Macrocyclic Schiff bases have been synthesized by the condensation of acetyl acetone with semicarbazide hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide in presence of methanol. Further, their oxovanadium complexes have been synthesized by using vanadium acetylacetone. The structural assignment of these compounds has been made on the basis of MP, TLC, MW determination, conductivities, elemental analysis and...

An inexpensive and fast vanadium [(IV), (V)] speciation method was performed by using optical chemical sensor that incorporates lipophilized calmagite (Cal) with cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) as a suitable ligand on triacetylcellulose membrane in aqueous solutions prior to UV-Vis spectrometric determination. Absorbance decrease of the optode in pH 6 at 490 nm depended on the V(V) ion concentr...

fuel oil used in power plants contain metal impurities like vanadium. after combustion, this metal remains in boiler fuel ash in the form of oxide. in this research, extraction of vanadium oxide from fuel ash has been investigated. two processes were used for this purpose. a pyro- hydrometallurgy and a hydrometallurgy process. in the pyro-hydrometallurgy process, using sodium carbonate, salt ro...

The work investigated the protective role of vitamin E on vanadium induced neurotoxicity. Three adult female rats were divided into three groups, A-C with each dam and her pups forming a group. Group A served as control. The dam in Group B was given 3mg/kg b.w./day of vanadium from PND 1 while the Group C dam were given 3mg/kg b.w./day of vanadium, for 14 days and 500mg/kg b.w. of vitamin E 72 ...

OBJECTIVE Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant and protects against lipid peroxidation in cerebral membrane. The objective of the study was to investigate protective effects of ascorbic acid on lipid peroxidative damage and perturbation of enzymes, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in discrete regions of rat brain after vanadium exposure. METHODS Thi...

This paper presents an environmental exposure assessment model for estimating chronic intake of vanadium (a transition metal) by cattle farmed extensively in areas contaminated by vanadium pollutants. The exposure model differs from most other models in several ways: (1) it does not rely heavily on extrapolating information from the point source (e.g. stack height, exit velocity, exit diameter)...
