Deposition-coprecipitation

The previous examples are all supported gold catalysts. Supported bimetallic catalysts have been explored as well. Scurrell and coworkers developed a series of Au-M/ Fe Oj (M=Ag, Bi, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Ru, Sn, Tl) catalysts for WGS [70,71], These catalysts were prepared by deposition-coprecipitation using HAuCl, FeCNOjjj, and metal salts as precursors, followed by calcination in air at 400°C. Au-Ru/Fe Oj showed the highest activity. However, there is no evidence showing that the so-called bimetallic catalysts are bimetallic. The thermal decomposition of metal salts in air usually leads to the formation of metal oxides instead [61]. 

By adopting a similar approach, Reddy et alP prepared alumina-supported nanosized ceria-terbia solid solutions by deposition coprecipitation at ambient conditions. The literature reveals several... 

Stripping voltammetry procedure has been developed for determination of thallium(I) traces in aqueous medium on a mercury film electrode with application of thallium preconcentration by coprecipitation with manganese (IV) hydroxide. More than 90% of thallium present in water sample is uptaken by a deposit depending on conditions of prepai ation of precipitant. Direct determination of thallium was carried out by stripping voltammetry in AC mode with anodic polarization of potential in 0,06 M ascorbic acid in presence of 5T0 M of mercury(II) on PU-1 polarograph. 

The coprecipitation (CP) method was the first method that was found to be effective in depositing nanosized gold particles on base metal oxide surfaces [1, 16]. In this method, an aqueous solution of HAuCLj and the nitrate of a base metal is poured, under vigorous stirring, into an aqueous solution of Na2C03 at 70°C in a short period (within 3 min). The adequate concentration of both the solutions is 0.1-0.4M. The pH of the mixed solution can be maintained at about 9 by using... 

With nickel/alumina catalysts (cf. 4 ) preparation by coprecipitation or by the decomposition of a high dispersion of nickel hydroxide on fresh alumina hydrogel, yields nickel aluminate exclusively. On the other hand, when, as in impregnation, larger particles of nickel compound are deposited, the calcination product is a mixture of nickel oxide and nickel aluminate. The proportion of nickel oxide increases when occlusion of the impregnation solution leads to a very nonuniform distribution (49).

A method described by Florence and Farrer [584] separated tin from its associated lead by distillation from an aqueous sulfuric acid medium into which the vapour from boiling 50% hydrobromic acid is passed. The distillate provides an ideal supporting electrolyte for the determination of tin (II) (produced by reduction with hydrazinium hydroxide) by anodic stripping at a rotating vitreous-carbon electrode in the presence of codeposited mercury [585,586]. The tin is deposited at -0.70 V versus the SCE for 5 minutes, and then stripped at -0.50 V during a sweep from -0.70 V to -0.45 V at 5 V per minute. Tin in seawater is coprecipitated on ferric hydroxide, and the precipitate is then dissolved in the aqueous sulfuric acid, and subjected to the above procedure. The average content for Pacific coastal waters was found to be 0.58 xg/l. 

Tsunogai and Nozaki [6] analysed Pacific Oceans surface water by consecutive coprecipitations of polonium with calcium carbonate and bismuth oxychloride after addition of lead and bismuth carriers to acidified seawater samples. After concentration, polonium was spontaneously deposited onto silver planchets. Quantitative recoveries of polonium were assumed at the extraction steps and plating step. Shannon et al. [7], who analysed surface water from the Atlantic Ocean near the tip of South Africa, extracted polonium from acidified samples as the ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate complex into methyl isobutyl ketone. They also autoplated polonium onto silver counting disks. An average efficiency of 92% was assigned to their procedure after calibration with 210Po-210Pb tracer experiments. 

YDC has been prepared by various methods, including solid-state reaction, coprecipitation, glycine-nitrate process and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Table 1.4 shows that the properties depend on the preparation method [118,119,127,129,130], Zha et al. [129] have studied the influence of sintering...

For the study of the electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen and oxidation of methanol, our approach to the preparation of catalysts by two-phase protocol " provides a better controllability over size, composition or surface properties in comparison with traditional approaches such as coprecipitation, deposition-precipitation, and impregnation. " The electrocatalytic activities were studied in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. This chapter summarizes some of these recent results, which have provided us with further information for assessing gold-based alloy catalysts for fuel cell reactions. 

Trace metals, such as copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, and various rare earth elements, tend to coprecipitate with or adsorb onto Fe-Mn oxides. As shown in Table 18.1, this causes these elements to be highly enriched in the hydrogenous deposits as compared to their concentrations in seawater. The degree of enrichment is dependent on various environmental factors, such as the redox history of the underlying sediments and hydrothermal activity. This makes the composition of the oxides geographically variable. 

Polymetallic sulfides Hydrogenous metal sulfides that form from the precipitation of metals and sulfides that are hydrothermal in origin. The metals (Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, and Mn) tend to coprecipitate to form heterogeneous sulfide deposits. 

Cadmium is found naturally deep in the subsurface in zinc, lead, and copper ores, in coal, shales, and other fossil fuels it also is released during volcanic activity. These deposits can serve as sources to ground and surface waters, especially when in contact with soft, acidic waters. Chloride, nitrate, and sulfate salts of cadmium are soluble, and sorption to soils is pH-dependent (increasing with alkalinity). Cadmium found in association with carbonate minerals, precipitated as stable solid compounds, or coprecipitated with hydrous iron oxides is less likely to be mobilized by resuspension of sediments or biological activity. Cadmium absorbed to mineral surfaces (e.g., clay) or organic materials is more easily bioaccumulated or released in a dissolved state when sediments are disturbed, such as during flooding. 

Strength, brittleness, and solvent permeability properties are limited because of lack of control of the ceramic composition on a macro- and microlevel. Even small particle sizes are large compared with the molecular level. There have been a number of attempts to produce uniform ceramic powders including the sol-gel synthesis in which processing involves a stable liquid medium, coprecipitation in which two or more ions are precipitated simultaneously. More recently, Carraher and Xu have used the thermal degradation of metal containing polymers to deposit metal atoms and oxides on a molecular level.

After neutron irradiation bismuth (canned in aluminum jackets) is dissolved in a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids and excess NO3 is removed by adding a reducing agent, such as, urea or formic acid. If bismuth is used as an anode, the reducing agent is dissolved in HCl. Various methods are applied for concentration of polonium in the acid mixture and its subsequent separation from bismuth. Such processes include spontaneous deposition of polonium over a less electropositive metal and coprecipitation with tellurium. In the latter method, a Te + or Te + salt is added to the extract, followed by addition of stannous chloride, which reduces both the tellurium and polonium to their metallic state, coprecipitating them from bismuth in the extract mixture.
