Arsenic (As) contamination in the groundwater of Bangladesh is one of the major public health concerns. It has become a challenge to remove As from groundwater and a great deal of efforts employed in this regards with limited success. Cerium oxide is one of the important medias of arsenic removal techniques. Nine units of cerium-based arsenic technology were tested with seven different well wat...

a pvc membrane fe(iii) ion selective electrode has been constructed using a new macrocyclic asmembrane carrier.the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for fe(iii) over a wideconcentration range 1.0×10-4 to 1.0×10-1m with a slope 19.4±0.5 mv/decade a and a working phrange of 6.5-9.0. it has a fast response time ≤30s.the best performance was observed with themembrance having the 30....

The objective of this study is to develop a simple, environmentally benign alternate analytical method for simultaneous estimation of iron oxidation states. This proposed method of iron speciation is based on 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) modified redox potential of transition metal ions. In a pre-step excess cerium(IV) oxidizes iron(II) in sample to iron(III). Initial back titration of un-reacted...

The promotion of Ag–ZSM-5 by cerium for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with methane in the presence of an excess of oxygen was studied in this work. Ce–Ag–ZSM-5 catalyzes the CH4-SCR of NOx over the temperature range of 450–600◦C. Rate measurements of NO reduction to N2 under SCR conditions and of the competing CH4 oxidation by O2 (CH4 combustion) show that incorporation of a sma...

A screen-printed dissolved oxygen sensor was fabricated using cerium oxide-supported silver catalyst and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film. A PDMS film of 3 µm thickness showed good permeability for oxygen and impermeability for hydrogen peroxide. The calibration curve has shown a linear relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 for the dissolved oxygen concentration. The sensitivi...

In the structure of the title complex, {[CeFe(CN)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O}(n), the Ce(III) and Fe(III) atoms exhibit square anti-prismatic [CeN(6)(H(2)O)(2)] (site symmetry m2m) and octahedral [FeC(6)] (site symmetry 2/m) coordination geometries, respectively. The metal atoms are linked alternately through the cyanide groups, forming a three-dimensional framework in which the {Ce(2)Fe(2)(CN)(4)} p...

Potential of rhodium(III) chloride in catalyzing, in aqueous sulfuric acid medium, the oxidation of vicinal diols, and the kinetics of reaction of cerium(IV) with propane-1,2-diol and butane-2,3-diol catalyzed by rhodium(III) chloride was investigated. Data show that the reactions follow first order kinetics with respect to low cerium(IV) for lower concentrations, but a further increase in the ...
