Effect of substrate concentration on bioleaching of metal-contaminated sediment.

The remediation of metal-contaminated sediment was studied using the bioleaching process with a mixed culture of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. The effects of substrate concentration (elemental sulfur) on sediment acidification, sulfur oxidation and metal solubilization from contaminated sediment during the bioleaching process were investigated with free-cell suspensions. Sulfur concentration great...

Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structures of two novel vanadium oxides containing interlamellar transition metal complexes

Two new vanadium oxide compounds, which contain interlamellar transition metal complexes bound to vanadium oxide sheets, were synthesized hydrothermally. The crystal structure of each reveals unusual coordination geometries and interlayer bonding. [Ni(2,29-bipyridine)]2[V12O32] (1) was prepared from the reaction of V2O5, NiO, H2O and 2,29-bipyridyl in the molar ratio 4:8:3312:0.5. The isomorpho...
