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,...

zns  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  in  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  the effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  the nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...

Cadmium sulfide particles were prepared by precipitation from acid solution. A radiotracer technique with 109Cd was applied tomeasure the solubili W of cadmium sulfide at various pH's. Filtration, centrifugation, ulttacentrifugation, and dialysis were used to separate the particles from the solution. Only the last two techniques proved to be successful. The solubility of cadmium sulfide in wate...

Desulfotomaculum nigrificans, a typical sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB) was successfully grown in the presence of 12-210 mg/L of zinc. Complete bioremoval of zinc was achieved in 2 days for 12 mg/L while the bioremoval efficiency was about 70% in 40 days in the presence of 210 mg/L initial concentration of zinc, attesting to the inhibition of bacterial cell growth at higher zinc concentrations...

The extraction rates of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) with dithizone (H2dz) in the presence of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) were measured, and the possible kinetic separation of cadmium(II) from zinc(II) was investigated. Upon the addition of NTA, the difference in the extraction rate between cadmium(II) and zinc(II) became large. Based on the observed rate constant under the condition [NTA] = 1 x 10...

This study aims to determine the current status of lake water quality in Gelanggang Expo area using Pollution Index (IP) method. It is found that there has been pollution Lake Sentani with high concentrations certain pollutants, such as Nitrite NO2-N (0.06 - 0.15 mg/L), Phosphate PO4-P (0.2 0.45 Sulfide S-H2S (0.002 4.26 Cadmium (0.01 0.3 Chromium valence 6 (0.05 0.26 Copper (0.02 2.15 Zinc 0.5...

Morphological transformation of Syrian hamster embryo cells was induced by direct exposure to some inorganic salts of nickel, cadmium, chromium, beryllium, and arsenic but not salts of iron, titanium, tungstate, zinc, aluminum, and nickel sulfide amorphous. Furthermore, no transfor mation was observed in untreated controls. Lethality, mdi cated by a reduction in cloning efficiency, occurred wit...

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were grown using wet chemical method by dissolving the reactants of cadmium acetate and sodium sulfide in the presence of thioglycerol (TG) as capping agent in ethanol solvent. Different nanoparticle sizes and size distribution were obtained through varying the molarities of thioglycerol. At higher TG concentration, synthesis provides a nearly monodisperse nanopart...

The purpose of this study was to investigate, under standard conditions, the bioaccumulation of zinc and cadmium in Arrhenatherum elatius, a perennial grass with a high biomass production. Nine populations of three different origins were tested: three metallicolous populations (mpop); three non-metallicolous populations (nmpop) and three populations developing on soils moderately metal polluted...

Cadmium is classified as a human carcinogen, and its disturbance in zinc homeostasis has been well established. However, its extent as well as molecular mechanisms involved in cadmium carcinogenesis has yet to be fully clarified. To this end, we used the zinc specific probe Zinquin to visualize and to quantitatively evaluate changes in the concentration of labile zinc, in an in vitro model of h...
