Photochemical degradation of azure-b with sulphate radical ion generated by peroxydisulphate ion with cupric ion
In this paper, the photochemical degradation of azure-b by Cu2+/S2O82− process has beenpresented. Cu2+ as photocatalyst and S2O82− ion as photooxidant used in this process. Atextremely low concentrations, cupric ion showed true catalytic activity in the overall process.The influence of various parameters on the performance of the treatment process has beenconsidered, such as pH, concentration o...
متن کاملCopper sensitivity of Gonyaulax tamarensis1
The copper sensitivity of the dinoflagellate Gonyuulax tamarensis was examined in artificial seawater medium. Two short term responses of the organism to copper toxicity are rapid loss of motility and reduced photosynthetic carbon fixation. The chelators tris(hydroxymethylamino)methane (Tris) and cthylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid (EDTA) were used to dcmonstrate that copper toxicity is a unique ...
متن کاملFree cupric ion activity in seawater: effects on metallothionein and growth in crab larvae.
Crab zoeae (Rhithropanopeus harrisii) were exposed during their development opment to a range of free cupric ion activities regulated in seawater by use of a copper chelate buffer system. Most cytosolic copper was found to be associated with metallothionein. Copper-thionein could be related to free cupric ion activity, and a shift in copper-thionein accumulation was correlated with inhibition o...

Marine microalgae (Emiliania huxleyi) were grown in seawater enriched only with nitrogen and phosphorus, without control of free metal concentrations using synthetic chelators. Complexing ligands and thiol compounds were determined by cathodic stripping volt-ammetry. Copper was added to these cultures, and ligands were produced in response to the copper addition. Parallel measurements of thiols...

Changes in Cu and Zn ion levels have been reported in many nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Wilson’s disease and Pick’s disease. The relationship between ion levels and polarization/depolarization of cell membrane is important since ion levels affect the state of polarization and depolarization of the cells. In this study, synaptosomes from different brain areas...
