The immobilization of potassium sorbate, potassium aspartate and sorbic acid in layered double hydroxide under solid condition was examined. By simply mixing two solids, immobilization of sorbate and aspartate in the interlayer space of nitrate-type layered double hydroxide, so called intercalation reaction, was achieved, and the uptakes, that is, the amount of immobilized salts and the interla...

a set of multicomponent perovskite oxide nanoparticles based on la1-xsrxco1-yfeyo3-δ(lscf) were prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method for application in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (lt-sofc) as cathode materials.  the precursor materials used in this synthesis were lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate [la(no3)3.6h2o], strontium nitrate [sr(no3)2], cobalt nitrate hexahydrate [co...

two n4-type schiff base ligands named n,n'-bis(2-pyridylmethylidene)-1,2-diiminoethane (l1) and n,n'-bis(2-pyridylmethylidene)-1,3-diiminopropane (l2) have been synthesized by the reaction of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde with ethylenediamine and propylenediamine, respectively. the binding abilities of l1 and l2 in dichloromethane towards cu2+, cd2+, co2+, ni2+, zn2+ and pb2+ ions were evaluated by p...

Complexation between hexavalent neptunium and nitrate was studied in aqueous nitric acid solution using optical absorption, vibrational and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. Distributions of aqueous [NpO2](2+), [NpO2(NO3)](+) and [NpO2(NO3)2] species were obtained as a function of nitric acid concentration between 0 and 14 M. The crystal structure of [NpO2(NO3)2(H2O)2]·H2O was determined.

the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of microalgae spirulina platensis and chlorella vulgaris to remove nitrate and phosphate in aqueous solutions. spirulina platensis and chlorella vulgar is microalgae was collected in 1000 ml of municipal water and kno3, k2hpo4 was added as sources of nitrate and phosphate in three different concentrations (0.25, 0.35 and 0.45g/l). during the gro...

Nitrate contamination of water resources and the growing concentration of nitrate endanger human health and the environment and considering its reduction strategies from water resources is important. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of removal of nitrate from aqueous solutions using granular activated carbon from grape wood coated with iron nanoparticles. The results sho...

This study was conducted to investigate organoclay prepared using montmorillonite clay with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and a long-chain organic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide for the removal of nitrate ion from aqueous solutions. Adsorbents were evaluated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR),...
