The coexistence of cadmium ion (Cd(II)) and antimonate (Sb(V)) creates the need for their simultaneous removal. This study aims to investigate the effects of positively-charged Cd(II) on the removal of negative Sb(V) ions by Fe-Mn binary oxide (FMBO) and associated mechanisms. The maximum Sb(V) adsorption density (Qmax,Sb(V)) increased from 1.02 to 1.32 and 2.01 mmol/g in the presence of Cd(II)...

Between 1924 and 1947, Gino Severini decorated five churches in the Romand region of Switzerland with monumental religious wall paintings. This mural art played an important role Italian artist's career despite being mostly unknown not easily found. The painting methods materials these modern Swiss murals were characterized by combining historical archival research onsite visual scientific exam...

Characteristics of tellurite-tungstate-antimonate glasses containing heavy metal oxide were investigated in detail using two methods: the MCNPX Monte Carlo code and Phy-X/PSD platform. The influence Sm2O3, translocating with TeO2 at ratios 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5 mol% on radiation shielding properties glasses, was set forth five glass structures determined according to (75-x)TeO2-15Sb2O3-10WO3-xS...

Standard therapy of human visceral leishmaniasis with parenteral pentavalent antimonial agents is generally curative but has the disadvantages of a 28-day treatment course, occasional treatment failures, and toxicity. The antifungal and antileishmanial agent amphotericin B has been complexed with lipids to develop a less toxic formulation of amphotericin B. Because lipid particles are phagocyti...

Antimonite [Sb(III)]-oxidizing bacteria can transform the toxic Sb(III) into the less toxic antimonate [Sb(V)]. Recently, the cytoplasmic Sb(III)-oxidase AnoA and the periplasmic arsenite [As(III)] oxidase AioAB were shown to responsible for bacterial Sb(III) oxidation, however, disruption of each gene only partially decreased Sb(III) oxidation efficiency. This study showed that in Agrobacteriu...

The morphology of defect pyrochlore-type, AgSbO3 microparticle/nanoparticles obtained via solid state reaction evolve from irregular to Fullerene-like polyhedra before finally decomposing into metal-organic framework-5 like particles with increase in sintering temperature. The defect pyrochlore-type AgSbO3 particles are slightly Ag deficient while the valence of the antimony ion is shown to be ...
