New nanocomposites containing sandwich-type polyoxometalate of [(PW₉O₃₄)₂(HOSn^IVOH)₃]^12? (P₂W₁₈Sn₃) loaded onto Ln-doped TiO₂ (Nd, Sm, Dy, Tb) nanoparticles were synthesized and their catalytic activities were assessed. The Ln–TiO₂ nanoparticles and Ln–TiO₂/P₂W₁₈Sn₃ nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive analysis of X-rays spectra and diffuse reflectance spectra. The photocatalytic efficiency of the Ln–TiO₂ and Ln–TiO₂/P₂W₁₈Sn₃ were examined in the photodegradation of methyl orange and methylene blue solutions. It was revealed through different characterization techniques that the P₂W₁₈Sn₃ was successfully loaded on the lanthanide-doped anatase phase TiO₂ nanoparticles and the particles diameter were relatively 20–30 nanometers. It was revealed that doping by the lanthanide ions followed by loading of polyoxometalates improves the photocatalytic performance of TiO₂ effectively. The effects of operational parameters and the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation under UV light were discussed. The prepared nanocomposites were stable and could be easily separated from the reaction system.

Influence of pH on the incorporation and growth of Pb<Subscript>2</Subscript>CrO<Subscript>5</Subscript> crystallites in silica matrix

Pb₂CrO₅ nanoparticles were embedded in an amorphous SiO₂ matrix by the sol–gel process. The pH and heat treatment effects were evaluated in terms of structural, microstructural and optical properties from Pb₂CrO₅/SiO₂ compounds. X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and diffuse reflectance techniques were employed. Kubelka–Munk theory was used to calculate diffuse reflectance spectra that were compared to the experimental results. Finally, colorimetric coordinates of the Pb₂CrO₅/SiO₂ compounds were shown and discussed. In general, an acid pH initially dissolves Pb₂CrO₅ nanoparticles and following heat treatment at 600 °C crystallized into PbCrO₄ composition with grain size around 6 nm in SiO₂ matrix. No Pb₂CrO₅ solubilization was observed for basic pH. These nanoparticles were incorporated in silica matrix showing a variety of color ranging from yellow to orange.     

A comparison study between sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfonate with respect to the thermodynamic properties,micellization, and interaction with poly(ethylene glycol) in aqueous solutions

The density, sound velocity, and conductivity measurements were performed on aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na) or sodium dodecyl sulfonate (C₁₂H₂₅SO₃Na) in the absence and presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) at different temperatures. Changes in the apparent molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities upon micellization were derived using a pseudophase-transition approach and the infinite dilution apparent molar properties of the monomer and micellar form of C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na and C₁₂H₂₅SO₃Na were determined. Variations of the critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of both surfactants in the solutions investigated with temperature were obtained from which thermodynamic parameters of micellization were estimated. It was found that at low temperature the micelle formation process is endothermic and therefore, this process must be entropically driven. However, upon increasing the temperature, the enthalpic factor becomes more significant and, at temperatures higher than 303.15 K the micellization is enthalpy driven. The interactions between C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na/C₁₂H₂₅SO₃Na and PEG were studied and it was found that sodium alkyl sulfonates were seen to interact more weakly than their sulfate analogues.

Selective extraction of gadolinium from Sm2O3 and Gd2O3 mixtures in a single step assisted by MgCl2 in LiCl–KCl melts

The chloration of MgCl₂ was studied in the LiCl–KCl–MgCl₂–Gd₂O₃–Sm₂O₃ melts. Gd(III) and Sm(III) ions were observed by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry assisted by MgCl₂ in melts. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of melts indicated Gd₂O₃ and Sm₂O₃ were chlorinated by MgCl₂ and formed GdCl₃ and SmCl₃. XRD patterns of non-dissolved residues, which were left after the melts were washed with water to remove the soluble salt, showed that the new compounds (i.e., GdOCl, SmOCl, MgO, Gd(OH)₃, and Sm(OH)₃) were produced. Potentiostatic electrolysis experiments were performed to extract Gd from Gd₂O₃ and Sm₂O₃ mixtures assisted by MgCl₂. Separation between Gd₂O₃ and Sm₂O₃ was also achieved in a single step with the formation of Mg–Li–Gd alloys. XRD patterns of alloys indicated that Mg₃Gd phase was formed. Scanning electron microscope images with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed Gd elements were mainly distributed in the grain boundary.

Blood, kidney, and liver factors were measured 4 days post injection and at the mean-while tissue sections were prepared from their kidney and liver. The results indicate that, the Fe₃O₄@DMSA–^99mTc nanoparticles were passed through the membrane of different cells but do not create any disorder in the kidney and liver function even in high doses such as 300 mg/kg.

Anodic synthesis and XPS analysis of La_(1-x)Na_xCu_2O_4

The single phase La1-x NaxCu2O4 crystals were synthesized by an electrochemical method from molten KOH/NaOH/KNO3 at 280-300℃ while La2-yNayCuO4 were prepared by precipitation from the same molten salt.

These differences have been attributed to the changes in crystal structures, bond lengths and covalent character of the metal-ligand bonds.
