The protection of metallic surface is commonly done with zinc phosphate in acid aqueous phosphate solutions containing zinc ions and phosphoric acid, as well in addition of other metallic ions (nickel, chromium, calcium, niobium etc.), in presence of accelerators as nitrate ions, hydroxylamine sulfate, benzotriazole and others. The present article is a study on the surface structure of zinc pho...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nano-size powder is synthesized using nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and ammonia as precursors. Applied surfactant is anionic surfactant. The sample was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained confirm the presence of nickel oxide nano-powders produced during chemical precipitation...

The difference in the standard Gibbs free energy for the formation of any two oxides or sulfides is the chemical potential for selective reduction of metals from complex minerals. The magnitude of the Gibbs free energy difference is shown by plotting the univariant relationships for relevant sulfides and oxides. In this investigation, three examples of mineral sulfides are considered, and the e...

Nickel damages the male reproductive system. We investigated beneficial effects of silibinin which has metal-chelating and antioxidant properties over nickel toxicity. Both antioxidative in testes overall related to sperm motility, membrane acrosome integrity orally administered Silibinin were evaluated against harmful 30 day intraperitoneal sulfate (5 mg/kg/day) administration rats. Male rats ...

The present study describes the effectiveness of removal of selected aqueous anions by several metalloligs, i.e., metal derivatives of a commercially available immobilized ligand, IMLIG, Octolig. This material consists of polyethylenediamine moieties covalently bound to a high-surface area silica gel (CAS Registry number = 404899-06-5). The metals involved are copper, cobalt, iron, nickel, mang...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(2)H(6)N(4)O(2))(3)]SO(4)·5H(2)O, contains two complex cations, two sulfate anions and ten lattice water mol-ecules. In both independent cations, the central Ni(II) ion adopts a distorted octa-hedral coordination involving six imino N atoms of three bidentate oxamide dioxime ligands. The bulk structure is achieved by a three-dimensional network of...

Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse the trends of allergy to the 10 most frequent contact allergens and to assess ageand sex-dependent changes of the trends in patients examined in 1996-2009. Material and methods: 4433 patients underwent patch tests with a set of allergens containing: potassium dichromate, nickel sulfate, cobalt chloride, 4-phenylenediamine, formaldehyde, thiuram mix, merc...

Eight asthmatic patients with hard metal asthma due to cobalt underwent bronchial provocation challenge with nickel sulphate. Seven patients developed a fall in FEV1 of 20% or more after inhaling nickel sulphate, four showing an immediate response and three a late response. Eight control subjects, including six asthmatic patients, with no history of hard metal exposure, showed no bronchoconstri...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₄]SO₄, consists of a complex [Ni(bipy)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cation (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and a non-coordinating [SO₄]²⁻ anion. The Ni(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry defined by the two N atoms of the bipy ligand and four water O atoms. The crystal structure contains extensive classical O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which ...
