Hydrothermal and non-hydrothermal spherical TiO2 nanoporous with crystalline framework were prepared by sol-gel method. The Crystalline structures, morphologies and surface texturing of materials were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The Hydrothermal spherical TiO2 nanoporous was found to have a narrow and strong p...

Background: Heavy metals have been recognized as harmful environmental pollutant known to produce highly toxic effects on different organs and systems of both humans and animals. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the adsorption potential of chitosan for the removal of Pb(II), Fe(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Methods: This study was conducted in laboratory scale. In this paper ...

In the title compound, [Pb(NO(3))(2)(C(13)H(8)N(4))(2)], the Pb(II) atom (site symmetry 2) is hexa-coordinated by four N atoms from two N,N'-bidentate imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (L) ligands and two O atoms from two weakly coordinated nitrate ions [Pb-O = 2.872 (5) Å] in an irregular arrangement, which may be ascribed to the stereochemically active lone pair of electrons on the metal ion...

Lignin is a renewable natural aromatic polymer that generated as co-product during lignocellulosic biorefinery processes, and it has been applied widely functional biomaterial. In this study, the adsorption behavior of Cd(II) Pb(II) metal ions was investigated via ion chelation using aminated lignins (ALs) with primary, secondary, tertiary amine groups. ALs exhibited optimal capacities in solut...

In this work, a low-cost activated carbon as well as non-hazardous material, with high adsorption capacity, was prepared from Melia azedarach fruit (MF) by ZnCl2 activation for the removal of Pb(II) toxic metal from aqueous solutions. The microstructure of the activated carbon was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Batch experiments have been performed as a function of pH, contact ...

In the title compound, [Pb(C20H26O2PS2)2(C5H5N)2], the Pb(II) ion is coordinated by two S,S'-bidentate anions and two pyridine mol-ecules. The PbN2S4 coordination geometry approximates to a penta-gonal bipyramid with one equatorial site vacant. The N atoms occupy the axial sites. One of the pyridine mol-ecules is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.907 (7):0.093 (7) ratio and one of the te...

Selective extraction techniques were used to assay the importance of specific solid phases in Pb binding by heterogeneous surface coating materials (biofilms) in Cayuga Lake, NY. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH(2)OH.HC1) was used to extract easily reducible Mn oxides, and sodium dithionite (Na(2)S(2)O(4)) was used to extract Mn and Fe oxides in two sets of biofilm samples retrieved from the lak...

The effect of aspartic acid on the adsorption of Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Mn(II) on kaolinite at 25 degrees C in the presence of 5 mM KNO3 was investigated by means of potentiometric titrations and adsorption measurements over a range of pH and concentration. Data were modeled by extended constant capacitance models. Aspartic acid slightly enhanced the adsorption of Pb(II), Zn(II), a...
