Article Abstract
The complexation of Am and Eu was studied with three generations of diglycolamide (DGA)-functionalized poly(propylene imine) diaminobutane dendrimers (DGA-Den) with two, four and eight DGA moieties by solvent extraction and luminescence spectroscopy in a room temperature ionic liquid, viz. 3-butyl-1-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Cmim][TfN]). The extraction of trivalent f-cations was found to increase with decreasing HNO concentrations conforming to a cation exchange mechanism with the extraction of Eu being higher than that of Am in the acid concentration range of 0.01-6.0 M HNO. The nature of the extracted species showed unusual trends compared to those reported previously in molecular diluents. Fluorescence lifetime data suggested the absence of HO in the extracted complexes meaning strong inner-sphere complexes. The nature of the extracted complexes predicted by solvent extraction was supported by DFT computations.

With the increasing volume of biomedical experimental data, standardizing, sharing, and integrating heterogeneous experimental data across domains has become a major challenge. To address this challenge, we have developed an ontology-supported Study-Experiment-Assay (SEA) common data model (CDM), which includes 10 core and 3 auxiliary classes based on object-oriented modeling. SEA CDM uses interoperable ontologies for data standardization and knowledge inference.

Scandium(III) (Sc(III)) is the smallest among the trivalent ions in Group 3, which includes yttrium(III) and lanthanides (III) with a hydration number of 8 and 8-9, respectively. The hydration number of Sc(III) in aqueous solutions reported so far varies from six to ten and remains an open question. In general, applying pressure and temperature to aqueous solutions perturbs the water structure and ion solvation, providing insight into the nature of ion solvation.

The presence of dissolved trivalent manganese (Mn) in soils has been neglected largely due to its rapid disproportionation. However, natural organic ligands (NOLs) complex and stabilize Mn by the formation of stable Mn-NOL complexes. Our objectives were (i) to investigate the influence of NOLs on the dissolution of synthetic Mn oxides, (ii) to perform the speciation analysis of the resulting dissolved total Mn (Mn) pool, and (iii) to elucidate the principles governing abiotic formation of Mn-NOL complexes.

Maintaining pH in an operable range is key in many industrial processes, where automating pH correction and control can enable significant advances in process efficiency. One such process is solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, the pH can directly influence separation by altering the extraction of different species.

The sustainable recovery of gallium (Ga), a critical metal used in semiconductors, electronics, and renewable energy technologies, is increasingly important due to rising demand and limited natural reserves. Conventional methods, such as solvent extraction and ion exchange, suffer from high cost, environmental hazards, and limited recyclability. In this study, we report a novel bio-based adsorbent-hydroxamic acid-functionalized chitosan hydrogel beads (CSQ-HA)-developed by covalently grafting 4-hydroxybenzohydroxamic acid onto chitosan.
