Al3+-Potentiometric sensor, based on (2Z) -methyl 2- ((z) (p-tolylimino)-3-ethyl -4-oxothiazolidin -5- ylidene) Acetate (MTEOY) as a neutral ionophore, was successfully developed for the detectionof Al3+ in aqueous solutions. The electrode responds to Al3+ ion with a sensitivity of 19.8 ± 0.1 mV/decade over the range 1.0 x 10-8- 1.0 x 10-1 mol LT' and in a pH range of 3.0-9.0. The electrodeshow...

BACKGROUND Many important geochemical and biogeochemical reactions occur in the mineral/formation water interface of the highly abundant mineral, goethite [α-Fe(OOH)]. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of the goethite α-FeOOH (100) surface and the structure, water bond formation and dynamics of water molecules in the mineral/aqueous interface are presented. Several exchange correl...

A selective, simple and low-cost method for the colorimetric determination of Fe3+ ions based on chitosan capped silver nanoparticles (Chit-AgNPs) was presented. Chitosan is a cationic polyelectrolyte and possesses amino and hydroxy groups which make it widely used as a capping agent for Ag NPs. The synthesized chitosan capped silver nanoparticles with excellent colloidal stability were charact...

Iron is an important trace element involved in several biological processes. The role of iron in porcine early embryonic development remains unknown. In the present study, we depleted iron (III, Fe3+) with deferoxamine (DFM), a specific Fe3+ chelator, in cultured porcine parthenotes and monitored embryonic development, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and ATP production. Results sho...

[1] A series of four synthetic basalts comprising titanomagnetite (Fe3-xTixO4) grains of varied size and titanium content have been produced by a glass-ceramic method. Complementary characterization techniques of X-ray diffractometry, secondary electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrate the reaction product composition consisted of mainly Fe3xTixO4, pyroxene hed...

VIII VI IV Aenigmatite, Na4 (Fe2 +,Ti,Fe 3 +) 1 2 (SiFe 3 +) 12 0 40 , is a common constituent of sodium-rich alkaline igneous rocks and is classified as an open-branched single-chain silicate, whose structure is closely related to that of sapphirine. The first Mossbauer spectra of three valid aenigmatite specimens were recorded and the detailed crystal chemistry were obtained. In the Mossbauer...

Toughness and self-healing properties are desirable characteristics in engineered hydrogels used for many practical applications. However, it is still challenging to develop hydrogels exhibiting both of these attractive properties in a single material. In this work, we present the fabrication of fully physically-linked Agar/PAAc-Fe3+ DN gels. These hydrogels exhibited dual physical crosslinking...

background fenton (fe2+ and h2o2) and modified fenton (fe3+ and h2o2) are two popular methods used in advanced oxidation processes (aop) and degradation of persistent organic pollutants (pops), such as dye compounds. in these processes, fe2+ and fe3+ as catalysts and h2o2 as the oxidizing agent are added to the reactor. objectives the aim of the current study is to assess the abovementioned met...
