چکیده

Using EXAFS, we investigated the changes in the local structure of Cd(II) complexes formed with a series of low-molecular-weight thiols at different thiol/cadmium stoichiometries. For dilute solutions, a comparison of theoretical and experimental standards proved the latter approach superior. The number of bound oxygen atoms decreased while the number of sulfur atoms increased as the thiol/cadmium ratios increased, indicating that up to four thiol compounds can bind to cadmium in aqueous solutions. The computer code FEFFIT was modified to employ experimental and theoretical standards with equal facility.

Phosphate effects on cadmium(II) sorption to ferrihydrite.

HYPOTHESIS Phosphate influences the sorption of metals to iron (hydr)oxides. An enhanced formation of inner-sphere complexes on the (hydr)oxide surface can be attributed to electrostatic interactions and/or to changes in metal coordination on the iron (hydr)oxide surface. Phosphate was expected to increase cadmium(II) sorption on ferrihydrite. It should be possible to identify changes in cadmiu...

A study on the coordinative versatility of new N,S-donor macrocyclic ligands: XAFS, and Cu2+ complexation thermodynamics in solution.

We investigated, both in the solid state and in aqueous solution, the coordination environment and stability behavior of four macrocyclic ligands (three N(2)S(2) and one N(3)S(2)) and of the corresponding Cu(II) complexes. The structural characterization in the solid state of the copper derivatives was performed by X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy. Copper is found to be 4-fold coordinated with a C...

The Thermodynamic and Kinetics Study of Removal of Cd(II) by Nanoparticles of Cobalt Oxide in Aqueous Solution

Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal, which even in low levels is harmful to the human body, animals and also plants. Human manufactures such as cadmium-nickel batteries and pesticides, plastic, make the earth polluted with cadmium; therefore removal of the cadmium Water is vital for human and animal. Scientists use different methods for cadmium removal including adsorption, precipitation, i...
