Published by SciPress Ltd, Switzerland, 2014 Digital language of Atomic Weights of the Chemical Elements Lutvo Kurić Institute of Economics, University of Sarajevo, Trg Oslobođenja 1, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is a digital approach to the investigation of the digital basis of digital Periodic Table – periods 4 and 5. A period 4 element is one of the chemical elements in the fourth row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements. The fourth period contains 18 elements, beginning with potassium and ending with krypton. As a rule, period 4 elements fill their 4s shells first, then their 3d and 4p shells, in that order, however there are exceptions, such as chromium. A period 5 element is one of the chemical elements in the fifth row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements. The fifth period contains 18 elements, beginning with rubidium and ending with xenon. As a rule, period 5 elements fill their 5s shells first, then their 4d, and 5p shells, in that order, however there are exceptions, such as rhodium. The digital mechanism of those periods have been analyzed by the application of cybernetic methods, information theory and system theory, respectively. This paper is to report that we discovered new methods for development of the new technologies in chemistry. It is about the most advanced digital technology which is based on program, cybernetics and informational systems and laws.

    ii BIOSORPTION OF FERRUM (II) FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER BY USING WATER SPINACH (Ipomoea aquatica) MUHAMAD HAFIZ BIN HALIM Final year project report submitted as a partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Natural Resources Universiti Malaysia Pahang DECEMBER 2010 vii ABSTRACT The increasing amount of industrial wastewater discharges to the environment have contibuted to the increasing amount heavy metals in clean water sources such as river, pond and lake. This matter is seems to be a major problem as heavy metals in water source can cause illnesses, diseases and disorders to human and other organism. Thus, industrial wastewaters containing heavy metal should be treated before discharged to the environment. However, treatment methods of removing heavy metals are very costly and due to requirement discovery of new method that is not costly and also efficient. This research is about the capability of a new technique called biosorption in removing ferrum from industrial wastewater. The biological material that is used as the biosorbent is water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) and the sample of wastewater is obtained from Huntsman Tioxide (M) Sdn. Bhd. The analysis of the wastewater shows that the concentration of ferrum is 16 g/L. The parameters analyzed in this research is the amount of biosorbent used to absorb ferrum from the wastewater and the time contact between biosorbents and wastewater. The experiment is done by planting water spinach in 9 liters of wastewater in a plastic container. The amount of biosrbents are varies from 100g to 600g while the contact time is from 1 day to 8 days.

  • Gacl3-Promoted Addition Reactions of Carbon Nucleophiles to Alkyne Yoshiyuki Kido, Mieko Arisawa, and Masahiko Yamaguchi* Depart
    GaCl3-Promoted Addition Reactions of Carbon Nucleophiles to Alkyne YoshiyukiKido, Mieko Arisawa, and Masahiko Yamaguchi* Departmentof OrganicChemistry, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tohoku University, Received June 6, 2000 Abstract : GaCl3 promotes addition reactions of carbon nucleophiles to a C-C triple bond. Interaction of alkyne with GaCl3 generates a highly reactive electrophile, which aromatic hydrocarbon attacks to give an alkenylated arene. Silylethyne reacts predominantly at the p-position of toluene, while disilylated 1, 3-butadiyne exhibits ƒÍ-selectivity. The behavior of a silylated 1, 2-propadiene is intermediate between that of the silylethyne and the disilylated 1, 3-butadiyne. In the presence of GaCl3, electrophilic trimerization of silylethyne takes place to give a conjugated hexatriene. In this reaction, silylethyne attacks the GaCl3-acti- vated C-C triple bond. Carbometalation is another interesting addition reaction of an organogallium com- pound to alkyne. Alkynyldichlorogallium dimerizes in hydrocarbon solvents to give 1,1-dimetallo-1-buten- 3-yne. In the presence of GaCl3, silyl enol ether is ethenylated at the ƒ¿-carbon atom with trimethylsi- lylethyne. Treatment of lithium phenoxide with silylethyne in the presence of GaCl3 gives ƒÍ-(ƒÀ-silylethenyl) phenol. These reactions involve carbogallation of alkynylgallium, gallium enolate, or gallium phenoxide. 1. Introduction 2. Nucleophilic Addition Reactions to Alkyne Activated by GaCl3 Gallium is a group 13 element, and sits just below alu- minum in the periodic table. Its derivatives have rarely been 2.1 Aromatic Alkenylation Reactions used in organic synthesis,1,2 although aluminum derivatives GaCl3 activates a C-C triple bond electrophilically and are quite popular. Attempts to utilize organogallium com- promotes nucleophilic attack of ƒÎ-compounds such as pounds generally revealed that they are less reactive than arene4,5 or alkyne.6 GaCl3-activated silylethyne reacts with organoaluminum compounds.

  • History of Metals
    Aluminium Aluminium or aluminum is a silvery white and ductile member of the boron group of chemical elements. It has the symbol Al ; its atomic number is 13. It is not soluble in water under normal circumstances. Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, and the third most abundant element therein, after oxygen and silicon. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth’s solid surface. Aluminium is too reactive chemically to occur in nature as a free metal. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals.[4] The chief source of aluminium is bauxite ore. Aluminium is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation and for the metal's low density. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in other areas of transportation and building. Its reactive nature makes it useful as a catalyst or additive in chemical mixtures, including being used in ammonium nitrate explosives to enhance blast power. Aluminium alloys Aluminium alloys are mixtures of aluminium with other metals (called an alloy), often with copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or magnesium. They are much lighter and more corrosion resistant than plain carbon steel, but not as corrosion resistant as pure aluminium. Bare aluminium alloy surfaces will keep their apparent shine in a dry environment due to the formation of a clear, protective oxide layer. Galvanic corrosion can be rapid when aluminium alloy is placed in electrical contact with stainless steel, or other metals with a more negative corrosion potential than the aluminium alloy, in a wet environment.
