The effects of adsorption on the graphite(0001) surface on the nonplanar distortions of nickel(II)octaethylporphyrin were studied by molecular mechanics (MM) approach. Using the Consistent Force Field (CFF) program with previously developed parameters for metalloporphyrins and supplemented to treat intermolecular interactions geometry optimizations were carried out for 43 conformations of 28 di...

in this work, old newspaper fibers (onf) bleached with h2o2, treated with koh and treated with naocl were investigated as potential adsorbents. the characterization of the produced fibers using ft-ir, sem and particle size distribution have been carried out and tested for the removal of ni (ii) from aqueous solutions. the results indicated that the fibers treated with koh give the highest %remo...

this article presents the method of extraction-preconcentration of lead, cadmium, and nickel ions from food samples using the ghezeljeh montmorillonite nanoclay (geleh-sar-shoor) as a new native adsorbent in batch single component systems. the extraction-preconcentration of heavy metals were carried out by applying the solid phase extraction (spe) method followed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

This paper describes a preliminary study of the adsorption of toxic elements from synthetic wastewater in a batch mode. Clay minerals have been highly considered as inexpensive available adsorbents that adapt with the environment due to a special level and a high potential of adsorption. In the present research work, low-cost natural minerals of speiolite from the Iliato mine (located in NE Ir...

The ESP determined through electron capture by small angle reflection of deuterons at well oriented Ni(110)surfaces is found to be influenced by H 2 adsorption. A coverage of one monolayer reduces the ESP from -96 -+ 3% to -8 ± 3%. The sign indicates predominance of minority spin electrons. Desorption of hydrogen from the nickel surface restores the original polarization measured at a clean (11...

introduction: nickel is found in varies industrial processes such as electroplating, leather tanning, cement preservations, paints and pigments, textile, steel fabrication and canning industries. it is proved that ni(ii) has several health hazards such as carcinogenic. the aim of this study was the evaluation of ni(ii)adsorption on apple peel granola from aqueous solution. material and methods:...

background and aims: from the past studies, it has been proved that consumption of heavy metals by humans may cause several chronicle problems like cancer, kidney and liver damage, high blood pressure and low blood pressure problems and etc. so, it has become very crucial to remove these heavy metals from industrial wastewater. the aim of this study was to find out a low cost and easy available...

A nanocomposite adsorbent based on potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate-loaded polypropylene fabric was synthesized for selective removal of Cs ions from contaminated waters by a two-stage synthesis: radiation-induced graft polymerization of acrylic acid monomer onto the nonwoven polypropylene fabric surface with subsequent in situ formation of potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate (KNiHCF) nanopartic...

Nickel oxide (NiO), deposited onto the strontium titanate (SrTiO3) (110)-(4 × 1) surface, was studied using photoemission spectroscopy (PES), X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and low-energy He+ ion scattering (LEIS), as well as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The main motivation for studying this system comes from the prominent role it plays in photocatalysis. The (4 × 1) reco...

Anodic polarization of nickel was studied by potentiostatic technique in neutral media in presence of two macrocyclic ligands. Pit initiation was detected by measuring pitting potential, Ep and the charge transfer, Q during the anodic polarization. Initiation of pitting and Q were found to be dependent on the structure and concentrations of inhibitors. Under steady state conditions, the inhibit...
