Sulfite oxidase (EC 1.8.3.1), when reduced by sulfite, exhibited the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of molybdenum(V). Specific calorimetric analyses demonstrated that the purified enzyme contained 1 molybdenum per heme. The electron paramagnetic resonance signal of molybdenum, which was generated by the addition of sulfite, was enriched by the purification procedure to the same degree...

A hydroponic trial was carried out to investigate the effect of molybdenum (Mo) on uptake of phosphorus (P) in different rice cultivars. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete-block design, with a split-plot arrangement of treatments and three replications. Four rates of Mo (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg L) and five cultivars (MR219, HASHEMI, MR232, FAJRE and MR253) provided the main ...

Establishing processing-structure-property relationships for monolayer materials is crucial for a range of applications spanning optics, catalysis, electronics and energy. Presently, for molybdenum disulfide, a promising catalyst for artificial photosynthesis, considerable debate surrounds the structure/property relationships of its various allotropes. Here we unambiguously solve the structure ...

bioleaching, molybdenum disulfide, catalyst residue Molybdenum disulfide, MoSz, is used as a catalyst in coal-oil coprocessing. For most processes using molybdenum catalysts to be economical, the molybdenum must be recovered and recycled. Chemical recovery schemes have been devised, but typically recover only a fraction of the molybdenum. There are reports in the literature that bacteria can ox...

Technetium-99m is the most widely used radionuclide in nuclear medicine. This work describes the method to separate 99mTc from irradiated 100Mo target. For this purpose we utilized formation of ammonium molybdenum phosphate (AMP) and have optimized the four parameters of the process. The proposed process is promising and allows fast separation of macroamounts of molybdenum without co-precipitat...

Interest in the biologic role of trace elements prompted an investigation of their renal excretion. Preliminary qualitative analysis revealed that except for cobalt the entire first transition series of metals, namely, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, nickel and copper, were detectable in most human urines. In addition the heavier transition metals, molybdenum and silver, as well ...

We are studying lithium sputtering, evaporation, transport, material mixing, and surface evolution for the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) for various surfaces and plasma conditions. Lithium modeling is complex, particularly for NSTX short pulse, multiple material, variable plasma conditions. Cases examined include: (1) liquid lithium divertor (LLD) with planned high heating power/lo...

Molybdenum-containing enzymes catalyze basic metabolic reactions in the nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon cycles. With the exception of the nitrogenase cofactor, molybdenum is incorporated into proteins as the molybdenum cofactor that contains a mononuclear molybdenum atom coordinated to the sulfur atoms of a pterin derivative named molybdopterin. Certain microorganisms can also utilize tungsten in ...

A very simple, ultra-sensitive and highly selective non-extractive spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of molybdenum(VI) using 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (DBHQ) has been developed. 5,7-Dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline reacts in a slightly acidic solution (0.05 - 1.0 M H2SO4) with molybdenum(VI) to give a deep greenish-yellow chelate which has an absorption maximum at 4...
