in this work, old newspaper fibers (onf) bleached with h2o2, treated with koh and treated with naocl were investigated as potential adsorbents. the characterization of the produced fibers using ft-ir, sem and particle size distribution have been carried out and tested for the removal of ni (ii) from aqueous solutions. the results indicated that the fibers treated with koh give the highest %remo...

Ni(II) sorption onto iron oxides and in particular hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) is among the important processes impacting its distribution, mobility, and bioavailability in environment. To develop mechanistic models for Ni, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis has been conducted on Ni(II) sorbed to HFO. Coprecipitation revealed the formation of the metastable alpha-Ni(OH)(2)...

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [NiCl2(C7H12N2S)2], the Ni(II) atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, coordinated by two Cl atoms [Ni-Cl= 2.2336 (6) Å] and two thione S atoms [Ni-S= 2.3024 (6) Å]. The angles at the Ni(II) cation, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, are Cl-Ni-Cl = 115.58 (3)° and S-Ni-S = 94.55 (3)°. All other angles at the central Ni(II) atom range fr...

Nickel(II)-xylylbicyclam is a potent anti-HIV agent and binds strongly to the CXCR4 co-receptor. We have investigated configurational equilibria of Ni(II)-cyclam derivatives, since these are important for receptor recognition. Crystallographic studies show that both trans and cis configurations are readily formed: [Ni(cyclam)(OAc)(2)] x H(2)O adopts the trans-III configuration with axial monode...

The sorption speciation of Ni(II) on Ca-montmorillonite was evaluated using a combination of batch experiments, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and modeling. The pH and temperature at the aqueous-montmorillonite interface affects both the extent of Ni(II) sorption as well as the local atomic structure of the adsorbed Ni(II) ions. At 0.001 mol L(-1) Ca(NO(3))(2) and...

the stability constants of species present in the systems ni(ii)-pyridoxamine(pym)(a) and ni(ii)-pyridoxamine(pym)(a)-imidazole containing ligands(b) [b = imidazole(him),  benzimidazole(bim), histamine(hist) and l-histidine(his)] have been determined ph-metrically using the miniquad computer program. the existence of the species niah, nia and nia2 was proven for the ni(ii)-pym(a) system, wherea...

in this work, modification of carbon paste electrode surface with poly (2, 5-dimethyl aniline) (p-2,5-dma) by using electrochemical polymerization was described. then, transition metal ions of ni(ii) were incorporated into the polymer film by two ways. at first way, the polymeric modified electrode was immersed in 0.2 m niso4 solutions and the second way was carried out by electrodeposition of ...
