Zachariah* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Iodine pentoxide (I2O5), also known as diiodine pentoxide, is a strong oxidizer which has been recently proposed as an iodine-rich oxidizer in nanoenergetic formulations, whose combustion products lead to molecular iodine as a biocidal agent. However, its highly hygroscopic nature hinders its performance as a strong oxidizer and an iodine releasing agent and prevents its implementation. In this work, we developed a gas phase assisted aerosol spray pyrolysis which enables creation of iron oxide passivated I2O5. Transmission electron microscopy elemental imaging as well as temperature-jump mass spectrometry confirmed the core shell fi nature of the material and the fact that I2O5 could be encapsulated in pure unhydrated form. Combustion performance nds an optimal coating thickness that enables combustion performance similar to a high performing CuO based thermite.

To address this limitation, one approach nent to deliver thermal energy but also release biocidal agents, is to create the passivated structure for I2O5 particles. Several methods that are currently available to fabricate e.g., silver or halogen that can function over a longer period of fi time. For many applications, energetic components involve the passivated nanoparticles can be generally classi ed into two categories: “wet treatment”23 and “gas phase”.24 The use of aluminum as a fuel component with a strong oxidizer, “ ” which releases the biocide.

The effect of pH, dosage of IO4-, dosage of initial phenol and ultrasonic irradiation time on the phenol degradation were examined. Furthermore, the impacts of ion intensity on phenol degradation were examined. The findings indicated that the disgrace ratio advanced in acidic conditions and an upper degradation was achieved in combination processes. The current new investigation examined the effect of ion intensity and the findings determined that the principal intensity of solution is an inactive variable on phenol disgrace with these systems. A comparison research among IO4-/ US system and IO4- and US separately determined the COD removal and indicated that an combined method of IO4-/ US system had the best execution.

  • Used at Rocky Flats
    . TASK 1 REPORT (Rl) IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICALS AND RADIONUCLIDES USED AT ROCKY FLATS I PROJECT BACKGROUND ChemRisk is conducting a Rocky Flats Toxicologic Review and Dose Reconstruction study for The Colorado Department of Health. The two year study will be completed by the fall of 1992. The ChemRisk study is composed of twelve tasks that represent the first phase of an independent investigation of off-site health risks associated with the operation of the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant northwest of Denver. The first eight tasks address the collection of historic information on operations and releases and a detailed dose reconstruction analysis. Tasks 9 through 12 address the compilation of information and communication of the results of the study. Task 1 will involve the creation of an inventory of chemicals and radionuclides that have been present at Rocky Flats. Using this inventory, chemicals and radionuclides of concern will be selected under Task 2, based on such factors as the relative toxicity of the materials, quantities used, how the materials might have been released into the environment, and the likelihood for transport of the materials off-site. An historical activities profile of the plant will be constructed under Task 3. Tasks 4, 5, and 6 will address the identification of where in the facility activities took place, how much of the materials of concern were released to the environment, and where these materials went after the releases. Task 7 addresses historic land-use in the vicinity of the plant and the location of off-site populations potentially affected by releases from Rocky Flats.

The thyroid gland controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones.

Parkeyb and Mehmet Kesmezb Iodic acids are widely studied in atmospheric and biological applications but their inherent hydrophilic properties introduce complexities that affect their functionality and reactivity. We have shown that iodic acid (HIO3) dehydrates directly into iodine pentoxide (I2O5) in contradiction to the generally accepted multi-step dehydration mechanism where HIO3 dehydrates into HI3O8 first, then dehydrates into I2O5. The generally accepted mechanism is used to determine the concentration of iodic acid by TGA and is only valid for special conditions. The revised mechanism allows for the determination of concentrations of iodic acids under all conditions, and the more specific conditions where the accepted mechanism is Received 6th December 2016 valid are shown.

Abstract: Efficient and cost-effective removal of radioactive iodine (radioiodine) from radioactive contaminated water has become a crucial task, following nuclear power plant disasters. Several materials for removing radioiodine have been reported in the literature. However, most of these materials exhibit some limitations, such as high production cost, slow adsorption kinetics, and poor adsorption capacity. Herein, we present silver/iron oxide nanocomposites (Ag/Fe3O4) for the efficient and specific removal of iodine anions from contaminated water. The Ag/Fe3O4 were Citation: Zia, M.R.; Raza, M.A.; Park, synthesized using a modified method and characterized via scanning electron microscopy, transmis- S.H.; Irfan, N.; Ahmed, R.; Park, J.E.; Jeon, J.; Mushtaq, S.
