background and aims: the removing of (potential) toxic heavy metal ions from sewage, especially in industrial and mining waste effluents, has been widely studied in recent years. the aim of present study was to investigate the various methods for lead removal of lead ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this study was a review research. data were collected through different databases in va...

p-tert-Butylcalixarene hexacarboxylic acid initially binds with low symmetry, to later adopt a highly symmetric up-down alternating conformation in the presence of Pb, Sr or Ba. The conformational dynamics for the three ions are distinct, from 15 hours, to 20 days, to 38 days, respectively.

PbSe/CdSe core/shell nanocrystals with quantum yield of 70% were obtained by the "successive ion layer adsorption and reaction" technology in solution. The thickness of the CdSe shell was exactly controlled. A series of spectral red shifts with the CdSe shell growth were observed, which was attributed to the combined effect of the surface polarization and the expansion of carriers' wavefunction...

The asymmetric unit of the title Pb-based coordination polymer, [Pb2(C24H16N2O8)(H2O)2] n , consists of one Pb(II) cation, half of a 4,4'-(1,4-phenyl-ene)bis-(2,6-dimethyl-pyridine-3,5-di-carb-oxyl-ate (L (4-)) ligand and one coordinating water mol-ecule. The centers of the benzene ring of the ligand and the four-membered Pb/O/Pb/O ring are located on centers of inversion. The Pb(II) ion is coo...

Elusive for over 100 years, deltahedral Zintl ions of silicon are finally synthesized and structurally characterized. The two clusters reported here, Si93- and Si52-, are analogous to known clusters of the heavier members of this group: Ge, Sn, and Pb.

A preconcentration/separation procedure is presented for the solid phase extractionof trace cadmium and lead ions as their 2-propylpiperidine-1-carbodithioate (PPCD) chelates inenvironmental samples on Nano Graphene, prior to cadmium and lead determinations by atomicabsorption spectrometry. The preconcentration procedure was optimized by using model solutionscontaining c...

a good understanding of adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics is required to design and operate an adsorption process. this study was conducted to assess the adsorption percentage of pb2+ ions as a function of contact time, solution ph and temperatures, and adsorbent dosage through a series of batch experiments. the methods including zeta potentials, specific surface area measurements and t...
