The amino acid condensation reaction on a heterogeneous mineral surface has been regarded as one of the important pathways for peptide bond formation. Keeping this in view, we have studied the oligomerization of the simple amino acids, glycine and alanine, on nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄), cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄), copper ferrite (CuFe₂O₄), zinc ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄), and manganese ferrite (MnFe₂O₄) nan...

background & aims of the study: heavy metals are the most important and main pollutants because of their accumulation and high toxicity even at very low dose and cause serious hazards to ecological system as well as human health. thus, their removal has been challenged from drinking water and industrial waters with different technologies. the purpose of this work is to investigate the removal o...

Solvent extraction was used to recover nickel and zinc from synthetic acidic solution. Many leaching solution and waste waters contain both zinc and nickel at the same time. Bis (2,4,4trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272) and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) were used to separate nickel and zinc. In the D2EHPA system, at equilibrium pH of 2, zinc extraction was more than 98% wh...

Theoretical estimates of phase shifter performance as a function of material parameters are presented by examining the results obtained from the small perturbation model used by Button and Lax and from the fully ierrite loaded, parallel plane waveguide model used by Suhl «And Walker. The extension of Suhi's theory on nonlinear effects at high power by Fletcher and Silence is applied to relate t...

Stabilization efficiencies of spinel-based construction ceramics incorporating simulated nickel-laden waste sludge were evaluated and the leaching behavior of products investigated. To simulate the process of immobilization, nickel oxide was mixed alternatively with gamma-alumina, kaolinite, and hematite. These tailoring precursors are commonly used to prepare construction ceramics in the build...

The CoFe2O4 nanoparticles have been synthesized by using a stable ferric salt of FeCl3 with a micellar microemulsion method. The normal micelles are formed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDS) in aqueous solutions. The mean size of the nanoparticles can be controlled from less than 4 nm to about 10 nm through controlling the concentrations of the reagents. The neutron diffraction in combination wit...
