In aqueous environment, water-soluble polymers are effectively used to separate free metal ions from metal-polymer complexes. The feasibilities of four different analytical techniques, cadmium ion-selective electrode, dialysis sack, chelate disk cartridge, and ultrafiltration, in distinguishing biopolymer-bound and nonbound cadmium in aqueous samples were investigated. And two different biopoly...

The synthesis of phytochelatins is catalyzed by γ-Glu-Cys dipeptidyl transpeptidase called phytochelatin synthase (PCS). Aim of this study was to suggest a new tool for determination of phytochelatin synthase activity in the tobacco BY-2 cells treated with different concentrations of the Cd(II). After the optimization steps, an experiment on BY-2 cells exposed to different concentrations of Cd(...

Cement-based wasteforms are among the most commonly used waste disposal and site remediation options. However, concrete knowledge of the processes controlling long-term performance of the wasteforms is lacking. This research evaluates the effect of carbonation on cementitious wasteforms. Wasteforms were reacted with carbon dioxide for a prolonged period and then subjected to leaching tests. Ion...

The structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C7H9NO)2] n , consists of cadmium-thio-cyanate layers parallel to the ab plane. Pairs of Cd(II) ions are bridged by two end-to-end inversely bridging μ-NCS-N:S thio-cyanate groups, forming a two-dimensional network with the remaining two trans positions of the octa-hedrally coordinated Cd(II) ions occupied by the N atoms of two neutral 2-meth-oxy-a...
