TL;DR: In this article, the removal of nickel from aqueous solutions by alumina nano particles was investigated and the adsorbent, nano alumina powder, was synthesized in the laboratory and was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Abstract: The presence of nickel in aquatic systems due to discharge of industrial effluents is of concern because of its toxic and nonbiodegradable nature. Its removal from water and wastewater is mandatory. Though activated carbon has been effective in removing metallic species including nickel from water and effluents, its high cost limits its large scale application to developing nations. The present paper addresses the removal of nickel from aqueous solutions by alumina nano particles. The adsorbent, nano alumina powder, was synthesized in the laboratory and was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The BET surface area and porosity of nanosized alumina powder were found to be 78.79 m2 g−1 and 0.51, respectively. The initial concentration of nickel, agitation speed, and contact time were found to affect the removal of nickel from aqueous solutions. Kinetic studies were performed and pseudofirst order, second...

TL;DR: In this article, it has been found that by incorporating small amounts of manganese or cobalt, the resistivities can be increased to 1010 or 1011 ohm-centimeters.
Abstract: Nickel ferrite, as ordinarily prepared, has a dc resistivity of 104 to 106 ohm‐centimeters. It has been found that by incorporating small amounts of manganese or cobalt, the resistivities can be increased to 1010 or 1011 ohm‐centimeters. Presumably, replacing Fe++ or Ni+++ with Mn or Co ions eliminates the easy conduction paths otherwise provided by the former ions. Further work is required to elucidate the exact mechanism.
