چکیده
Publication 1. A. Manceau et al, “Quantitative Zn speciation in smelter-contaminated soils by EXAFS spectroscopy,” Am. J. Sci. (in press, 2000). Figure 3 (top) Soil samples were taken at several depths from a contaminated site. (bottom) Model compounds derived from polarized-EXAFS data at the ESRF and μ-EXAFS data at the ALS provide a good fit with powder-EXAFS spectra from a soil sample, thereby confirming the identification of the contaminating species.

Microcalorimetric study the toxic effect of hexavalent chromium on microbial activity of Wuhan brown sandy soil: an in vitro approach.
A multi-channel thermal activity monitor was applied to study soil microbial activity in Wuhan brown sandy soil in the presence of different concentrations of hexavalent chromium (K(2)Cr(2)O(7)). In order to stimulate the soil microbial activity, 5.0mg of glucose and 5.0mg of ammonium sulfate were added to a 1.20-g soil sample under a controlled humidity of 35%. The results show that the poison...
متن کاملMechanisms of hexavalent chromium resistance and removal by microorganisms.
Chromium has been and is extensively used worldwide in multiple industrial processes and is routinely discharged to the environment from such processes. Therefore, this heavy metal is a potential threat to the environment and to public health, primarily because it is non-biodegradable and environmentally persistent. Chromium exists in several oxidation states, the most stable of which are triva...
متن کاملIsolation of chromium resistant Bacillus sp. MRKV and reduction of hexavalent chromium potassium dichromate
The ability of Bacillus sp. MRKV isolated from tannery effluent which shows resistant towards hexavalent chromium potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) was evaluated in this study. The bacterial strain was assayed for its reducing ability towards K2Cr2O7. The study revealed that the isolated strain has the ability to reduce the hexavalent chromium and the optimal conditions required for the chromium r...
متن کاملExperimental Study on the Factors Affecting Hexavalent Chromium Bioreduction by Bacillus cereus
Chromium through natural processes and human activities enters the air, soil and water. Chromium-resistant bacteria are capable of reducing toxic Cr(VI) to less toxic Cr(III). In this work, batch studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of environmental factors on the rate of Cr(VI) reduction from synthetic wastewater of metal plating industry by Bacillus cereus under aerobic conditions. T...
