The degradation capacity of a mixed culture of Agrobacterium tumefaciens SUTS 1 and Pseudomonas monteilii SUTS 2 for thiocyanate and metal cyanide, in the form of zinc and cadmium, has been determined. The growth of a mixed culture of SUTS 1 and SUTS 2 in cyanide complexes and the cyanide removal efficiency of a fixed-film bio-column system were studied. The results showed that the mixed cultur...

This paper gives an overview of the materials and methods used for fabricating photovoltaic solar cell devices. The technologies discussed include those based on the use of silicon (in the crystalline, multicrystalline, amorphous and micro-crystalline forms), the IIIeV compounds (e.g. gallium arsenide, indium phosphide and gallium antimonide), the polycrystalline compounds (e.g. cadmium telluri...

Cadmium carbonate was found to be a useful promoter in the Koenigs-Knorr synthesis of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexyl-beta-D-glycopyranosides. Using this promoter model glucoside and galactoside derivatives of cyclic (i.e., secondary) alcohols were synthesized in 50-60 % overall yields. Diastereoisomeric mixtures of products were obtained in these syntheses, which started from racemic isomers of ...

The n + CdS-nCdS-nSi structures were obtained, and their volt-ampere characteristics at different temperatures studied. dependence of the characteristic shows that sublinear quadratic section these has a current growth with voltage. It is determined in flow direction low illumination levels work as an injection photodiode. And under laser λ=0.625 μm power P=1.2 µW/cm 2 have spectral sensitivity...

background: cadmium (cd) is a heavy metal that has widespread use. it enters the food chain in different ways, including soil and water. cadmium can cause dysfunction of different body organs. zinc (zn) and magnesium (mg) supplementation can have protective effects against cadmium toxicity due to their antagonistic and antioxidants properties. this study examines the influence of supplemental z...

The thiosemicarbazone of 9-anthraldehyde, (9-ATSC) and its group 12 metal complexes have been synthesized. The four compounds have been characterized by IR, electronic and NMR spectrometries, molar conductivity, melting points and elemental analysis. In all the complexes, the 9-ATSC coordinates through the sulfur and the azomethinic nitrogen. The zinc (II) complex shows a 1:2 metal to ligand st...
