed in the ternary cesium and hybrid methylammonium antimo...

The recycling of steel scrap is becoming more and developed to save resources protect the environment. However, impurities such as antimony in cannot be economically effectively removed, resulting an inevitable accumulation impurities. Once impurity concentration exceeds a certain limit, they will have great impact on ductility deterioration hot shortness steel. It has been shown that sulfide c...

Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) has gained extensive attention in solar cells due to their potential as a low-cost and earth abundant absorber material. In solar cell absorber, the optoelectrical properties such as energy band gap and absorption coefficient of Sb2S3 play an important role, which have strong relationships with their crystal structure, lattice parameter and crystallite size. Hence in th...

After intraventricular injection of 99mTc antimony sulfide in rabbits (n = 12) and cats (n = 14), radiolabeled colloid was imaged passing into the nasal mucosa and subsequently into the cervical lymph nodes. The cervical lymph nodes accounted for about 12% of the injected dose in rabbits sacrificed at 22-24 hr after injection and about 5% of the injected dose in cats sacrificed at 5-6 hr after ...

A new chemical deposition method has been developed to prepare photoconducting n-Sb2S3 thin polycrystalline films. The solution composition of the deposition bath was 0.025M potassium antimonyl tartarate, 0.4M triethanolamine, 0.025M thioacetamide, and 5 • 10-7M silicotungstic acid (STA), respectively. The as-deposited and the annealed films were characterized through x-ray diffraction, neutron...
