the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

   Adsorption of OH on the PdxCu3-x(x=0-3) small clusters is investigated by density functional theory calculations. It is found that OH adsorbs in three possible modes including on top, bridge and hollow sites while the structures where OH bridges between two atoms are the most stable structures. The Pd-Pd, Pd-Cu and Cu-Cu equilibrium distances for most of the systems...

measurement of availability and mobility of heavy metals in river sediments is required in order to understand the behavior of these metals and to prevent potential toxic hazards. leaching column experiments were conducted for four sediment samples to determine the degree of mobility and the distribution of zn, cd, ni, cu, and pb because of an application of spiked heavy metals in sediments. se...

Annealing Cu and dilute Cu(Ti), Cu(Sn) and Cu(Al) alloy films resulted in the strengthening of film texture, with the strongest <111> fiber texture being found for Cu(Ti). Annealing also resulted in a decrease of electrical resistivity and the growth of grains, with the largest grain size and lowest resistivity being seen for pure Cu itself. Among the alloy films, the lowest resistivity was fou...

CuO nano particles were obtained by calcination of nano-sized  [Cu(C4H4O4)(bipy)(H2O)2].2H2O (1) and [Cu(2‚2′-bipy)](C4H4O4)0.5(NO3)(H2O) (2) which are two  Cu(II) coordination polymers. The two coordination polymers [Cu(C4H4O4)(bipy)(H2O)2].2H2O and [Cu(2‚2′-bipy)](C4H4O4)0.5(NO3)(H2O) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR spectroscopy), thermal gravim...

Copper (II) carboxylate, (Cu-BDC), metal-organic-framework (MOF) has been synthesized undersolvothermalconditions and used as a new adsorbent for the methane. The Lithium doping intoCu-BDC, (Li-Cu-BDC), is made by impregnating Cu-BDC with an ethanol solution ofLiNO3, followed by heat treatment in vacuum. The adsorbent was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared ...

ni-co/cu multilayers have been grown by electrodeposition method from a single electrolyte (based on ni(so4).6h2o, co(so4).7h2o, cu(so4) and h3bo3) using galvanostatic control on titanium sublayers. the x-ray diffraction (xrd) patterns confirmed the multilayered structure with the nanometer thicknesses. also, electron diffraction x-ray (edx)  analysis confirmed the purity of deposited samples. ...
