Oxime extractants 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzaldehyde oxime (HL1) and 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde oxime (HL2) were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. Suitable lipophilic nature of the prepared extractants allowed examining the ability of these molecules for extr...

A new carboxylic acid extractant, named 2-(dibutylcarbamoyl)benzoic acid, is prepared and its potential for selective solvent extraction and recovery of lead ions from industrial samples was investigated. The slope analysis indicated that the lead ions are extracted by formation of 1:2 metal to ligand complexes. The effect of the parameters influencing the extraction efficiency including kind o...

the present work concerns on the investigation of the role of polyethylene glycols (pegs) as masking agent for amelioration of extraction-separation of la(iii), eu(iii) and er(iii) ions by the acidic extractant bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (dehpa). the studied solvent extraction system is based on the combination of chelating effect of dehpa in the organic phase on the one hand, and the bin...

the extraction-separation of lanthanum and europium ions with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (dehpa) in cyclohexane was improved by adding 12-crown-4 (12c4) to the aqueous phase as a masking agent. in the presence of this crown ether the extraction curve of lanthanum ions versus ph shifts to the higher ph region, while the curve is not influenced for the europium ions. consequently the separ...

a good understanding of adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics is required to design and operate an adsorption process. this study was conducted to assess the adsorption percentage of pb2+ ions as a function of contact time, solution ph and temperatures, and adsorbent dosage through a series of batch experiments. the methods including zeta potentials, specific surface area measurements and t...

Magnesium is an abundant element in the environment. Magnesium ion sensing by fluorescence spectral method is of importance due to the need for the detection of the metal in the human body and the environment. In this paper, we report the Mg2+ ion sensing behavior of the phenylhydrazone derivative of a difluorenylpiperidin-4-one. The preparation method of this compound is simple. The compound s...

Radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. The displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. The mechanism has been studied here by a specia...

The interaction of hGH with some metal ions ( ) at 27°C in NaC1 solution, 50 mM was studied using Isothermal titration calorimetry. There is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for binding of all these metal ions, expect . The intrinsic association equilibrium constants () are not very different for  and , and also their molar enthalpies of binding (KJ/mol for  and  KJ/mo...
