The nanoparticles of gold doped with various percentage of copper (Cu 10%, 25%, 75%) were synthesized by wet-chemical method at room temperature. Copper (II) sulfate and gold (III) chloride trihydride was taken as the metal precursor and ascorbic acid as a reducing agent and anhydride maleic as surfactant. The reaction is performed with high-speed stirring at room temperature under nitrogen atm...

BACKGROUND Short-term high copper intake does not appear to affect indexes of copper status or functions related to copper status, but the effects of long-term high copper intake are unknown. OBJECTIVE A study was conducted in men to determine the effect of long-term high copper intake on indexes of copper status, oxidant damage, and immune function. DESIGN Nine men were confined to a metab...

A selected solid complex of the Schiff base ligand derived from Glutaric anhydride with Cu(II) ion was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, Electronic, ESR Spectral Analyses, Magnetic susceptibility and Molar Conductance Measurements. The disappearance of ν(O-H) hydroxyl band of the phenolic and the lowering shift of the stretching frequency of the ν(CH=N) azomethine band in the ligand after...

BACKGROUND The antimicrobial effect of copper has long been recognized and has a potential application in the healthcare setting as a mechanism to reduce environmental contamination and thus prevent healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). AIM To review the rationale for copper use, the mechanism of its antimicrobial effect, and the evidence for its efficacy. METHODS A PubMed search of the p...

INTRODUCTION There have been many reports and papers on deficient, normal and high levels of copper in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of this study is to evaluate copper status in a series of more than 300 patients with thalassemia major and determine the degree of copper deficiency or excess. METHODS Three hundred and seventy patients with thalassemia major over 5 years of age were...

in this work, ag-cu nanoparticles (with different percentages of copper, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% cu) were synthesized by wet chemical method. copper(ii) sulfate and silver nitrate were taken as metal precursors, ascorbic acid as reducing agent and anhydride maleic (ma) as a modifier. the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) technique and scanning electron mic...

Two polypyridyl copper(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)(phen-dione)Cl]Cl (1) and [Cu(bpy) (phen-dione)Cl]Cl (2), (where Phen =1,10-phenanthroline, bpy =2,2'-bipyridine and Phen-dione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione), were used as efficient catalysts for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. The effects of various parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, etc. were studied. The ...

however, the conventional gold recovery process is cyanidation, due to the recent environmental laws; researchers are looking for alternative methods for the recovery of gold. furthermore, the copper anode slime is one of the most important secondary sources of gold (about 1200 ppm). so, the main objective of the current work is gold separation from copper anode slime as a rich secondary source...
