In this work, two bioactive glass powders (SBA2 and SBA3) were doped with Cu by means of the ion-exchange technique in aqueous solution. SBA2 glass was subjected to the ion-exchange process by using different Cu salts (copper(II) nitrate, chloride, acetate, and sulphate) and concentrations. Structural (X-ray diffraction-XRD), morphological (Scanning Electron Microscopy-SEM), and compositional (...

Removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution supplies is possible through the process of adsorption. One of these processes involves the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles on activated carbon (AC). Adsorbed coppre ions on the surface of Fe3O4-AC are separated from aqueous solutions using external magnetic fields. In the present study, magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized ...

Fe is an impurity in most leach liquors. Its coexistence with copper in leaching solution of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) which is the most important mineral of copper creates major extraction problems. Hydrochloric acid dissolves both copper and iron during chloride leaching of this mineral. Separation of Fe from Cu is thus necessary to obtain pure copper. This paper presents a novel metho...

malicorium supported ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by a low-cost, simple,and environmentally benign procedure. the adsorbent was characterized by several methods includingx-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir). then, the potential of malicorium supported ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magneticnanoparticles was in...

The early cysteine-labeled metallothionein (MT) from Triticum aestivum (common wheat), denoted Ec-1, features two structurally well-defined domains, γ and βE, coordinating two and four Zn(II) ions, respectively. While the protein is currently assumed to function mainly in zinc homeostasis, a low amount of copper ions was also recently detected in a native Ec-1 sample. To evaluate the observed c...

the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

With Cd and Zn metal ions removed from the native rabbit-liver metallothionein upon unfolding, Cu-modified metallothioneins (Cu-MTs) were obtained during refolding in solutions containing Cu(I) or Cu(II) ions. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopic results confirm the respectively assigned oxidation states of the copper ions in Cu(I)-MT and Cu(II)-MT. Global and local structures of the Cu-MTs...

a simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of copper(ii) based on the adsorption of its modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber. modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber (panf) was prepared by adding of acrylic fibers to msethanolamine (mma) with different concentration solutions. the stability of a chemically modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber especially in concentrated hydrochl...
