Anodic Processes under Extraction Tellurium from Oxihalide Melts

Pt3Te4 nanoparticles from tellurium nanowires.

We report the synthesis of platinum telluride nanoparticles (Pt(3)Te(4) NPs) in the solution phase at room temperature using a template-assisted method. The dendrimeric aggregates formed are composed of several small units of Pt(3)Te(4) NPs of ∼4 nm diameter. Tellurium nanowires (Te NWs) are used as the template and the reducing agent in the growth of NPs which occurs due to the galvanic replac...

A Study on Vanadium Extraction from Fe-V-P Melts Derived from Primary and Secondary Sources

Vanadium extraction methods were developed for iron-vanadium-phosphorus (FeV-P) melts derived from processing of V-bearing titanomagnetites and steel slags. Studies on phase relationships of V slags were carried out to provide important understanding of the extraction processes. Phase relationship in vanadiferous slag was investigated experimentally at 1573K, 1673K and 1773K, for the compositio...

Optimum conditions for protein extraction from tuna processing by-products using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes

The by-product from tuna processing is a potential source of edible protein. Therefore, it is very important to extract protein from such raw materials for human food. In this study the optimum pH for protein extraction from tuna by-products was optimized by using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the single factor model were used...

Phonon Softening and Superconductivity in Tellurium under Pressure.

The phonon dispersion and the electron-phonon interaction for the β-Po and the bcc high pressure phases of tellurium are computed with densityfunctional perturbation theory. Our calculations reproduce and explain the experimentally observed pressure dependence of the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) and confirm the connection between the jump in Tc and the structural phase transition. ...
