The stuffed tridymite structure Ba(Zn/Co)1−xSi1−xM2xO4 (M=Al3+ and Fe3+) is explored for the possible multiferroic behavior to develop new inorganic colored materials. compounds were synthesized by employing conventional solid-state chemistry methods in temperature range 1100–1175 °C 24 h. powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) Rietveld refinement studies indicate that stabilize P63 space group (no. 1...

Nowadays metal-organic frameworks with multiple luminescent centers are very fascinating as multifunctional luminescent material because of their luminescence properties, which could be systematically tuned by deliberate use of organic ligands and metal ions. In this research, we explored a microporous mixed-ligand MOF for highly selective and sensitive detection of metal ions. A two-fold inter...

Based on the principles of mass conservation, chemical equilibrium, and electron charge neutrality, a thermodynamic equilibrium system was established for nickel-cobalt-manganese sulfate leaching solution in recovery process spent lithium-ion batteries. By changing ion concentration system, calculating pH value, identifying complexes Cu2+, Fe3+, PO43−, Al3+, F− results were obtained used to dra...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth and reproduction. Plants acquire P from the soil solution as phosphate anions. However, phosphate anions are extremely reactive and may be immobilized through precipitation with cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+ and Al3+, depending on the particular properties of the soil and as a result, the phosphate is highly insoluble and...

−Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials of one-, two-, or three-dimensional networks constructed from metal ions/clusters and multidentate organic linkers via coordination bonding, which are emerging as an important group of materials for energy storage, CO2 adsorption, alkane/alkene separation, and catalysis. To introduce newcomers in chemical engineering discipline t...

Improving soil fertility is one of the most common practices in agricultural productivity for all crops. Teff [Eragrostistef(Zucc.) Trotter] is the major indigenous cereal crop of Ethiopia, where it was originated and diversified. It is a highly demanded and a staple food grain for 60-65% of the Ethiopian people. In a country of over 80 million people, teff accounts for about 15% of all calorie...

Combination of electrodes, such as aluminum and iron in a single electrochemical cell provide an alternative method for removal of arsenic from water by electrocoagulation. The removal process has been studied with a wide range of arsenic concentration (1-1000 ppm) at different pH (4-10). Analysis of the electrochemically generated by-products by XRD, XPS, SEM/EDAX, FT-IR, and Mössbauer Spectro...

A potent inhibitor of seryl tRNA synthetase, designated SB-217452 has been isolated from Streptomyces sp. ATCC 700974. The fermentation, isolation, structure elucidation and some properties are described. SB-217452 showed inhibitory activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and rat seryl tRNA synthetases, with similar IC50 values of approximately 8 nM. The inhibitor is the serine linked nucle...
