Štúdium viazania stopových prvkov v sedimente vodnej nádrže Ružín Pre účely posúdenia možnosti využitia fyzikálnych a fyzikálno-chemických metód separácie, vybraná vzorka sedimentu z Ružína bola podrobené 5-stupňovej procedúre sekvenčnej extrakcie (SE) podľa Tessiera (Tessier et al., 1979) a Horowitza (Horowitz, 1991). Vo výluhoch bolo stanovované zastúpenie konštitučných (Fe, Mn, Ca a Mg) ako ...

To evaluate the accumulation of aluminium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc in crayfish and fish organ tissues, specimens from three drinking water reservoirs (Boskovice, Landštejn, and Nová Říše) and one contaminated site (Darkovské moře) in the Czech Republic were examined. Crayfish hepatopancreas was confirmed to be the primary accumulating site for the majority of ...

During a period of 60 days assays were carried out with the moss Pohlia nutans transplanted from an uncontaminated control site to a dump consisting of a heavily polluted mine and smelter wastes located near wałbrzych in southwestern Poland. within the same period also samples of native P. nutans growing on the dump substrate were collected together with the same species from a control site. Co...

Binary and ternary separations of heavy metals, e.g. Zn–Bi, Mn–Pb, Cd–Pb, Mn–Bi–Mo, and Cr–Pb–Bi on columns of titanium(IV) tungstosilicate and Zn–Ni, Mo–Pb, Hg–Pb, Zn–Cr–Bi, and Zn–Ni–Bi on titanium(IV) tungstophosphate, have been demonstrated. The adsorption and elution of important metal ions such as Mo, Al, and As on titanium(IV) tungstosilicate and Hg, Fe, and Cr on titanium(IV) tungstopho...

In this research, comparative study of corrosion resistance of aluminum based alloys and Al-alloys with nickel have been investigated. Several processes are conducted for the AlZn-Mg-Cu alloys and Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-0.5%Ni alloys were homogenized, aged then retrogressed and reaged; also, alloys were homogenized then the extruded thereafter heat treated. Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy and AlZn-Mg-Cu-Ni alloy sample...

In this paper, we studied the relation between the micronutrient and gestational diabetes. Therefore, we measured micronutrient concentration including Ni, Al, Cr, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Se in serum of women with gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of gestational age (study group) who had inclusion criteria and comparison with micronutrient levels in normal pregnant women with same gestat...

BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated trace elements (TE) in human intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue. Trace element presence can have diverse meanings: essential TE show the metabolic modalities of the tissue, while environmentally-related TE indicate pollution and tissue-specific absorption and accumulation. IVD is a highly specific compartment with impaired communication with adjacent bone....

Present study consists geochemical variations and spatial distribution of trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) of the ocean floor sediments collected along the continental shelf off East coast Tamil Nadu (Chennai to Velanganni) during the 2009 southwest monsoon period. Results indicate sand dominance with abundant calcareous debris and shell fragments. Normalisation of trace metal...

The binary A(8)B phase (prototype Pt(8)Ti) has been experimentally observed in 11 systems. A high-throughput search over all the binary transition intermetallics, however, reveals 59 occurrences of the A(8)B phase: Au(8)Zn(dagger), Cd(8)Sc(dagger), Cu(8)Ni(dagger), Cu(8)Zn(dagger), Hg(8)La, Ir(8)Os(dagger), Ir(8)Re, Ir(8)Ru(dagger), Ir(8)Tc, Ir(8)W(dagger), Nb(8)Os(dagger), Nb(8)Rh(dagger), Nb(...
