The Important Role of Dysprosium in Modern Permanent Magnets
The Important Role of Dysprosium in Modern Permanent Magnets Introduction Dysprosium is one of a group of elements called the Rare Earths. Rare earth elements consist of the Lanthanide series of 15 elements plus yttrium and scandium. Yttrium and scandium are included because of similar chemical behavior. The rare earths are divided into light and heavy based on atomic weight and the unique chemical and magnetic properties of each of these categories. Dysprosium (Figure 1) is considered a heavy rare earth element (HREE). One of the more important uses for dysprosium is in neodymium‐iron‐ boron (Neo) permanent magnets to improve the magnets’ resistance to demagnetization, and by extension, its high temperature performance. Neo magnets have become essential for a wide range of consumer, transportation, power generation, defense, aerospace, medical, industrial and other products. Along with terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy) Figure 1: Dysprosium Metal(1) is also used in magnetostrictive devices, but by far the greater usage is in permanent magnets. The demand for Dy has been outstripping its supply. An effect of this continuing shortage is likely to be a slowing of the commercial rollout or a redesigning of a number of Clean Energy applications, including electric traction drives for vehicles and permanent magnet generators for wind turbines. The shortage and associated high prices are also upsetting the market for commercial and industrial motors and products made using them. Background Among the many figures of merit for permanent magnets two are of great importance regarding use of Dy. One key characteristic of a permanent magnet is its resistance to demagnetization, which is quantified by the value of Intrinsic Coercivity (HcJ or Hci). -

Al-Falaki,*1 M. Cronshaw2 and F. J. Hughes3 VERIFIABLE CPD PAPER Aim To date there is no consensus on the appropriate usage of lasers in the management of peri-implantitis. Our aim was to conduct a retrospective clinical analysis of a case series of implants treated using an erbium, chromium:yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet laser. Materials and methods Twenty-eight implants with peri-implantitis in 11 patients were treated with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser (68 sites >4 mm), using a 14 mm, 500 μm diameter, 60º (85%) radial firing tip (1.5 W, 30 Hz, short (140 μs) pulse, 50 mJ/pulse, 50% water, 40% air). Probing depths were recorded at baseline after 2 months and 6 months, along with the presence of bleeding on probing. Results The age range was 27-69 years (mean 55.9); mean pocket depth at baseline was 6.64 ± SD 1.48 mm (range 5-12 mm),with a mean residual depth of 3.29 ± 1.02 mm (range 1-6 mm) after 2 months, and 2.97 ± 0.7 mm (range 1-9 mm) at 6 months. -
Manganese Toxicity May Appear Slowly Over Months and Years
MANGANESE 11 2. RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH 2.1 BACKGROUND AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES TO MANGANESE IN THE UNITED STATES Manganese is a naturally occurring element and an essential nutrient. Comprising approximately 0.1% of the earth’s crust, it is the twelfth most abundant element and the fifth most abundant metal. Manganese does not exist in nature as an elemental form, but is found mainly as oxides, carbonates, and silicates in over 100 minerals with pyrolusite (manganese dioxide) as the most common naturally-occurring form. As an essential nutrient, several enzyme systems have been reported to interact with or depend on manganese for their catalytic or regulatory function. As such, manganese is required for the formation of healthy cartilage and bone and the urea cycle; it aids in the maintenance of mitochondria and the production of glucose. It also plays a key role in wound-healing. Manganese exists in both inorganic and organic forms. An essential ingredient in steel, inorganic manganese is also used in the production of dry-cell batteries, glass and fireworks, in chemical manufacturing, in the leather and textile industries and as a fertilizer. The inorganic pigment known as manganese violet (manganese ammonium pyrophosphate complex) has nearly ubiquitous use in cosmetics and is also found in certain paints. Organic forms of manganese are used as fungicides, fuel-oil additives, smoke inhibitors, an anti-knock additive in gasoline, and a medical imaging agent. The average manganese soil concentrations in the United States is 40–900 mg/kg; the primary natural source of the manganese is the erosion of crustal rock. -

NOBELIUM Element Symbol: No Atomic Number: 102
NOBELIUM Element Symbol: No Atomic Number: 102 An initiative of IYC 2011 brought to you by the RACI KERRY LAMB www.raci.org.au NOBELIUM Element symbol: No Atomic number: 102 The credit for discovering Nobelium was disputed with 3 different research teams claiming the discovery. While the first claim dates back to 1957, it was not until 1992 that the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry credited the discovery to a research team from Dubna in Russia for work they did in 1966. The element was named Nobelium in 1957 by the first of its claimed discoverers (the Nobel Institute in Sweden). It was named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist who invented dynamite, held more than 350 patents and bequeathed his fortune to the establishment of the Nobel Prizes. Nobelium is a synthetic element and does not occur in nature and has no known uses other than in scientific research as only tiny amounts of the element have ever been produced. Nobelium is radioactive and most likely metallic. The appearance and properties of Nobelium are unknown as insufficient amounts of the element have been produced. Nobelium is made by the bombardment of curium (Cm) with carbon nuclei. Its most stable isotope, 259No, has a half-life of 58 minutes and decays to Fermium (255Fm) through alpha decay or to Mendelevium (259Md) through electron capture. Provided by the element sponsor Freehills Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys ARTISTS DESCRIPTION I wanted to depict Alfred Nobel, the namesake of Nobelium, as a resolute young man, wearing the Laurel wreath which is the symbol of victory. -

Received: 6 April 2018; Accepted: 23 July 2018; Published: 31 July 2018 Abstract: Native iron has been identified in an active thermogenic travertine deposit, located at Ilia area (Euboea Island, Greece). The deposit is forming around a hot spring, which is part of a large active metallogenetic hydrothermal system depositing ore-bearing travertines. The native iron occurs in two shapes: nodules with diameter 0.4 and 0.45 cm, and angular grains with length up to tens of µm. The travertine laminae around the spherical/ovoid nodules grow smoothly, and the angular grains are trapped inside the pores of the travertine. -
Suppression Mechanisms of Alkali Metal Compounds
SUPPRESSION MECHANISMS OF ALKALI METAL COMPOUNDS Bradley A. Williams and James W. Fleming Chemistry Division, Code 61x5 US Naval Research Lnhoratory Washington, DC 20375-5342, USA INTRODUCTION Alkali metal compounds, particularly those of sodium and potassium, are widely used as fire suppressants. Of particular note is that small NuHCOi particles have been found to be 2-4 times more effective by mass than Halon 1301 in extinguishing both eountertlow flames [ I] and cup- burner flames [?]. Furthermore, studies in our laboratory have found that potassium bicarbonate is some 2.5 times more efficient by weight at suppression than sodium bicarhonatc. The primary limitation associated with the use of alkali metal compounds is dispersal. since all known compounds have very low volatility and must he delivered to the fire either as powders or in (usually aqueous) solution. Although powders based on alkali metals have been used for many years, their mode of effective- ness has not generally been agreed upon. Thermal effects [3],namely, the vaporization of the particles as well as radiative energy transfer out of the flame. and both homogeneous (gas phase) and heterogeneous (surface) chemistry have been postulated as mechanisms by which alkali metals suppress fires [4]. Complicating these issues is the fact that for powders, particle size and morphology have been found to affect the suppression properties significantly [I]. In addition to sodium and potassium, other alkali metals have been studied, albeit to a consider- ably lesser extent. The general finding is that the suppression effectiveness increases with atomic weight: potassium is more effective than sodium, which is in turn more effective than lithium [4]. -

Distribution Coefficients of Polonium Between 0.75 M HDEHP in Cyclo- Hexane and Aqueous Hydrochloric and Nitric Acids Guogang Jia* and Giancarlo Torri
18 The Open Inorganic Chemistry Journal, 2008, 2, 18-21 Distribution Coefficients of Polonium Between 0.75 M HDEHP in Cyclo- hexane and Aqueous Hydrochloric and Nitric Acids Guogang Jia* and Giancarlo Torri Agency for Environmental Protection and for Technical Services, Via V. Brancati 48, 00144 Roma, Italy Abstract: The distribution coefficients (D) of polonium between 0.75 M di(2-ethyhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) in cy- clohexane and aqueous hydrochloric and nitric acids have been studied. Results indicate that: (1) D values are ranged from 32.7 to 0.00048 when the HCl acidities vary from 0.10 to 10.0 M, showing that polonium can well be extracted by 0.75 M HDEHP in cyclohexane if the aqueous HCl acidities are 0.050 M and it will not be extracted if 0.10 M HCl; (2) D values are ranged from 47.1 to 0.0117 when the HNO3 acidities vary from 0.10 to 10.0 M, showing that polonium can be extractable by 0.75 M HDEHP in cyclohexane and in a wide range acidity of 4 M HNO3. The different extraction behaviours of polonium in 0.75 M HDEHP in cyclohexane and different acidities of HCl and HNO3 were found. The find- ings will be very helpful to improve the methods involving polonium decontamination for determination and separation of americium, curium as well as other radioelements in environmental soil, water and biological samples.

Stoichiometry: the Reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate
CEAC 103 GENERAL CHEMISTRY Experiment 2 Stoichiometry: The Reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate Purpose: To enhance the understanding of stoichiometry, a reaction between iron and copper (II) sulfate solution will be conducted. This will help you to differentiate limiting and excess reactant in a chemical reaction. Finally the theoretical and percent yield of this reaction will be calculated. Theory Stoichiometry is the measurement of quantitative relationships in chemical formulas and equations. In this experiment stoichiometric principles will be used to obtain the appropriate equation between the reaction of iron metal and copper(II) sulfate solution. After the reaction is taking place, the formation of metallic copper, which is seen precipitating as a finely divided reddish-orange powder will be observed. This reaction is one of the example of single substitution reaction in which one element “displaces” from a compound by another element. The element which has ability of displacing other element from compound is said to be “more active” than the displaced metal. In this experiment, iron is more active than copper. Two distinct forms of iron are present, namely Fe2+ and Fe3+. Stoichiometric principles will be used to determine which reaction is more dominant compared to other one by examining the reaction between iron and copper (II) sulfate solution. If Fe2+ is formed, then equation (1) is dominant, while equation (2) will be selected if Fe3+ is formed. This can be determined 1 according to mole ratio of copper to iron. If the moles of copper is equal to the moles of iron, then equation (1) has taken place.
