Iron oxide (Fe2O3) is widely used as a catalyst, pigment and gas sensitive material.  In this article, α-Fe2O3 nano-rods were first synthesized via a simple chemical method using iron(III) nitrate 9- hydrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O) as precursor. XRD pattern showed that the iron oxide nanoparticles exhibited alpha-Fe2O3 (hematite) structure in nanocrystals. The single-phase α- Fe2O3 nano-rods were prepa...

The extraction of chromium(III) from a model waste solution and also from a waste solution of an Indian tannery with Amberlite IR 120 resin is described, and the performance of this resin is compared with other similar resins. The parameters that were optimized include effect of mixing time, pH, loading and elution behaviours of chromium(III) for this resin. Sorption of chromium(III) on Amberli...

The isothermal isotopic exchange reaction of O2 with 16O of chromium(VI) oxide supported on zirconia, alumina, and titania has been investigated with in situ laser Raman spectroscopy. The isotopic exchange reaction is dependent on the support type, the Cr loading, and the reaction temperature. Complete isotopic exchange of chromium(VI) oxide with O2 is difficult to achieve and requires several ...

The chromium (III) metformin hydrochloride complex as a diabetic drug model was synthesised by the chemical reaction between chromium (III) chloride hexahydrateand metforminHCl (Mfn.HCl) in methanol solvent. The [Cr(Mfn-HCl)2(Cl)2].Cl.6H2O complex was characterized using microanalytical measurements, molar conductance, spectroscopic (infrared, and UV-vis.), effective magnetic moment, and therma...

A three-dimensional (3D) fin-shaped field-effect transistor structure based on III-V metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication has been demonstrated using a submicron GaAs fin as the high-mobility channel. The fin-shaped channel has a thickness-to-width ratio (TFin/WFin) equal to 1. The nano-stacked high-k Al2O3 dielectric was adopted as a gate insulator in forming ...

A new simple arid rapid catalytic kinetic method for determination of trace amounts of chromium (110 isdescribed. The method is based on the catalytic effect of chromium (III) on the reduction of Methylene blue byascorbic acid in acidic media. The reaction monitored smectrophotomenically by measuring the decrease ofabsorbance at 664 nm at 25 C. The fixed-time method was used for the first 300 s...

nano-sized drugs have better distribution than their identical forms. magnesium is the cofactor of various enzymes in lipid and glucose metabolism. in this study the effect of nano-magnesium oxide (nano-mgo) on glucose concentration and lipid profile in diabetes induced mice was evaluated in 21 laboratory mice. mice were divided randomly into three equal groups (control, treatment and placebo)....

Four chromium based oxo-trinuclear carboxylate complexes were prepared by reacting chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate with acetic acid and substituted carboxylic acids. They were characterized using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Chromium content of the complexes was determined by titrimetry method. The chromium(III) monochloroacetate complex, [Cr3O(ClCH2COO)6.3H2O]NO3.3H2O in combination with d...
