In this article, we determined the concentration levels of metals including Zn, Al, Sr, and Co and metalloid of As of ballast water in commercial ships entering Bushehr port, along the Persian Gulf. Ballast water samples were taken from commercial ships entering Bushehr port from 34 ports around the world during 15 February and 25 August 2016. The concentration levels of metals and metalloid we...

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are among the main sources of protein and minerals. The cooking of the grains is imperative, due to reduction of the effect of some toxic and antinutritional substances, as well as increase of protein digestibility. In this study, the effects of cooking on albumins, globulins, prolamins, and glutelins concentration and determination of Fe associated with proteins f...

The selective retention of the Sb(III) chelate with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) on a column of Chromosorb 102 resin from a buffered sample solution including Sb(V) was used for the determination of Sb(III). The retained antimony was eluted with acetone. The retention of the Sb(III)-iodide compounds with sodium iodide on the Chromosorb 102 resin column from the same solution afte...

The monitoring of trace metals in human urine plays an important role in research. Traditionally, urine analysis has been accomplished by graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA). However, when large numbers of samples are analyzed for multiple elements, GFAA becomes very cumbersome and restrictive, since it can only determine one element at a time. Additionally, the detection capability of IC...

Key Benefits • Advanced spectrometer hardware and automated software wizards ensure the Thermo Scientific iCE 3000 Series Atomic Absorption Spectrometers meet the requirements of EPA Method 200.9 with ease. • Graphite furnace television allows real-time visualization of the inside of the cuvette, ensuring repeatable sample deposition time after time. • Software wizards enable controlled and aut...

In this paper, we measured the levels of metals including Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Hg, Fe, and Cu in the inlet and outlet wastewater of hospitals. The samples were taken from wastewater in Bushehr׳s province hospitals, Iran. After the collection of samples, the concentration levels of metals were determined by using graphite furnace absorption spectrometer (AAS) method (Varian, SpectrAA 240, Australia)....
