A classification of kinetics of metalloporphyrin formation is presented according to the composition of the activated complex involved in the reaction. In the reaction of large metal ions, such as mercury(II) and cadmium(II) with porphyrins, these metal ions can not fit into the porphyrin nucleus and they are out—of-plane in the metalloporphyrin. In this case the reaction is relatively fast and...

Cadmium is one of the dangerous heavy metals contained in industrial wastewater whose presence needs to be addressed. Adsorption method that can used reduce levels metal ions wastewater. Langsat peel activated carbon as an adsorbent adsorb cadmium because it easy obtain and its use still minimal community. The langsat was made into with HNO3 activator a ion absorber Cd2+ using column method. ob...

Cyclic voltammetry was used to determine the stability constants for the complexation of cadmium and zinc ions with hydroxyl-terminated polyamidoamine generation 2 dendrimers with an ethylenediamine core (PAMAM G2-OH) at a mercury ultramicroelectrode. Cadmium and zinc ions were found to form poly-metal complexes through the interactions with interior amino groups rather than hydroxyl groups and...

ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7072-2 This thesis summarizes and discusses the results of several individual studies on the solvation of metal ions in the solvent N,N’-dimethylpropyleneurea, DMPU, including the iron(II), iron(III), zinc(II), cadmium(II), and ...

Background and aims: From the past studies, it has been proved that consumption of heavy metals by humans may cause several chronicle problems like cancer, kidney and liver damage, high blood pressure and low blood pressure problems and etc. So, it has become very crucial to remove these heavy metals from industrial wastewater. The aim of this study was to find out a low cost a...

Cadmium adversely affects the biological function of the liver. Transferrin might be involved in the detoxification system of cadmium. However, owing to the lack of investigation of the molecular mechanism of cadmium conjugating to transferrin, the role of transferrin in cadmium detoxification in the liver and how transferrin undergoes conformational and functional changes upon cadmium binding ...

Newborns have a higher gastrointestinal uptake of cadmium than adults. In adults, the iron transporters DMT1 and FPN1 are involved in the intestinal absorption of cadmium, while in neonates, the mechanisms for cadmium absorption are unknown. We have investigated possible cadmium transporters in the neonatal intestine by applying a model of immature human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells. To m...

Two cell lines of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv VFNT-Cherry) were systematically compared for their capacity to tolerate cadmium. Unselected CdS cells died in the presence of 0.3 mM CdCl2. CdR6-0 cells, which were selected from CdS, survived and grew in medium supplemented with 0.3 mM CdCl2. Growth of CdR6-0 cells under this condition was accompanied by synthesis of cadmium-binding ph...
