Determination of bioavailable fractions of Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb and Cd in soils and sludges by atomic absorption spectrometry

The single extraction procedures validated by the standards, measurement and testing programme (formerly BCR), extraction with 0.05 mol l⁻¹ EDTA and 0.43 mol l⁻¹ acetic acid, have been applied to reference materials of soils and sludges with certified total values of elements, in order to determine bioavailable contents of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. These soils, which represent uncontaminated pedologically different types of soils from Slovakia and sludges from city water treatment are characterized for the bioavailable fraction of the metals using the procedures followed by SM&T Programme. Concentrations of the elements under the study in the extracts were determined by flame (FAAS) using calibration curves in appropriate extractants and by electrothermal (ETAAS) atomic absorption spectrometry, using technique of standard additions for the evaluation of the results. The accuracy of the extraction procedures and determinations of the elements in the extracts was controlled using CRM 483 certified for EDTA- and acetic acid-extractable contents of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in sewage sludge amended soil.     

A Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of CN on Ni(111) Surface

1 INTRODUCTION Cyanide, CN, is an important free-radical mole-cule of one carbon chemistry, organic chemistry, free-radical chemistry and cosmochemistry. And the im-portant industrial processes, such as the Andrussovreaction, depend on the reactivity of CN bond[1]. Thechemistry of cyanide is also important in the surfacechemistry of a number of C- and N-containing sys-tems[1, . During the past decade, the adsorption of 2]CN and CN-containing molecules on transition metalsurfa…     

Two one-dimensional mono-substituted heteropolytungstates based on Keggin anion units

Two kinds of complexes [Ni(DETA)₂]₃[SiNiW₁₁O₃₉]·2.5H₂O (DETA=diethylenetriamine) (1) and [H₂en]₂[Ba_0.15(H₂O)₂(Hen₂)]H_1.7[SiNaW₁₁O₃₉]·2H₂O (2) were obtained from the hydrothermal reaction and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectra. Crystal data: C₂₄H₈₃N₁₈Ni₄O_41.5SiW₁₁ (1), monoclinic, Pn, a=10.926(2) Å, b=23.022(5) Å, c=13.221(3) Å, β=94.27(3)°, V=3316.4(11) Å³, Z=2; C₈H_46.7N₈Ba_0.15NaO₄₃SiW₁₁ (2), monoclinic, P2₁, a=12.840(3) Å, b=11.174(2) Å, c=16.693(3) Å, β=91.14(3)°, V=2394.4(8) Å³, Z=2. Both of them consists of one mono-substituted Keggin unit [SiMW₁₁O₃₉]⁽⁸⁻ⁿ⁾⁻ (MNi, Na, n=2, 1) obtained by metal atom substituting for a W atom from the plenary anion [SiW₁₂O₄₀]⁴⁻. This unit then connects with other adjacent units via M-O-W bridges constructing an infinitely one-dimensional chain-like structure in which the metal cation and polyanion alternate. Moreover, both of Ni or Na atoms are in a distorted octahedral environment with six oxygen atoms and occupy one position in the oxometalate shell of the Keggin structure.     

Thermal, spectral and magnetic characterization of Co(II), Ni(II) AND Cu(II) 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates

Physico-chemical properties of 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) were studied. The complexes were obtained as mono- and trihydrates with a metal ion to ligand ratio of 1:2. All analysed 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates are polycrystalline compounds with colours depending on the central ions: pink for Co(II), green for Ni(II), and blue for Cu(II) complexes. Their thermal decomposition was studied only in the range of 293–523 K, because it was found that on heating in air above 523 K 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates decompose explosively. Hydrated complexes lose crystallization water molecules in one step and anhydrous compounds are formed. The final products of their decomposition are the oxides of the respective transition metals. From the results it appears that during dehydration process no transformation of nitro group to nitrite takes place. The solubilities of analysed complexes in water at 293 K are of the order of 10^–4–10^–2 mol dm^–3. The magnetic moment values of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions in 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates experimentally determined at 76–303 K change from 3.89 to 4.82 μ_B for Co(II) complex, from 2.25 to 2.98 μ_B for Ni(II) 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoate, and from 0.27 to 1.44 μ_B for Cu(II) complex. 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates of Co(II), and Ni(II) follow the Curie–Weiss law. Complex of Cu(II) forms dimer.

EPR Studies of Photoreduction of Ni/TiO2 Catalysts

Irradiations of Ni/TiO₂ catalyst by UV in hydrogen at 77 K produced not only Ni⁺ ions on the catalyst surface, but also Ni³⁺ and Ti³⁺ species in bulk or near the interface between nickel and titania. These photo-generated species were detected and characterized by low temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Relative spin concentrations of the photogenerated paramagnetic species (Niⁿ⁺ and Ti³⁺) varied with the nickel content in titania. A high nickel content in the sample resulted in a high peak intensity ratio of Niⁿ⁺ to Ti³⁺. It was found that the photoinduced self-redox reaction of Ni²⁺ ions to form Ni⁺ and Ni³⁺ ions has a priority over the photoreduction of Ti⁴⁺ to Ti³⁺ ions. The characteristic EPR spectrum of the Ni³⁺ (3d⁷) ions with g₁ = 2.268, g₂ = 2.237, and g₃ = 2.045 indicates that the Ni³⁺ ions are most likely located in the substitutional sites of TiO₂, possibly near the surface rutile phase. The Ni⁺ species (3d⁹) with g₄ = 2.130 and g₁ = 2.063 are on the surface of TiO₂. Both Ni⁺ and Ni³⁺ ions are quite stable in hydrogen. The Ni³⁺ ions seem to be responsible for anchoring the nickel ions onto titania and stablizing the Ni⁺ species on the surface. The Ni⁺ ions are thus free from oxygen poisoning and still show a high activity toward olefin oligomerization.     

Das erste Oxoferrat(I): Zur Konstitution von K3[FeO2] und K3[NiO2]

The First Oxoferrate(I): On the Constitution of K₃[FeO₂] and K₃[NiO₂] Garnet-red single crystals of K₃[FeO₂] were obtained for the first time by heating intimate mixtures of K₆[CdO₄] and CdO (molar ratio 1:1.16) in closed Fe-cylinders at 450°C during 40 d. The same way of preparation via “reaction with the cylinder surface” was applied to prepare similarly coloured single crystals of K₃[NiO₂] (K₆CdO₄ in closed Ni-cylinders at 500°C during 49 d). The structure determination by four circle diffractometer data (MoKα , K₃[FeO₂]: 731 out of 731 I_o(hkl), R = 5.76%, R_w = 5.33%, K₃[NiO₂]: 755 out of 755 I_o(hkl), R = 8.70%, R_w = 4.25%) confirms the space groups P 4₁2₁2 and P 4₃2₁2, respectively. K₃[FeO₂]: a = 604.2(2) pm, c = 1 402.7(3) pm, Z = 4 K₃[NiO₂]: a = 603.6(1) pm, c = 1 405.2(2) pm, Z = 4. (powder data, standard deviations in parentheses) Essential feature of the structure are the dumb-bell-like anions [O? M? O]^3? (M = Fe, Ni). Their arrangement corresponds to a stuffed derivative of the KrF₂-type. Magnetic properties of K₃[FeO₂] were determined and cover the monovalence of Fe. MAPLE-calculations reveal the strong coincidence of monovalent VIIIb-cations.
