Forty crossbred wether lambs, 44 kg initial body weight, were used to study relative bioavailability of Mo in supplemental Mo sources and their effects on body Cu storage. The basal maize-soya-bean meal-cottonseed hulls diet contained 11.5 mg kgÿ1 Cu, 1.1 mg kgÿ1 Mo and 2.1 g kgÿ1 S (DM basis) and was supplemented with 0, 15, 30, or 45 mg kgÿ1 (as-fed basis) added Mo as reagent grade sodium mol...

For the past 5 years, Montana Tech has coordinated eff orts with Chevron Phillips Chemical to determine how organic depressant, disodium carboxymethyl trithiocarbonate (Orfom® D8 depressant), works separate chalcopyrite from molybdenite during cleaner flotation of a bulk sulfide concentrate. Pure minerals were studied by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform in...

In this study, a high energy planetary ball milling technique was used to synthesize nano-crystalline Mo-Cu alloys. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) and copper oxide (CuO) were used as the starting materials. Carbo-thermal co-reduction of mixed Mo and Cu oxides powders was done with milling followed by a heat treatment at a high temperature. Differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric (DTA/TG) wa...

In the title complex, {[Cu(2)Mo(CN)(8)(C(12)H(30)N(6)O(2))(2)]·4H(2)O}(n), the polyhedron around Mo has site symmetry with a distorted square-antiprismatic shape, while the Cu atom (2 symmetry) is in a distorted axially elongated octa-hedral coordination environment. The uncoordinated water molecule is disordered over three sites with occupancies of 0.445 (7), 0.340 (7) and 0.215 (7). Mo and Cu...

Seventeen elements were analysed in the organs and tissues of the variegated scallop Chlamys varia, from the Atlantic coast of France. Concentration levels were determined in scallops of different sizes sampled in contaminated (La Rochelle Bay) and clean (Re Island) sites. Greater concentrations of Ag, Al, Ce, Cr, La, Mo, Nd, Ti, and V were found in the digestive gland while As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn,...

Cu(II) and organic carboxylic acids, existing extensively in soil and aquatic environments, can form complexes that may play an important role in the photodegradation of organic contaminants. In this paper, the catalytic role of Cu(II) in the removal of methyl orange (MO) in the presence of tartaric acid with light was investigated through batch experiments. The results demonstrate that the int...

Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...

Three hybrid networks based on octamolybdate building units, Cu(I)(8)BBTZ(6)[(α-Mo(8)O(26))(β-Mo(8)O(26))] (1), (Cu(I)BBTZ)(4)[Mo(7)Cu(II)O(24)(H(2)O)(2)]·6H(2)O (2), and Cu(II)Cu(I)(2)BBTZ(5)[β-Mo(8)O(26)] (3) (BBTZ = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), have been synthesized under ionothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 exhibits a rar...

the concentrations and speciation of mo, together with fe, cu, and zn, in nver river sediments impacted with mo mining activities in western liaoning, northeast china, were investigated withgeochemical method. using the x-ray fluorescence and x-ray diffraction, the characterizations of metals in tailings ponds deposited along the nver river bank were analyzed. analysis and comparison of the con...

Due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. The known world class Cu-Mo deposit, Sarcheshmeh Porphyry deposit (central Iran) selected as the study area. The Hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...
