The crystal structures of hydro-thermally synthesized silver(I) aluminium bis-[hydrogen arsenate(V)], AgAl(HAsO4)2, silver(I) gallium bis-[hydrogen arsenate(V)], AgGa(HAsO4)2, silver gallium diarsenate(V), AgGaAs2O7, and sodium gallium diarsenate(V), NaGaAs2O7, were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature. The first two compounds are representatives o...

terms and conditions of current drinking water quality standards, including reducing the maximum arsenic concentration from 50 μgl-1 to 10 μgl-1 and predicted stricter standards in future, reveals the necessity for development of new technologies. this study aimed to prepare and evaluate a new nanocomposite membrane using graphene oxide (go) thin layer to remove arsenic (v) from water. to fabri...

Arsenate does this because the enzyme accepts it as orthophosphate, but the first product breaks down because of the instability of esters and anhydrides of arsenate (cf. Braunstein, 1931). This use of arsenate is limited because most of the biochemical reactions that liberate orthophosphate, in contrast with those that liberate pyrophosphate, are not freely reversible. Arsenical analogues of p...

A pot culture experiment was conducted in mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek.) genotype PUSA Baisakhi to test the effect of sodium arsenate and thiourea (TU). Arsenic at 25 μM caused significant inhibition of growth as indicated by reduced shoot and root dry weight and reduction in photosynthetic capacity. Significant decline in ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathion...

The present study describes the effectiveness of removal of selected aqueous anions by several metalloligs, i.e., metal derivatives of a commercially available immobilized ligand, IMLIG, Octolig. This material consists of polyethylenediamine moieties covalently bound to a high-surface area silica gel (CAS Registry number = 404899-06-5). The metals involved are copper, cobalt, iron, nickel, mang...

A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 lacking pyruvate dehydrogenase and phosphoenolpyruvate synthase was used to study the transport of pyruvate by whole cells. Uptake of pyruvate was maximal in mid-log phase cells, with a Michaelis constant for transport of 20 microM. Pretreatment of the cells with respiratory chain poisons or uncouplers, except for arsenate, inhibited transport up to 95%. Lactat...

The crystal structure of durangite, ideally NaAl(AsO(4))F (chemical name sodium aluminium arsenate fluoride), has been determined previously [Kokkoros (1938). Z. Kristallogr.99, 38-49] using Weissenberg film data without reporting displacement parameters of atoms or a reliability factor. This study reports the redetermination of the structure of durangite using single-crystal X-ray diffraction ...

The competitive adsorption of arsenate and arsenite with silicic acid at the ferrihydrite-water interface was investigated over a wide pH range using batch sorption experiments, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) modeling. Batch sorption results indica...
