Sulfated zirconia (SZ) and sulfated zirconia promoted with 2 wt % manganese (MnSZ) or iron (FeSZ), all active in n-butane isomerization, were investigated using diffuse reflectance Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (DRIFTS). By adsorption of H(2) at 77 K or of n-butane at room temperature, it was found that the promoters neither enhance the Lewis nor the Brønsted acid strength. SZ and promoted ...

A multicomponent protein complex containing manganese (II)-dependent peroxidase, laccase and beta-glucosidase was isolated from culture extracts of the white rot basidiomycete Lentinula edodes. This protein complex showed a single protein band on native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). On sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE, however, it displayed three major bands and several additional...

A hydrometallurgical process for recycling spent Zn-MnO2 batteries was developed, involving leaching with sulfuric acid, purification by precipitation and metals separation for further recovery. Leaching of zinc oxide was easily attained while for manganese oxide was rather difficult depending on temperature and acid concentration. At 90oC and with the liquid/solid ratio of 20 L/kg, more than 9...

Manganese dioxide is typically reduced to a bivalent state before being extracted; here, sulfur considered an efficient reductant and sulfur–based reduction has been industrialized in China. In this study, the reaction mechanism between MnO2 gaseous was investigated. Thermodynamically, of by feasible. The predominant phase diagram as functions temperature input S2(g) fraction S2–MnO2 system cal...

Exo-polysaccharides like dextran produced by Weissella sp. have a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical and other industries. This biopolymer and its derivatives like iron dextran, clinical dextran are rapidly emerging as a new and industrially important products. Dextran a polymer of glucose is produced using sucrose rich media with nitrogen source. It also requires efficient ...

Little is known about the effects of the high dose and types of manganese supplements on rumen environment at manganese intake level close above the limit of 150 mg/kg of dry feed matter. The effects of high dose of two manganese supplements (organic and inorganic) on rumen microbial ecosystem after four months of treatment of 18 lambs divided into three treatment groups were studied. We examin...

Magnetic resonance and relative enzymatic velocity studies with the use of the paramagnetic manganese ion were carried out on creatine kinase inactivated by the specific -SH reagents iodoacetic acid and dinitrofluorobenzene and by the nonspecific reagents urea and decyl sulfate. Modification of creatine kinase at the two essential --SH groups by iodoacetic acid or dinitrofluorobenzene affected ...

Purification of concentrated manganese sulfate solution by solvent extraction is discussed in this paper. The use bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate (D2EHPA) and bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (BTMPPA) was studied removal impurities from zinc electrowinning anode sludge leachates. Over 99 % iron were removed both extractants at around pH 3 two mixer-settlers operating continuous co...
