Gallium concentration

Radiochemical yields are within 46-74%. The average relative standard deviation of the method is 8%. The accuracy of the method was checked by analysis of a U. S. Geological Survey rock standard. Gallium concentrations in 101 coals, calculated from the concentration in the coal ash and the percentage of low-temperature ash in the coal, range from 1.1 to 7.5 ppm, the median value being between 2.9 and 3.0 ppm (16). 

Gallium is not readily absorbed orally, but when administered parenterally it is easily taken up by various tissues. Once absorbed, gallium concentrates in the bone (where it appears to be quite stable). Gallium also concentrates in the liver, kidneys, and spleen but is soon released and excreted in the urine. 

Gallium is a mutagen in different species of animals, gallium was responsible for renal damage, blindness, and paralysis. Gallium concentrates in tumors in experimental animals. 

A small amount of gallium (m.p. 29.8 °C) is heated to about 40°C and poured into the Petri dish. The liquid metal is now covered with a mixture of the 30 % sulfuric acid and the potassium dichromate solution and the iron nail (or wire) is laid on the edge of the Petri dish so that its point just touches the gallium. Concentrated sulfuric acid is now added dropwise the gallium metal begins to...

Monodisperse wurtzite CuInxGai xS2 (GIGS) nanocrystals have been synthesized from metal-acetylacetonate complexes and a mixture of sulfur sources as 1-dodecanethiol and tert-dodecanethiol. The morphology of the nanocrystals can be controlled in the form of bullet-like, rod-like, and tadpole-like shapes. The band gap of the nanocrystals increased with the increase in gallium concentration.

Precipitator dust often contains concentrated amounts of minor ore components that make it attractive. The potassium, phosphate, and 2inc content have resulted in its use in ferti1i2er, and the sdver and gallium content have been the subject of some recovery efforts (see Recycling). 

Fluorimetry is generally used if there is no colorimetric method sufficiently sensitive or selective for the substance to be determined. In inorganic analysis the most frequent applications are for the determination of metal ions as fluorescent organic complexes. Many of the complexes of oxine fluoresce strongly aluminium, zinc, magnesium, and gallium are sometimes determined at low concentrations by this method. Aluminium forms fluorescent complexes with the dyestuff eriochrome blue black RC (pontachrome blue black R), whilst beryllium forms a fluorescent complex with quinizarin. 

With gallium chloride, ferric chloride and antimony pentachloride the rate coefficients were dependent upon the concentration of chlorobenzene and the square of the concentration of the catalyst, but the third-order coefficients varied with the initial concentration of the catalyst (Table 103)394. The overall kinetic equation was, therefore,...
