Molybdenum preserved in organic-rich shales is a key archive employed in studying Earth's past oxygenation and Life's evolution. In these shales, positive correlations between Mo and Corg are common and have been attributed to Mo scavenging from seawater by organic shuttles. Here, we a...

This study has reported a simple strategy for the fabrication of nickle-molybdenum oxide/sulfide composites (Ni-Mo-O-S) with microsphere structure, using a simple two-step method including a facile hydrothermal process and a post solution sulfidation treatment. The electrochemical performance of...

Amorphous molybdenum sulphide materials are attracting more attention in heterogeneous catalysis, gas adsorption and water remediation fields. Herein, a new type of amorphous molybdenum sulphide composite (poly(diallyldimethylammonium-MoS4), shorten as PDADMA-MoS4) was synthesized via a facile p...

A series of catalysts were prepared using molybdenum sulfide clusters as precursors and their catalytic performance for higher alcohols synthesis was evaluated. It was found that the cluster precursors could provide well-dispersed MoS2 particles and a number of coordinated unsaturated Mo sites w...

In the present study molybdenum sulphide nanoparticles were synthesized using ultrasound assisted (US) and conventional stirring (NUS) method. Synthesis of molybdenum sulphide nanoparticles was accomplished in three steps. The prepared molybdenum sulphide nanoparticles by both the methods were c...

Bone substitutes market is growing due to the great demand for bone regenerative therapies. However, most of the actual products available in the market are incapable of inhibiting bacterial colonization, which can lead to tissue infection and possible implant failure. Some bone substitutes are ...

Porous magnesium oxide with a cellular macrostructure has been successfully prepared by a double replication route. In the first step, the synthesis of micro-/macroporous carbon monoliths was realized through a nanocasting approach using micro-/meso-/macroporous silica with a fully connected hie...

The magnesium oxide (MgO), which is a thermodynamically stable material, has great property of sensing in liquid medium. To keep this point, the present work was designed to show the preparation of cubic shaped MgO nanoparticles (CNMgO) by wet chemical reaction and their sensing purposes in pres...

Nanocrystalline magnesium oxide was prepared by the sol–gel method from magnesium methoxide and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Sol–gel derived nanocrystalline magnesium oxide along with ...

This study aimed to examine the hypothesis that extra molecular hydrogen (H2) produced by elemental magnesium (Mg) could alter rumen fermentation and methanogenesis in in vitro batch incubation. As elevated Mg2+ may exert negative effects on rumen fermentation, magnesium oxide (MgO) was also inc...

Magnesium oxide was prepared and used as a catalyst for the dehydrogenation of n-octane. The catalyst was characterized by ICP-OES, BET, powder XRD, IR, H2-TPR and SEM. The catalyst was tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-octane using a continuous flow fixed bed reactor at a GHSV of 60...

In order to solve the problem of ammonia-nitrogen pollution in the enrichment process of the ion-adsorption type rare earth ore, the technology of non-ammonia precipitation with magnesium oxide precipitant was carried out. It is determined that the rare earth precipitation efficiency is 99.6% an...

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) have attracted considerable interest as antimicrobial agents in a wide variety of applications. We report a simple synthetic route towards MgO NPs (average diameter 10 nm) possessing potent antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positiv...

After Montreal protocol, more and more new materials have been applied as the substitutes of Halon. Much attention has been paid to fire extinguishing efficiency of alkali metal salts and ammonium phosphate salts, but the effects of particle sizes have not been studied sufficiently. The fire-ext...

A new nanocomposite was prepared by combining Magnesium silicate hydroxide (MSH) with decomposed gelatin under one-pot hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The chemical reaction process involved the MSH formation and the gelation decomposing into carbonaceous species. The characterization of resul...

Coagulation-flocculation (CF) is an essential process for water and wastewater treatment plants. Whilst compared with the conventional coagulants, the freshly generated magnesium hydroxide (FGMH) is environmental friendly within its coagulative and adsorptive jellied sediment. However, decolorat...

In this paper, a dynamic model of fouling is presented to predict the crystallization of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide inside the condenser tubes of Once-Through Multistage Flash (MSF-OT) desalination process. The model considers the combination of kinetic and mass diffusion rates ta...

The paper describes series of four-ball tribological and dichromatic interference test results obtained under different contact pressures and performed for polyalphaolefin (PAO) suspended synthetic magnesium silicate hydroxide (MSH) nanoparticles. Results show that MSH as additives in oil exhibi...
