A low-cost thin-layer electrochemical flow-through cell based on a carbon paste electrode (CPE), was constructed for the highly sensitive determination of cadmium(II) (Cd(2+)) and lead(II) (Pb(2+)) ions. The sensitivity of the proposed cell for Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) ion detection was improved by using the smallest channel height without the need for any complicated electrode modification. Under the...

the feasibility of kaolinite used as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of pb(ii), zn(ii) and cu(ii) from aqueous solutions was investigated. during the removal process, batch technique was used, and the effects of heavy metal concentration and contact time on adsorption efficiency at ph of 4.5, under a constant temperature of 20?1 ?c were studied. the experimental results were analyzed using...

Recent studies suggest that the developmental toxicity associated with childhood lead poisoning may be attributable to interactions of Pb(II) with proteins containing thiol-rich structural zinc-binding sites. Here, we report detailed structural studies of Pb(II) in such sites, providing critical insights into the mechanism by which lead alters the activity of these proteins. X-ray absorption sp...

An outlook of the experiments needs for Heavy Ion physics for the next ten years is given, including a summary of required beam types and configurations (e.g. p-Pb and collision energies other than the nominal 13 TeV). We discuss which, if any, other ion species than Pb are being considered. The experiment expectations in terms of integrated luminosities are discussed, along with the impact use...

Environmental remediation requires ion-selective polymers that operate under a wide range of solution conditions. In one example, removal of trivalent and divalent metal ions from waste streams resulting from mining operations before they enter the environment requires treatment at acidic pH. The monoethyl ester phosphate ligands developed in this report operate from acidic solutions. They have...

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of Pb (II) using 5methylthiophene–2-carboxaldehyde ethylenediamine (MTCED) as an analytical reagent. The reagent has been synthesized and characterized using IR, H NMR and Mass spectral data. The metal ion in aqueous medium forms light yellow colored complex with MTCED at pH 3.0(sodium acetate-hydrochlor...

In this study, a zinc plant purification cake (CINKUR Co. Turkey) was leached with sulphuric acid and an acidic leach solution containing Zn(II), Fe(II), Pb(II), Al(III), Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) ions was obtained. After purification, ammonium thiocyanate and water were added to the remaining leach solution containing Co(II) and Ni(II) ions to adjust the chemical media and ion concentration. T...
