Organic-inorganic magnetic hybrid materials (MHMs) combine a nonmagnetic and a magnetic component by means of electrostatic interactions or covalent bonds, and notable features can be achieved. Herein, we describe an application of a self-assembled material based on ferrite associated with β-cyclodextrin (Fe-Ni/Zn/βCD) at the nanoscale level. This MHM and pure ferrite (Fe-Ni/Zn) were used as an...

Masses of the radioactive isotopes Ga, Zn and Cu have been measured at the JYFLTRAP facility with a relative precision of better than 1.8× 10. A QEC value of (9181.07 ± 0.54) keV for the superallowed decay of Ga is obtained from the measured cyclotron frequency ratios of Ga—Zn, Ga—Ni and Zn—Ni ions. The resulting Ft-value supports the validity of the conserved vector current hypothesis (CVC). T...

The status of metal concentrations including Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn and Fe in six species of Padina were determined in polluted (Nayband Bay) and unpolluted (Bostaneh port) areas on the Coast of the Persian Gulf. The mean concentrations of metals in the sediment of two locations were: Pb (12.64), Cd (3.59), Cu (21.74), Ni (17.00), Zn (32.00) and Fe (677.53) µg g-1 dry weight, respectively. In ...

Present study consists geochemical variations and spatial distribution of trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) of the ocean floor sediments collected along the continental shelf off East coast Tamil Nadu (Chennai to Velanganni) during the 2009 southwest monsoon period. Results indicate sand dominance with abundant calcareous debris and shell fragments. Normalisation of trace metal...

The potential environmental hazards posed by trace elements have assumed serious proportions due to their toxicity, bioavailability and geochemical behavior. The toxicity and mobility of trace elements in coal gangue is dependent on the elements' chemical properties, therefore, the quantification of the different forms of trace elements is more significant than the estimation of their total con...

Trace element contamination in aquatic ecosystems is one of the most important concerning of environmental health. Submerged aquatic plants can be used for the removal of Trace elements. The aim of this study was to investigate how Ceratophyllum demersum could affect on wastewater quality for recycling the wastewater to reuse for other purposes in agriculture and industrial fields. In this surv...

Polycrystalline bulk copper aluminate Cu1-x-yAgxByAlO2 with B = Ni or Zn were prepared by spark plasma sintering and subsequent thermal treatment. The influence of partial substitution of Ag, Ni and Zn for Cu-sites in CuAlO2 on the high temperature thermoelectric properties has been studied. The addition of Ag and Zn was found to enhance the formation of CuAlO2 phase and to increase the electri...

the mobility and bioavailability of trace elements in the agricultural soils are extremely important in assessing the risk of toxicity to the growing plants. a five step sequential extraction procedure (sep) has been employed to study the speciation of as, sb, cr, cu, cd, pb, zn, ni, fe and mn in 18 soil samples neighboring an industrial complex in isfahan, central iran. enrichment factor (ef) ...

The nucleophilicity of transition metal thiolates is well-documented. Biologically relevant electrophilic substrates include oxygen or oxygen-transfer agents (such as H2O2) and alkylation agents (such as CH3I). Nature makes use of the latter with Zn-containing de-alkylation proteins such as the Ada repair mechanism and the former in the case of the post-translationally modified active form of N...
