The shortened Ce–N distances for 2 compared to 1 were consistent with the stronger Lewis acidity of Li+ cations in 1 versus Na+ cations in 2. The Li+ cations reduced the relative charge density at the nitrogen atoms for binding with the cerium cation, compared to the Na+ cation in 2.

  • Uptake of Nanoparticles of Cerium Oxide and Yttrium Oxide by Acanthamoeba Castellanii (Protozoa) and Daphnia Magna (Crustacea) James R
    Virginia Journal of Science Volume 62, 1 & 2 Spring 2011 Uptake of Nanoparticles of Cerium Oxide and Yttrium Oxide by Acanthamoeba castellanii (Protozoa) and Daphnia magna (Crustacea) James R. Palmieri1, Geneva Gehring, Catherine Minichino, and Shaadi F. Elswaifi Department of Microbiology, Infectious, and Emerging Diseases, Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, 2265 Kraft Drive, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA 24060 ABSTRACT Currently, nanoparticles are synthesized and used at an unprecedented rate for industrial, medical, and research applications. The use of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONP) and yttrium oxide nanoparticles (YtONP) results in their spread as contaminants into the environment. Once in the environment, CeONP and YtONP can be taken up by organisms in the food chain where they may pose a public health risk. In this study we determine whether Acanthamoeba castellanii and Daphnia magna uptake CeONP or YtONP from their environment and thereby play a role in the transmission of the nanoparticles. Using electron microscopy, organisms exposed to the nanoparticles were examined. Our results indicate that the nanoparticles are associated with cell and organelle membranes. These findings have implications for the health risks associated with environmental contamination by CeONP and YtONP. INTRODUCTION In this study we determine whether protists and crustaceans play a role in the transfer of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONP) and yttrium oxide nanoparticles (YtONP) from the environment to other organisms within the aquatic food chain. Acanthamoeba castellanii, a common protist, and Daphnia magna, a planktonic crustacean, are important components in many aquatic ecosystems. Because acanthamoebae, such as A. castellanni, are aggressive feeders they consume inorganic and organic compounds from their environment, thereby serving as a link by transferring normally unavailable inorganic components to the food chain (Weekers et al.

  • Corrosion Protection Mechanisms of Rare-Earth Compounds Based on Cerium and Praseodymium (WP-1618) Objective
    Corrosion Protection Mechanisms of Rare-Earth Compounds Based on Cerium and Praseodymium (WP-1618) Objective Hexavalent chromium containing coatings are widely used to protect U.S. military weapons systems from corrosion, yet present acute health and environmental hazards. This project focused on determining corrosion protection mechanisms for coatings that utilize rare-earth (RE) compounds instead of hexavalent chromium. Understanding the mechanisms by which RE compounds inhibit corrosion would reduce the risk of implementing environmentally friendly coating systems as chromate replacements. Technical Approach Two specific coating systems were examined; cerium-based conversion coatings (CeCCs) and epoxy polyamide primers containing praseodymium-based inhibitors. Prior to the start of the project, both coating systems had demonstrated corrosion protection that could meet current U.S. military requirements for aircraft. The approach taken in this project assumed that RE compounds are not inherently protective. Instead, the appropriate phase of a RE compound has to be incorporated into the proper type of coating to provide corrosion protection in specific environments. As part of the project, mechanistic models for corrosion protection were devised by fully characterizing the phases that were present in as-deposited coatings, the transport processes that occurred during corrosive attack, and the species that formed to passivate the substrates. Results Discovery of sub-surface crevices in substrates with CeCCs led to a significant change

  • Interactions of Lanthanides and Liquid Alkali Metals for “Liquid-Like” Lanthanide Transport in U-Zr Fuel
    Interactions of Lanthanides and Liquid Alkali Metals for “Liquid-Like” Lanthanide Transport in U-Zr Fuel THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeremy Payton Isler Graduate Program in Nuclear Engineering The Ohio State University 2017 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Jinsuo Zhang, Advisor Dr. Marat Khafizov, Co-Advisor Copyrighted by Jeremy Payton Isler 2017 Abstract One of the major limitations in achieving increased burnup in metallic U-Zr nuclear fuel is Fuel-Cladding Chemical Interaction (FCCI). The migration of the fission product lanthanides from within the fuel to the peripheral is one of the major contributors to FCCI. A “liquid-like” transport mechanism proposes the lanthanide transport is aided by liquid cesium and liquid sodium in the pores of the fuel and at the fuel peripheral. The purpose of this thesis was to provide additional experimental evidence towards this proposed mechanism. This thesis investigated the interaction between the lanthanides and cesium and sodium, with a focus on the solubility of the lanthanides in these liquid alkali metals. First, a prediction of the solubility was calculated using the Miedema model. This prediction was then compared to the inversion crucible solubility experiment performed in this thesis. The solubility experiment studied the temperature and liquid-composition dependence of the lanthanides in liquid sodium, cesium and sodium-cesium mixtures. In addition, the solubility in mixtures shows the various alkali metals concentration effect on the solubility. With the results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments, updated phase diagrams for sodium-neodymium and cesium-neodymium were obtained from the experimental data in this thesis.

In the past few decades, addition of rare earths (REs), lanthanum and cerium in particular, has been considered as a practical and effective method to refine the as-cast steels. However, previous reports contained inconsistent, sometime even contradictory, results. This review summaries the major published results on investigation of the roles of lanthanum or/and cerium in various steels, provides reviews on the similarity and difference of previous studies, and clarifies the inconsistent results. The proposed mechanisms of grain refinement by the addition of lanthanum or/and cerium are also reviewed. It is concluded that the grain refinement of steels by RE additions is attributed to either heterogeneous nucleation on the in-situ formed RE inclusions, a solute effect, or the combined effect of both. The models/theories for evaluation of heterogeneous nucleation potency and for solute effect on grain refinement of cast metals are also briefly summarized.

  • Three Related Topics on the Periodic Tables of Elements
    Three related topics on the periodic tables of elements Yoshiteru Maeno*, Kouichi Hagino, and Takehiko Ishiguro Department oｆ physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan * [email protected] (The Foundations of Chemistry: received 30 May 2020; accepted 31 July 2020) Abstaract: A large variety of periodic tables of the chemical elements have been proposed. It was Mendeleev who proposed a periodic table based on the extensive periodic law and predicted a number of unknown elements at that time. The periodic table currently used worldwide is of a long form pioneered by Werner in 1905. As the first topic, we describe the work of Pfeiffer (1920), who refined Werner’s work and rearranged the rare-earth elements in a separate table below the main table for convenience. Today’s widely used periodic table essentially inherits Pfeiffer’s arrangements. Although long-form tables more precisely represent electron orbitals around a nucleus, they lose some of the features of Mendeleev’s short-form table to express similarities of chemical properties of elements when forming compounds. As the second topic, we compare various three-dimensional helical periodic tables that resolve some of the shortcomings of the long-form periodic tables in this respect. In particular, we explain how the 3D periodic table “Elementouch” (Maeno 2001), which combines the s- and p-blocks into one tube, can recover features of Mendeleev’s periodic law. Finally we introduce a topic on the recently proposed nuclear periodic table based on the proton magic numbers (Hagino and Maeno 2020). Here, the nuclear shell structure leads to a new arrangement of the elements with the proton magic-number nuclei treated like noble-gas atoms.

The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.

However, the production of REE is attractive due to their numerous applications in advanced materials and new technologies. The presence of the radioactive elements, thorium and uranium, in the REE deposits, is a production challenge. Their separation is crucial to gaining a product with minimum radioactivity in the downstream processes, and to mitigate the environmental and safety issues. In the present study, different techniques for separation of the radioactive elements from REE are reviewed, including leaching, precipitation, solvent extraction, and ion chromatography. In addition, the waste management of the separated radioactive elements is discussed with a particular conclusion that such a waste stream can be
