Utilization of waste sodium sulfate from battery chemical production in neutral electrolytic pickling
2021
Abstract Several industrial activities produce metal sulfates, which are controlled by strict limitations for wastewater concentrations of sulfate. One emerging area where these activities occur is the production of lithium-ion battery chemicals in which sodium sulfates are formed because of cathode precursor co-precipitation. Several solutions for sulfate removal exist, but one option is to reuse the sulfate side stream in other processes to increase circular economy and atom efficiency. In this paper, the reuse of sodium sulfate solution in a steel industry pickling solution is considered. Neutral electrolytic pickling experiments were carried out to compare the pickling behavior of the e…
Silver(I), Copper(I) and Copper(II) Complex of the New N,Se-Chelate Ligand 2-Phenylselenomethyl-1H-benzimidazole: Electrochemistry and Structure
2009
Abstract. 2-Phenylselenomethyl-1H-benzimidazole (psbi) can form complexes in 2:1 ratio with coinage metal ions. Crystal structure analysis revealed a flattened metal coordination for [AgI(psbi)2](BF4) (1), approaching a distorted planar arrangement with weak Ag-Se bonds (d > 2.9 A) and confirmed as energy minimum by DFT calculations. The typical Jahn-Teller system [CuII(psbi)2Cl2] (2) exhibits a planar CuN2Cl2 core with weak Se---Cu---Se axial ligation (3.2944(8) A Cu--Se distance). The oxygen-sensitive compound [CuI(psbi)2](BF4) (3) exhibits electrochemically reversible oxidation in contrast to the silver(I) analogue 1.
Coordinating properties of the Cephalexine antibiotic. A potentiometric study of the complexes formation between Cephalexine and Co(II), Ni(II) and C…
1989
Abstract The formation of complexes between Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with Cephalexine has been investigated using potentiometric techniques. The stability constants of the complexes formed were calculated using the non-linear least-squares computer program SUPERQUAD. The obtained values were: Co(II) logβ1=2.40, logβMLOH=8.89; Ni(II) logβ1=2.80, logβ2=5.10, logβML2OH=12.09; Cu(II) logβ1=4.094 (25 °C, 0.1 M KNO3). The compound [Ni(CEX)(OH2)4]BPh4 has been synthesized and characterized by electronic, IR and NMR spectroscopies as well as by magnetic measurements. From these studies it is proposed that the Cephalexinate anion acts as a bidentate ligand and is bound to the metal ion through the …
Naphthalene-containing polyamines supported in nanosized boehmite particles
2007
Boehmite nanoparticles with covalently linked polyamine chains functionalized with naphthalene fluorophores have been prepared and characterized. The characterization of the materials by elemental microanalysis, X-ray powder diffraction, MAS 29Si NMR and electron microscopy unambiguously prove that the covalent anchorage had occurred. Steady-state fluorescence emission studies show that the luminescent properties of the modified nanoparticles are sensitive to changes in concentration of hydrogen ions, metal ions and anionic nucleotides such as ATP. The behaviour of the attached materials in aqueous solution is parallel to the behaviour of the single fluorophoric polyamines. Comparisons are …
Influence of metal ions on the structures of Keggin polyoxometalate-based solids: Hydrothermal syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties
2006
Abstract Three new Keggin polyoxometalate (POM)-based compounds linked to 3d metal complexes have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions: [Cu(phen)2]2{[Cu(phen)]2 [SiMo12O40(VO)2]} (1), {[Zn(phen)2]2[GeMo12O40(VO)2]}{[Zn(phen)2(H2O)]2 [GeMo12O40(VO)2]}·3H2O (2) and {[Co(phen)2]2[PMo12O40(VO)2]}{[Co(phen)2(OH)]2 [PMo12O40(VO)2]}·2.5H2O (3) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline). These three compounds present, as building blocks, the bicapped Keggin anions [XMo12O40(VO)2] (X=Si, Ge and P). Compound 1 consists of a bicapped Keggin anion [SiMo12O40(VO)2]2− linked to two [Cu(phen)]+ complexes with two [Cu(phen)2]+ countercations. Compound 2 contains two bicapped Keggin anions [GeMo12O40(VO)2]4−, one…
Synthesis and coordinating ability of an anionic cobaltabisdicarbollide ligand geometrically analogous to BINAP.
2004
The anionic chelating ligand [1,1'-(PPh 2 ) 2 -3,3'-Co(1,2-C 2 B 9 H 1 0 ) 2 ] - has been synthesized from [3,3'-Co(1,2-C 2 B 4 H 1 1 ) 2 ] - in very good yield in a one-pot process with an easy work-up procedure. The coordinating ability of this ligand has been studied with Group 11 metal ions (Ag, Au) and with transition-metal ions (Pd, Rh). The two dicarbollide halves of the [1,1'-(PPh 2 ) 2 -3,3'-Co(1,2-C 2 B 9 H 1 0 ) 2 ] - ligand can swing about one axis in a manner analogous to the constituent parts of BINAP and ferrocenyl phosphine derivatives. All these ligands function as hinges, with the most important property in relation to the coordination requirements of the metal being the P…
Increasing the nuclearity and spin ground state in a new family of ferromagnetically-coupled {Ni10} disk-like complexes bearing exclusively end-on br…
2018
The synthesis of a new family of ferromagnetically-coupled {Ni10} clusters counterbalanced by various [Ln(NO3)5]2− ions is herein described. The resulting compounds are organic chelate-free and the metal ions are exclusively bridged by end-on azido ligands to stabilize a beautiful disk-like topology reminiscent of the structure of the brucite mineral.
Influence of metal ions on thermal aggregation of bovine serum albumin: aggregation kinetics and structural changes
2009
Metal ions are implicated in protein aggregation processes of several neurodegenerative pathologies. In this work the effects of Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions on heat-induced structural modifications of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied, with the aim of delineating the role of these ions in the early stages of proteins aggregation kinetics. A joint application of different techniques was used. The aggregate growth was followed by dynamic light scattering measurements, whereas the conformational changes occurring in the protein structure were monitored by Raman and IR spectroscopy. Both in absence and in presence of metal ions, heating treatment gave rise to b-structures to the detriment of a…
Sorption properties of algae Spirogyra sp. and their use for determination of heavy metal ions concentrations in surface water.
2010
Abstract Kinetics of heavy-metal ions sorption by alga Spirogyra sp. was evaluated experimentally in the laboratory, using both the static and the dynamic approach. The metal ions – Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ – were sorbed from aqueous solutions of their salts. The static experiments showed that the sorption equilibria were attained in 30 min, with 90-95% of metal ions sorbed in first 10 min of each process. The sorption equilibria were approximated with the Langmuir isotherm model. The algae sorbed each heavy metal ions proportionally to the amount of this metal ions in solution. The experiments confirmed that after 30 min of exposition to contaminated water, the concentration of heavy meta…
Metal speciation in biological fluids — a review
1996
The literature on the speciation of metal ions in biological fluids is comprehensively reviewed. Critical examination on this subject reveals that major work has been done in blood and urine. Speciation in materials like milk has not yet been widely studied. On the other hand, only few references could be found on sweat, saliva, cell lysate, cerebrospinal, seminal, tear and bronchoalveolar fluids. The topics studied for these fluids were mainly the speciation of arsenic, mercury, aluminium and selenium. Work on the speciation of other elements like zinc, chromium, cadmium, lead, copper, iron etc. have also been carried out in such matrices. The present literature survey includes also a crit…
