2.08.1 Introduction. Four-membered rings containing one selenium or tellurium atom can be distinguished into the following: selenetanes 1, telluretanes 2, their unsaturated selenete 3 and tellurete 4 congeners as well as their oxides, selenetane oxides 5 and telluretane oxides 6 ( Scheme 1 ). Although selenetes 3, telluretes 4, selenetane ...

Copper is another cost-efficient reducer, reported for tellurium [33,34] and tellurium/selenium cementation from the aqueous solution. Although some work has been conducted on Te and Se cementation, no solid report was found for Se/Te separation from copper anode slime liquor.

Hoffmann (1989) reported that roasting of the slimes with concentrated sulphuric acid at 500–600 °C volatilized tetravalent oxides of selenium while tellurium remained in sulphatized slimes. Acid roasting uses sulphuric acid as an oxidant for conversion of tellurium or telluride to their respective tetravalent oxides.

Tellurium (Te) is a member of the chalcogen group, which includes oxygen, sulphur, selenium (Se) and polonium [ 1 ]. The first three members of the chalcogen group have crucial functions in biochemistry, biology and medicine, whereas Te is a strange element with no apparent role in biological systems. Moreover, it belongs to the group of …

In the year of his death he published a chapter of Houben Weyl devoted to selenium and tellurium, in which he reported, for the first time, the accumulated knowledge on this field. 1 Rheinboldt's school had a deep influence in the development of chemistry in Brazil, and many chemistry departments can trace back their origins to Rheinboldt's ...

Recently, Lin et al. reported that 2D tellurium nanosheets could be developed for PAI-guided PDTs after the capping of glutathione to prevent tellurium oxidation. Although stable in air, tellurium nanomaterials are often unstable in water and other solvents ( 33 ).

It was reported that selenium is likely reduced to CaSe and dissolved in the CaCl 2 salt bath through electrolytic reduction.12 Oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and tellurium belong to the chalcogen group of the periodic table. Thus, selenium and tellurium dissolve in the form of Se2− and Te2− ions in the reducing conditions.

Sulfur, selenium, a nd tellurium – along with oxyg en and polonium — comprise the Group 16 elements, o therwise known as the "chal coge ns" . The term d erives from

Selenium belongs to the family of chalcogens, including oxygen, sulfur, tellurium, and polonium and forms several allotropes that interconvert with changes in temperature [54,55]. ... Most observational studies have reported that the level of selenium correlates positively with bone health, as it increases bone mineral density or reduces the ...

tellurium was recovered from scrapped selenium-tellurium photoreceptors employed in older plain-paper copiers in Europe. A plant in the United States recycled tellurium from CdTe solar cells; however, the amount recycled was ... refined tellurium, but output was not reported and available information was inadequate to make reliable production ...

The Raman and far-infrared spectra of solid selenium and tellurium tetrachlorides and tellurium tetrabromide are reported. The infrared spectra of selenium tetrabromide and the mixed halides SeClBr 3 and SeCl 3 Br were also studied. Three possible structures for these compounds were considered: a simple ionic formulation MX 3 + X – of C 3v symmetry, a …

(IV) reported that a high degree of separation was possible by using 1.1 M TBP in kerosene. However, using TBP for extraction of Se(IV) requires higher acidities; further, extractability is low ...

However, whilst sulfur-, selenium-, or tellurium-functionalised vitamin E and vitamin A derivatives have been reported, to the best of our knowledge, the synthesis of chalcogen-containing vitamin C derivatives has never been described. ... Owing to the presence of both the vitamin C free enediol moiety and the selenium or tellurium atom, ...

Today, this compound theoretically contains 28.84 percent by mass oxygen—a remarkably accurate analysis by Berzelius in 1818! 7. Berzelius determined the atomic weight of selenium to be 495.91 (O=100), corresponding to 79.34 (O=16). 8 The value today is 78.96, which again shows the accuracy of his chemical analysis.

Selenium (SeNPs) and tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) were synthesized by green technology using the three new bacterial marine isolates (strains PL 2476, AF 2469 and G 2451). Isolates were classified as Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis according to 16S rRNA sequence analysis, morphological characteristics, and biochemical reactions. …
