Thallium is used in both cyanide and sulfite-based gold plating bath solutions as an additive that modulates how deposits on the target substrate. The level of Tl has a large effect properties being deposited, including its microstructure hardness. Thus, especially commercial process applications, it critical to be able measure content accurately, quickly, facilely order ensure proper quality p...

Soil contamination with such rare heavy metals as silver (Ag), bismuth (Bi), tellurium (Te), and thallium (Tl) leads to disruption of its agricultural ecological functions. Each these has a different level soil toxicity, which affects the state recovery degree estimated by biological indicators. The work objective is assess ecotoxicity oxides nitrates silver, bismuth, tellurium, indicators Hapl...

In patients with chronic coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, the distinction between ventricular dysfunction arising from myocardial fibrosis and ischemic, but viable, myocardium has important clinical implications. By positron emission tomography (PET), enhanced fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in myocardial segments with impaired function and reduced b...

Background. Thallium reinjection immediately after conventional stress-redistribution imaging improves the detection of viable myocardium, as many myocardial regions with apparently "irreversible" thallium defects on standard 3-4-hour redistribution images manifest enhanced thallium uptake after reinjection. Because the 10-minute period between reinjection and imaging may be too short, the pres...

Background: The incorporation of thallium-201 into 8-hydroxyquinoline was targeted for cell labeling due to interesting physical properties and wide availability of this nuclide as a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radionuclide. Materials and Methods: Thallium-201 (T1/2=3.04 d) in Tl+ form was converted to Tl3+ cation in presence of O3/6M HCl and di-isopropyl ether, controlle...

Metal oxides are investigated as an alternative to metal contacts on thallium bromide (TlBr) radiation detectors. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of SnO 2/TlBr and ITO/TlBr devices indicate that a type-II staggered heterojunction forms between TlBr upon contacting. By using the Kraut method valence band offset (VBO) determination, VBOs heterojunctions determined be 1.05±0.17 0.70±0.17 ...

Thallium is a highly toxic element. Its concentration in sediment fractions from the 2004 tsunami in Thailand was investigated. A modified BCR procedure was used for sequential extraction. Tl was determined by flow injection differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. It was found that the majority of thallium in the investigated tsunami sediments (86-97 percent) is entrapped in the alumos...

in this study, the adsorption of thallium (iii) ion from aqueous solutions onto modified znonanopowder as a fairly low cost adsorbent has been investigated in batch mode. it was found thatmodification of the adsorbent was essential for obtaining the significant adsorption percentage. theadsorbent modified by sodium phosphate solution. the effect of experimental parameters such asinitial ph of s...
