A highly sensitive and simple method was developed for the simultaneous determination of trace cadmium and mercury in tobacco samples by cold vapor generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry equipped with an intermittent flow reactor. The reaction was accomplished with potassium tetrahydroborate(III) in aqueous solutions. A newly modified atomizer was presented on the basis of the present atom...

apart from the breast milk, infant formula and baby weaning food have a special role in infant diet. infants and young children are very susceptible to amount of trace elements. copper and zinc are two elements that add in infant food. lead and cadmium are heavy metals that enter to food chain unavoidably. dpasv is a benefit and applicable method for measurement of trace elements in food produc...

A hexakis[2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(butyloxy)phthalocyaninato] samarium(III)-cadmium(II) sextuple-decker complex (Pc*)Sm(Pc*)Cd(Pc*)Cd(Pc*)Cd(Pc*)Sm(Pc*) (1) with six phthalocyanine ligands bridged by two samarium(III) and three cadmium(II) ions, representing the largest stacked tetrapyrrole metal molecule in the sandwich series in terms of the tetrapyrrole-deck number, has been synthesized and...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of long-term grape juice concentrate (GJC) consumption, in two dosages, on the reproductive parameters of cadmium-exposed male rats. The effects of the concentrate on body mass gain, plasma testosterone levels, reproductive organ weights, daily sperm production, sperm morphology, testis histopathological and histomorphometrical paramet...

Pseudomonads from environmental sources vary widely in their sensitivity to cadmium, but the basis for this resistance is largely uncharacterized. A chromosomal fragment encoding cadmium resistance was cloned from Pseudomonas putida 06909, a rhizosphere bacterium, and sequence analysis revealed two divergently transcribed genes, cadA and cadR. CadA was similar to cadmium-transporting ATPases kn...

Phosphorus affects the sorption of many metals and arsenate to iron (hydr)oxides. This may influence the mobility and bioavailability of metals and arsenate in soil and water. Phosphorus therefore plays an important role in, e.g., determining the ecotoxicological risk of contaminants in soils. The overall aim of this thesis was to improve the understanding of lead(II), copper(II), cadmium(II) a...

The syntheses and structures of five mononuclear zinc and cadmium selone complexes along with a polynuclear cadmium selone 1D chain were described. The mononuclear homoleptic zinc selone complexes were the first examples of structurally characterized zinc(ii) selone complexes. The spectral properties of the zinc and cadmium selone derivatives were investigated. Interesting structural diversity,...

The synthesis of ionic complexes cadmium(II) chloride and cobalt(II) with N,N'-diethylthiourea (detu) ligands has not been previously reported. Therefore, in this research, the was carried out to study structure characterization two complex compounds. cadmium(II)-detu synthesized using direct reaction method a ratio between Cd(II) salt detu ligand 1:2. Meanwhile, cobalt(II)-detu Co(II) 2:4. hav...

In present study, molecular dynamics simulation of Cadmium (II), Lead (II) and Copper (II) removal from aqueous electrolyte solutions using the ion-exchange process with the zeolite particles was done. The results showed that, most of the particles had the highest affinity of ion exchanging with Lead (II) and the lowest affinity with Copper (II). The calculated mean ion-exchange ratios showed t...

In this work for the first time, Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles functionalized with isatin groups as a magnetic nanosorbent was applied for the simultaneous extraction of trace amounts of cadmium (II). The characterization of this nanosorbentwas studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of seve...
