A simple, automated colorimetric method for determining oxalic acid in plant material is based on the quantitative reduction in colour of a zirconium/3,4-dihydroxyazobenzene-2'-carboxylic.acid complex by microgram quantities of oxaIic acid. I t is suitable for use over a wide range of oxalic acid concentrations. Interference from phosphate, sulphate, citric acid and malic acid was encountered b...

5-Substituted-1H-tetrazoles were synthesized by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of sodium azide with various nitriles in the presence of nickel zirconium phosphate (NiZrP) as an effective heterogeneous catalyst in dimethylsulfoxide at 120 °C. This method has the advantages of good to high yields, simple methodology and easy work-up. The catalyst can be recovered by centrifuging and reused with good y...

31P-NMR shows that poly(L-lysine) binding to cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylglycerol does not affect the macroscopic structure or local order (in the phosphate region) of the phospholipids. In the case of cardiolipin poly(L-lysine) inhibits the ability of Ca2+ to induce the hexagonal HII phase. Alternatively, poly(L-lysine) induces the hexagonal HII phase for a fraction of the p...

Eudialyte-group minerals are of scientific interest as important concentrators rare elements (mainly Zr and REE) in agpaitic alkaline rocks a potential source REE, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta for industrial use. Extraction uranium(VI), thorium(IV), zirconium(IV), hafnium(IV), titanium(IV), scandium(III) by binary extractant based on 1,5-bis[2-(hydroxyethoxyphosphoryl)-4-ethylphenoxy]-3-oxapentane methyl tri...

The structures of free-standing zirconium nanowires with 0.6−2.8 nm in diameter are systematically studied by using genetic algorithm simulations with a tight-binding many body potential. Several multi-shell growth sequences with cylindrical structures are obtained. These multi-shell structures are composed of coaxial atomic shells with the threeand four-strands helical, centered pentagonal and...

The physiochemical properties of Nafion 115 and a composite Nafion 115/zirconium phosphate (∼25 wt.%) membranes are compared. The composite membrane takes up more water than Nafion at the same water activity. However, the proton conductivity of the composite membrane is slightly less than that for Nafion 115. Small angle X-ray scattering shows that the hydrophilic phase domains in the composite...

Abstract The metal retention behaviors of several simulated radiolysis products on zirconium were investigated, and it was found that acid phosphate product HDEHP has the greatest effect. effects extraction nitric concentration, temperature behavior also investigated. results showed forms complexes with resulting in organic phase. Nitric concentration change morphology thus affecting behavior. ...
