Saykal X-ray absorption spectra of 1 M aqueous solutions of indium(III) chloride, yttrium(III) bromide, lanthanum(III) chloride, tin(IV) chloride and chromium(III) chloride...

In this work we have successfully fabricated nanocrystalline anatase TiO₂/perovskite-type porous nanosized LaFeO₃ (T/P-LFO) nanocomposites using a simple wet chemical method. It is clearly demonstrated by means of atmosphere-controlled steady-state surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) responses, photoluminescence spectra, and fluorescence spectra related to the formed OH- radical amount that...

The renewable pine needles was used as an adsorbent to remove phosphorus from aqueous solutions. Using batch experiments, pine needles pretreated with alkali-isopropanol (AI) failed to effectively remove phosphorus, while pine needles modified with lanthanum hydroxide (LH) showed relatively high removal efficiency. LH pine needles were effective at a wide pH ranges, with the highest removal eff...

The catalytic conversion of CO 2 to CH 4 and over nickel particles supported on layered-double hydroxide (MgAl) with different metal promoters was investigated under non-thermal plasma (NTP) conditions. It has been shown that lanthanum-promoted Ni catalysts significantly enhanced the in comparison 10Ni/MgAl catalyst (33.4% vs. 89.3%). In comparison, for potassium-promoted catalysts, is similar ...

INTRODUCTION Non-adherence to phosphate binding (PB) medication may play a role in the difficulty in achieving the targets for phosphorus. We have a wide armamentarium of PB but preferences of patients are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE to study the patients' preferences and beliefs regarding PB and their influence on adherence and serum phosphate. METHODS A cross-sectional cohort study was p...

Natural gas may be used instead of hydrogen as fuel for the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) by steam reforming the natural gas inside the MCFC, using a nickel catalyst (internal reforming). The severe conditions inside the MCFC, however, require that the catalyst has a very high stability. In order to find suitable types of nickel catalysts and to obtain more knowledge about the deactivation ...
