In the present study, novel chitosan coated magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were successfully biosynthesized from mushroom, Agaricus campestris, extract. The obtained bio-nanocomposite material was used to investigate ultra-fast and highly efficient for removal of Ni2+ ions in a fixed-bed column. Chitosan was treated as polyelectrolyte complex with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and a Fungal Bio-Nanocomposite Material (FBNM) was derived. The FBNM was characterized by using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) techniques and under varied experimental conditions. The influence of some important operating conditions including pH, flow rate and initial Ni2+ concentration on the uptake of Ni2+ solution was also optimized using a synthetic water sample. A Central Composite Design (CCD) combined with Response Surface Modeling (RSM) was carried out to maximize Ni2+ removal using FBNM for adsorption process. A regression model was derived using CCD to predict the responses and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and lack of fit test was used to check model adequacy. It was observed that the quadratic model, which was controlled and proposed, was originated from experimental design data. The FBNM maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 59.8 mg g-1. Finally, developed method was applied to soft drinks to determine Ni2+ levels. Reusability of FBNM was tested, and the adsorption and desorption capacities were not affected after eight cycles. The paper suggests that the FBNM is a promising recyclable nanoadsorbent for the removal of Ni2+ from various soft drinks.

The effects of Dy$_2$O$_3$and Er$_2$O$_3$addition on the electromagnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrite were investigated in the doping concentration range from 0.05 wt% to 0.25 wt%. All samples were prepared by standard fabrication of ferrite ceramics. The XRD patterns of sample were observed spinel and secondary phase. The densities of sample were showed nearly constant values. As the increased additive, electrical resistivity, initial permeability and real component of the series complex permeability increased with setting limits each other. Excess doped with Dy$_2$O$_3$ and Er$_2$O$_3$, those values decreased. The maximum electrical resistivity was observed with 0.15 we% and initial permeability was observed with 0.05 wt%. Magnetic loss decreased with additive and then increased in proportion to increased.

Adsorption behavior of counterions under a Langmuir monolayer was investigated by sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. By comparing SFG spectra of arachidic acid (AA) Langmuir monolayer/water interface with and without added salt, it was found that the simple trivalent cation $La^{3+}$ adsorbed on AA monolayer only when the carboxylic headgroups are charged (deprotonated), implying that counterion adsorption is induced by Coulomb interaction. On the other hand, metal hydroxide complex $Fe(OH)_3$ adsorbed even on a charge-neutral AA monolayer, indicating that the adsorption of iron hydroxide is due to chemical interaction such as covalent or hydrogen bonding to the headgroup of the molecules at the monolayer.

Germanium is found in a range of minerals and ores and is present in foods including beans, tomato juice, oysters, tuna and garlic. Germanium is a non-metallic element, which can exist in valence states of 2 and 4. Clinical trials and use in private practices for more than a decade have demonstrated organic germanium's efficacy in treating serious disease including cancer, arthritis and senile osteoporosis. But it was rarely reported that inorganic germanium has biological properties. STB-BM contains mineral complex, rare earth elements and a little amount of Inorganic germanium. The experiment was carried out the anti-obesity effect. To investigate anti-obesity effect of STB-BM, we measured the effect of body weight, fat weight (subcutaneous fat, epididymal fat, visceral fat, kidney fat and total fat) and serum biochemical level in rats fed high fat diets. STB-BM 35 mg/kg suppressed the increasing ratio of body weight, epididymal fat weight, visceral fat weight, total fat weight, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol (p<0.05).

하동군 옥종면 월횡리에는 과거 개발하던 티탄철석 광산이 위치하며, 주변 지질은 선캄브리아기 지리산 편마암 복합체가 광범위하게 분포하고 이를 회장암이 관입하고 있다. 간극누적형 회장암체 내 티탄철 광체가 발달하고 있으며, Ti-광체 내 희토류원소를 포함하는 갈렴석이 맥상으로 발달하고 있다. 갈렴석의 CaO 함량은 11.02~12.81 wt%로 낮은 반면, ${\Sigma}R_2O_3$는 상대적으로 높은 17.21~21.58 wt% (R=Ce, La, Nd)의 범위를 보여준다. 갈렴석이 높은 방사능 이상치를 보여주는 이유는 갈렴석 내에 미립의 광물상으로 존재하는 토륨 광물인 톨라이트(thorite, $ThSiO_4$) 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 톨라이트는 $3{\sim}6{\mu}m$ 크기의 입상으로 누대구조를 보여주며, 화학분석 결과 $ThO_2$는 65~72.78 wt%, $UO_2$는 5.49~12.78 wt%의 함량을 보였다. 이러한 광물학적 특성은 톨라이트를 함 REE 갈렴석을 찾는 방사능 탐사를 함에 있어 좋은 지시자로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

무주군 적상면 사산리에는 선캠브리아기 화강암질 편마암 복합체가 분포하고 이를 쥬라기 편암질 화강암과 페그마타이트가 관입하고 있으며, 페그마타이브 내 Nb-Ta 광화대가 발달하고 있다. 페그마타이트의 구성광물은 거정질의 석영, 장석류, 및 백운모가 우세하며 장석류는 정장석과 알바이트의 탄종성분을 보여준다. Nb-Ta 광물로는 콜럼바이트가 우세하며 백운모는 후기 마그마 기원으로 콜럼바이트와 밀접히 수반되어 산출한다. 조립의 콜럼바이트는 석영, 장석과 함께 산출하는 반면, 미립의 콜럼바이트는 백운모와 함께 산출하는데 조립질에 비해 미립의 콜럼바이트는 상대적으로 낮은 Nb 함량을 보여준다. 조사지역에 발달한 페그마트이트 맥은 폭 4~15 m, 길이가 각각 120 및 250 m인데, 5개 공 총 600 m 시추 결과 맥의 지하 연장은 별로 좋지 못하며 콜럼바이트는 미량으로 산출하고 있다. 따라서 조사지역에서 희유금속에 대한 광산개발가능성은 적다고 판단된다.

In the Republic of Congo, Banded iron formations (BIFs) occur in two areas: the Chaillu Massif and the Ivindo Basement Complex, which are segments of the Archean Congo craton outcropping in the northwestern and southwestern parts of the country. They show interesting potential with significant mineral resources reaching 2 Bt and grades up to 60% Fe. BIFs consist mostly of oxide-rich facies (hematite/magnetite), but carbonate-rich facies are also highlighted. They are found across the country within the similar geological sequences composed of amphibolites, gneisses and greenschists. The Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS)-normalized patterns of BIFs show enrichment in elements such as SiO₂, Fe₂O₃, CaO, P₂O₅, Cr, Cu, Zn, Nb, Hf, U and depletion in TiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO, Na₂O, K₂O, Sc, Th, Ba, Zr, Rb, Ni, V. REE diagrams show slight light REEs (rare earth elements; LREEs) compared to heavy REEs (HREEs), and positive La and Eu anomalies. The lithological associations, as well as the very high (Eu/Eu^*)_SN ratios> 1.8 shown by the BIFs, suggest that they are related to Algoma-type BIFs. The positive correlations between Zr and TiO₂, Al₂O₃, Hf suggest that the contamination comes mainly from felsic rocks, while the absence of correlations between MgO and Cr, Ni argues for negligeable contributions from mafic sources. Pr/Pr^* vs. Ce/Ce^* diagram indicates that the Congolese BIFs were formed in basins with redox heterogeneity, which varies from suboxic to anoxic and from oxic to anoxic conditions. They were formed through hydrothermal vents in the seawater, with relatively low proportions of detrital inputs derived from igneous sources through continental weathering. Some Congolese BIFs show high contents in Cr, Ni and Cu, which suggest that iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) have been leached through hydrothermal processes associated with submarine volcanism. We discussed their tectonic setting and depositional environment and proposed that they were deposited in extensional back-arc basins, which also recorded hydrothermal vent fluids.

Crystal structures of lanthanide complexes with NTA (NTA = nitrilotriacetate) are reported. The complexes of $[Ln(NTA)_2{\cdot}H_2O]^{3-}$ (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Ho) crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pccn. In the structures, the trivalent lanthanide ions are completely encapsulated via coordination to the two nitrogen atoms and the six carboxylate oxygen atoms of the two NTA ligands, and one water oxygen atoms. The complexes form a slightly distorted capped-square-antiprism polyhedron. Of the complexes, $[Eu(NTA)_2{\codt}H_2O]^{3-}$,\;[Tb(NTA)_2{\cdot}H_2O]^{3-}\;and\;[Dy(NTA)_2{\cdot}H_2O]^{3-}$ excited at the 325 He-Cd line produce very characteristic luminescence features, arising mostly from the f ${\to}$ f transitions. The absolute quantum yields of these complexes are determined at room temperature. Surprisingly, the $[Dy(NTA)_2{\cdot}H_2O]^{3-}$ complex is more luminescent than the $[Eu(NTA)_2{\cdot}H_2O]^{3-}\;and\;[Tb(NTA)_2{\cdot}H_2O]^{3-}$ complexes.
