Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:77.65(Geochemistry & Geophysics)In this study, we conducted sequestration experiments of Co by KR21-2 in a Mn/Co binary solution at pH7. The sequestration of Co by newly formed BMOs readily progressed in parallel with the exogenous Mn, with higher efficiency than that in single Co solutions. This is attributed to a synergetic effect on Co sequestration through the formation of asbolane in Mn/Co binary systems.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:17.84(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The layered perovskite PrBaCoO demonstrates a strong negative thermal expansion (NTE) which holds potential for being fabricated into composites with zero thermal expansion. The NTE was found to be intimately associated with the spontaneous magnetic ordering, known as magneto-volume effect (MVE). Here we report with compelling evidences that the continuous-like MVE in PrBaCoO is intrinsically of discontinuous character, originating from an magnetoelectric transition from an antiferromagnetic insulating large-volume (AFILV) phase to a ferromagnetic less-insulating small-volume (FLISV) phase. Furthermore, the magnetoelectric effect (ME) shows high sensitivity to multiple external stimuli such as temperature, carrier doping, hydrostatic pressure, magnetic field etc. In contrast to the well-known ME such as colossal magnetoresistance and multi-ferroic effect which involve symmetry breaking of crystal structure, the ME in the cobaltite is purely isostructural. Our discovery provides a new path way to realizing the ME as well as the NTE, which may find applications in new techniques.

When Mn(VII) was contacted with bacterial cells, cells were damaged and Mn(VII) was reduced by cells to lower valence and precipitated as Mn oxides (biomass Mn oxides). When Co ions were present, Co was incorporated into Mn oxides as Co. These results suggest that Mn(VII) can be used to remove metal ions when introduced to wastewater as disinfectant.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We have conducted X-ray absorption spectroscopy study for perovskite cobaltite PrSrCoO (00.5) to understand Sr doping effect and magnetocaloric measurement for PrSrCoO to reveal the origin of magnetic anomaly at around 110 K. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements at the Co -edge suggest that the average valence value of Co ions increases, the interatomic distance of Co-O bonding decreases, and the local distortion of CoO octahedron increases as Sr is doped in PrCoO. The interatomic distance of Co-O bonding shrinks more greatly for the larger doping region. No temperature dependent electronic and structural changes were observed from Co -edge X-ray absorption spectra in the whole thermal range studied (17-300 K). The magnetocaloric effect of PrSrCoO indicates the change of magnetic structure at 110 K.

A large amount of seriously contaminated sea water with radioactive Cs has been reserved in semi-enclosed coastal sea area which is separated by silt fences and embankments. Insoluble cobalt ferrocyanide (Co-FC) microparticles-impregnated fiber was developed for removing Cs from the contaminated sea water. The resultant Co-FC-impregnated fiber was immersed in either nonradioactive or radioactive Cs solution. The adsorption isotherm well correlated with a Langmuir-type equation. In addition, mass-transfer capacity coefficients were determined by fitting the experimental data of the rate of Cs adsorption onto the Co-FC-impregnated fiber to theoretical adsorption curves based on the Cs concentration difference between the bulk and the interface in seawater as a driving force of the overall adsorption rate. Decontamination factors as functions of fiber weight and the contact time required for the removal of cesium ions from the contaminated seawater in a closed area were estimated.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:41.55(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We present the zero-temperature phase diagram of the one-dimensional -orbital Hubbard model, by using the density-matrix renormalization group and Lanczos techniques. Emphasis is given to the case for the electron density =5, of relevance to Co-based compounds. Several other cases for electron densities between =3 and 6 are also studied. At =5, our results indicate a first-order transition between a paramagnetic (PM) insulator phase and a ferromagnetic (FM) state by tuning the Hund's coupling. The results also suggest a transition from the =5 PM insulator phase to a metallic regime by changing the electron density. The behavior of the spin, charge, and orbital correlation functions in the FM and PM states are discussed.

It is confirmed with the EXAFS analysis and the positron annihilation study that the polymeric structure is developed three-dimensionally by bridging two C molecules with the covalently bonded Co atom.

The commercial detergents, which are cleansing cream, shampoo, neutral detergent, etc., were examined in order to select the body cleaners that are substitutes for the titanium dioxide paste. JNC entrusted Japan Environment Research Corporation Limited with these examinations since 1997. In 1997 and 1998, the commercial detergents were examined for Ce-144, Cs-137 and Ru-106. In 1999, 22 detergents were examined for Co-60 from the result of the past examinations. In this examination, the radioactive solution of Co-60 was dropped on the pig-skin samples. These samples were washed with each detergent after 5 minutes and 40 minutes. The decontamination factors of detergents were estimated by the radioactive ratio of the samples before and after washing. As a result of this examination, the decontamination factors for Co-60 was the same as the decontamination factors for Ce-144 and Cs-137, and 11 detergents were nominated as the cleaner that have the decontamination factor more than that of titanium dioxide paste.
