To provide the basic information about the release of heavy metals from the pyrite tailings of Huangjiagou pyrite mine, the pyrite tailings were investigated through a series of batch experiments under different initial pH of extractant, temperature, liquid-solid (LS) ratio, and soaking time conditions. Moreover, calcium carbonate was added in the pyrite tailings to determine the reduction effe...

The synthesis of the new potentially hexadentate ligands N,N'-bis(2,2'-bipyridin-6-ylmethyl)butane-1,4-diamine (bmbu), N,N'-bis(2,2'-bipyridin-6-ylmethyl)pentane-1,5-diamine (bmpt) and N,N'-bis(2,2'-bipyridin-6-ylmethyl)octane-1,8-diamine (bmot) from the condensation of 2,2'-bipyridine-6-carbaldehyde with the appropriate diamine (butane-1,4-diamine, pentane-1,5-diamine and octane-1,8-diamine, r...

The nickel-manganese (Ni-Mn) alloy coating prepared from DC electrodeposition process in sulphamate bath was studied. The effects of process parameters, such as current density and electrolyte composition, on the cathodic current efficiency, microstructure, internal stress and mechanical properties were investigated. Because of its crucial effect on the application to the electroforming of micr...

Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization lead atmospheric deposition of heavy metals and dust load to become a global problem. We investigated the deposition of dust and heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn, Mn and Cu) at selected urban and sub-urban sites of Varanasi, India. Dustfall samples from different sampling location were collected and selected heavy metals viz. Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Mn an...

In this joint experimental and ab initio study, we focused on the influence of the chemical composition and martensite phase transition on the electronic, magnetic, optical, and magneto-optical properties of the ferromagnetic shape-memory Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. The polar magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) spectra for the polycrystalline sample of the Ni-Mn-Ga alloy of Ni60Mn13Ga27 composition were me...

Adult freshwater snails Melanoides tuberculata (Gastropod, Thiaridae) were exposed for a four-day period in laboratory conditions to a range of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), aluminium (Al), and manganese (Mn) concentrations. Mortality was assessed and median lethal times (LT₅₀) and concentrations (LC₅₀) were calculated. LT₅₀ and LC₅₀ increased with the...

Let {Xi} be a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables with an intermediate regularly varying right tail F̄ . Let (N,C1, C2, . . .) be a nonnegative random vector independent of the {Xi} with N ∈ N ∪ {∞}. We study the weighted random sum SN = ∑Ni=1 CiXi , and its maximum, MN = sup1≤k<N+1 ∑ki=1 CiXi . This type of sum appears in the analysis of stochastic recursions, incl...

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...
