In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Pb(2)(C(10)H(6)NO(2))(2)(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(2)H(5)OH)(2)], one O atom of the carboxyl-ate group of the quinoline-2-carboxyl-ate anion connects the two Pb(II) atoms. The Pb(II) atom is surrounded by four O atoms and one N atom in a Ψ-octa-hedral PbO(4)NE geometry (E is the electron lone pair). Two longer Pb⋯O inter-actions distort the geometry toward...

The Pb(II) atom in the polymeric title compound, [Pb(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(2))](n), is chelated by the N-heterocycle, and adjacent atoms are bridged by rigid terephthalate dianions into a linear chain. The Pb(II) atom is stereochemically active in a ψ-square-pyramidal coordination geometry in which the lone-pair electrons occupy a basal site. When three other weaker Pb⋯O inter-actions ar...

The interaction between some heavy metal ions such as of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution adsorbed by single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) and carboxylate group functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH) surfaces were studied by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The effect of contact time, pH, initial concentration of ion, ionic strength and temperature on the...

The reaction of lead(II) acetate and 3-methyl-benzoic acid (MBA) in aqueous solution yielded the title polymer, [Pb(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)](n). The asymmetric unit contains two Pb(II) atoms, four MBA ligands and two water mol-ecules. Each Pb(II) cation is hepta-coordinated and chelated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms from two MBA ligands. The Pb atoms are bridged through the carboxyl-ate O atoms ...

The sorption properties of rice husk towards Cu(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) were studied. The sorption isotherms are described by the Langmuir equation, and Pb(II) shows a higher affinity for rice husk compared to Cu(II) and Cd(II) under the same conditions. The kinetics of sorption obeys to a pseudo second-order equation for all metals. The sorption profiles as a function of the pH were used to ...

In the present investigation the biosorption potential of rosa gruss an teplitz (Red Rose) Waste Biomass (RRWB) for the removal of Pb(II) and Co(II) from aqueous solutions was studied. The effect of different process parameters such as pH, biosorbent dose, biosorbent size, temperature, contact time, initial metal concentration and pretreatments on the biosorption capacity of this waste biom...

Few studies have demonstrated the practical application of surface complexation models, calibrated with fundamental macroscopic and spectroscopic metal sorption data, in helping to solve industrial trace metal emissions problems. In this work, multistage ferrihydrite sorption systems are evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing single-solute lead(II) [Pb(II)] concentrations in contaminated...

Single crystals of the title compound, trilead(II) bis-[tellurate(IV)] dibromide, have been grown under hydro-thermal conditions. The structure is isotypic with that of the chloride analogue, Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Cl(2), and consists of three Pb, two Te, two Br and four O atoms in the asymmetric unit. Except for two of the O atoms, all atoms are located on mirror planes. The Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Br(2) structu...

The biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of such metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study, the adsorption properties of nonliving biomass of phanerochaete chrysosporium for Pb (II) and Zn (II) were investigated by the use of batch adsorption techniques. The effects of initial metal ion concentration, initial pH, biosorbent concentration, stirring speed...

The ability of sheep wool to remove Pb(II) ions and safranin dye from aqueous solutions through the adsorption process was investigated at room temperature. The metal ions concentration was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer method. The influence of pH, contact time, amount of adsorbent, temperature and initial metal...
