Hydrogen atomic pair ions, i.e., H(+) and H(-) ions, are produced by plasma-assisted catalytic ionization using a porous nickel plate. Positive ions in a hydrogen plasma generated by dc arc discharge are irradiated to the porous plate, and pair ions are produced from the back of the irradiation plane. It becomes clear that the production quantity of pair ions mainly depends on the irradiation c...

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...

The sensitivity of sodium efflux to the removal of potassium ions from the external solution and the change in sodium efflux occurring when sodium ions are also removed were observed to be related. When Tris was used to replace external sodium ions, increases in sodium efflux were always observed whether the sensitivity of sodium efflux to external potassium ions was weak or strong. Greater per...

direct orthogonal signal correction(dosc) and savitzky-golay filters (sgf) were applied as preprocessing methods on the original and first derivative absorbance data. principle component regression (pcr), partial least squares (pls) and iterative target transformation factor analysis (ittfa), were used in spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of heavy divalent metal ions, lead, zinc,mer...

zinc ions are present in different types of industrial effluents, being responsible for environmental pollution. biosorption is a process in which solids of natural origin are employed for binding heavy metals. it is a promising alternative method to treat heavy metal wastes mainly because of high metal binding capacity. the effect of some important parameters on sorption capacity of cyanobacte...
