We report a new self-assembly pathway that leads to supported and hierarchically organized gold nanoparticle mesostructure arrays on solid substrates such as glass slide, thermal oxide, photopolymer film, and mica. Using the nanoparticle micelle as a building block, hierarchical gold nanoparticle mesostructure arrays were prepared by a hydrothermal nucleation and growth process through self-ass...

In the quest for cheap and earth abundant but highly effective and energy efficient water splitting catalysts, manganese oxide represents one of the materials of choice. In the framework of a new hierarchical modeling strategy we employ free non-ligated manganese oxide clusters MnxOx+y(+) (x = 2-5, y = -1, 0, 1, 2) as simplified molecular models to probe the interaction of water with nano-scale...

A series of catalysts of manganese oxide, manganese–cerium and iron–manganese oxide supported on USY (ultra-stable Y zeolite) were studied for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia in the presence of excess oxygen. It was found that MnOx/USY have high activity and high selectivity to N2 in the temperature range 80–180 8C. The addition of iron and cerium oxid...

An experiment was conducted to estimate the relative biological availability of manganese (Mn) from some inorganic sources compared with that from reagent grade Mn sulfate. Three hundred developed local strain "Golden Montazah" male chicks 4 weeks old were used. They were randomly distributed into 10 groups (3 replicates / group) (10 male chicks / replicate) according to the average replicate b...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of titanium dioxide and titanium oxide foliar application during two growing stage on growth and forage production of maize during 2012 growing season in the research farm of Islamic Azad University of Varamin-Pishva Branch. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks arranged in factorial with four replications. The factors were includ...

Arsenic is a kind of protoplasmic poison, which exists widely in the natural environment. Consuming too much arsenic can cause number health problems. Manganese oxide plays an important role pollution removal technology. In this paper, hazard and its treatment methods application manganese oxides are summarized, prospect research on by put forward.

Wet oxidation of phenol, 2-chlorophenol, 4-chlorophenol and 2-nitrophenol over iron oxide and manganese dioxide catalysts was tested in this work with or without hydrogen peroxide in the reaction mixture. Influence of factors such as catalyst load, reactant-hydrogen peroxide mole ratio, and reaction time was monitored for all the phenols. Increase in the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the feed ...

Manganese transport into the blood can result from inhaling metal-containing particles. Intestinal manganese and iron absorption is mediated by divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and is upregulated in iron deficiency. Since iron status alters absorption of Fe and Mn in the gut, we tested the hypothesis that iron status may alter pulmonary transport of these metals. DMT1 expression in the lungs...

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...
