The principal building units in the crystal structure of ammonium aqua-bis(sulfato)-lanthanate(III) are slightly distorted SO4 tetra-hedra, LaO9 polyhedra in the form of distorted tricapped trigonal prisms, and NH4 (+) ions. The La(3+) cation is coordinated by eight O atoms from six different sulfate tetra-hedra, two of which are bidentate coordinating and four monodentate, as well as one O ato...

To explore the contributions of chemical components in particulate matter Lhasa, size distribution characteristics components, such as carbonaceous species (organic carbon, OC; elemental EC), water-soluble ions (NH4+, Cl−, SO42−, and NO3−) trace elements (Na, Ca, Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, K, Mg, Pb), were investigated from August 2018 to May 2019. Principal component analysis (PCA) was...

The G2, G3, CBS-QB3, and CBS-APNO model chemistry methods and the B3LYP, B3P86, mPW1PW, and PBE1PBE density functional theory (DFT) methods have been used to calculate deltaH(o) and deltaG(o) values for ionic clusters of the ammonium ion complexed with water and ammonia. Results for the clusters NH4(+) (NH3)n and NH4(+) (H2O)n, where n = 1-4, are reported in this paper and compared against expe...

The formation of inorganic fine particulate matter (i.e., iPM2.5) is controlled by the thermodynamic equilibrium partitioning NH3-NH4+. To develop effective control strategies PM2.5, we aim to understand impacts changes in different precursor gases on iPM2.5 concentrations and NH3-NH4+ southeastern U.S., responses four seasons were investigated using field measurements iPM2.5, gases, meteorolog...

From the knowledge of the spin correlation functions derived from Mössbauer relaxation spectra of quasi-one-dimensional A2Mn0.98Fe0.02F5(H2O) we could fit the antiferromagnetic susceptibilities of A2MnF5(H2O) with A=Na, (NH4), K, Rb obtained for single crystal samples. The calculation yielded characteristic parameters such as the local anisotropy D, the intra-chain exchange energy J, the inter-...

The number of magnetoelectric multiferroic materials reported to date is scarce, as magnetic structures that break inversion symmetry and induce an improper ferroelectric polarization typically arise through subtle competition between different magnetic interactions. The (NH4)2[FeCl5(H2O)] compound is a rare case where such improper ferroelectricity has been observed in a molecular material. We...

The biofloculant production potential of a consortium of Streptomyces and Brachybacterium species were evaluated. Optimum bioflocculant yields (g/L) and flocculation activities (%) were observed for the following preferred nutritional sources: glucose (56%; 2.78 ± 0.15 g/L), (NH4)2NO3 (53%; 2.81 ± 0.37 g/L) and CaSO4 · H2O (47%; 2.19 ± 0.13 g/L). A Plackett-Burman design revealed the critical f...

The gas sensor based on pristine graphene with conductance type was studied theoretically and experimentally. The time response of conductance measurements showed a quickly and largely increased conductivity when the sensor was exposed to ammonia gas produced by a bubble system of ammonia water. However, the desorption process in vacuum took more than 1 h which indicated that there was a larger...

FT IR and FT Raman spectra of Ag3(PO2NH), (Compound I), Na3(PO2NH)3.H2O (Compound II), Na3(PO2NH)3.4H2O (Compound III), [C(NH2)3]3(PO2NH)3.H2O (Compound IV) and (NH4)4(PO2NH)4.4H2O (Compound V) are recorded and analyzed on the basis of the anions, cations and water molecules present in each of them. The PO2NH − anion ring in compound I is distorted due to the influence of Ag cation. Wide variat...
