Backgrounds and Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of potassium, sodium and zinc metal ions on ammonium sulfate fraction of acid phosphatase activity of orange fruit. Materials and Methods: Acid phosphatase was extracted and purified from orange fruit and then various samples as well as a control sample were prepared in vitro. In addition to substrates, ions of potass...

Adsorption and water treatment of Ca (II) and Mg (II) hardness were investigated via adsorption of metal ions onto commercial polyacrylic acid hydrogel beads as a novel sorbent for metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+) removal and water treatment. Batch equilibrium technique was carried out under the influence of solution pH, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and...

mobile carrier properties of two schiff base ligands, named bis(2-hydroxypropiophenone)-1,2-propanediimine (n2o2) and bis(1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone)-2,2'-diiminodiethylamine (n3o2), dissolved in dichloromethane for the extraction of copper(ii) ions from an ammonium buffer feed phase into a nitric acid solution (receiving phase) were investigated and compared. the parameters influencing the t...

the application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of pb and pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. effects of various parameters such as ph, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of pb(ii) in water samples is presented. a novel graphene oxide with covalently linked porphyrin solid-phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently linked porphyrin onto the surfaces of graphite oxides. the stability of a chemically (go-h2p) especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was s...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of co(ii) in water samples is presented. isocyanate treated graphite oxides (igos) solid phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently isocyanate onto the surfaces of graphite oxides. the stability of a chemically (igos) especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid which was then used as a re...
