Determination of Nickel in High Cobalt Alloy and Cobalt Metal

Composition tunable cobalt–nickel and cobalt–iron alloy nanoparticles below 10 nm synthesized using acetonated cobalt carbonyl

A general organometallic route has been developed to synthesize Co(x)Ni(1-x) and Co(x)Fe(1-x) alloy nanoparticles with a fully tunable composition and a size of 4-10 nm with high yield. In contrast to previously reported synthesis methods using dicobalt octacarbonyl (Co(2)(CO)(8)), here the cobalt-cobalt bond in the carbonyl complex is first broken with anhydrous acetone. The acetonated compoun...

Nickel and Cobalt Ores: Flotation

Most of the world’s nickel is extracted from the mineral pentlandite, (Ni, Fe)9S8, which frequently occurs in ores containing predominantly pyrrhotite and various non-sulRdes, some of which contain magnesium (Table 1). The nickel content in such sulRde ores is generally low (0.2}3%) and varies from place to place in the same deposit. The low nickel content of the present-day nickel sulRde ores ...

Boryl-metal bonds facilitate cobalt/nickel-catalyzed olefin hydrogenation.

New approaches toward the generation of late first-row metal catalysts that efficiently facilitate two-electron reductive transformations (e.g., hydrogenation) more typical of noble-metal catalysts is an important goal. Herein we describe the synthesis of a structurally unusual S = 1 bimetallic Co complex, [((Cy)PBP)CoH]2 (1), supported by bis(phosphino)boryl and bis(phosphino)hydridoborane lig...

Spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of nickel, cobalt and copper by orthogonal signal correction–partial least squares

A method for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of nickel, cobalt and copper based on theformation of their complexes with 2-(2-Thiazolylazo)-p-Cresol (TAC) in micellar media of Triton X-100 isproposed. The absorbance spectra were recorded in the range of 500 to 800 nm. The linear concentrationrange for nickel, cobalt and copper in solution calibration sets were 0.05–1.80, 0.10–6...
