The potential of naphthol blue–black-modified Amberlite IRA-400 anion-exchange resin for separation of heavy metal pollutants has been explored. The distribution coefficients (Kd) of metal ions in several acidic solvent systems have been studied. The effect of the dissociation constant of the solvent on the distribution coefficient of metal ions has also been investigated. On the basis of Kd va...

the major aim of the present study was to investigate element (fe, ni, pb, v, zn) concentrations in sediment and different tissues of phragmities australis and typha latifolia in hor al-azim wetland southwest iran. sampling of sediments and aquatic plants was carried out during spring and summer 2014. results showed that the mean  concentrations of elements in phragmities australis  in root and...

In the present study, we investigated effects of Cu or Ni additions on precipitation intermetallic phases in heat-resistant aluminum alloy with a ternary composition Al–5Mg–3.5Zn (mol%). The quaternary alloys 1 mol%Cu mol%Ni content were solution-treated at 480°C and subsequently aged 300°C for different periods. Both have slight effect age-hardening these 300°C. added element partitioned into ...

In the Mekong River delta and its associated coastal zone trace elements concentrations (Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb) were measured in the dissolved phase (DP) during dry (March 1997) and wet (October 1997) seasons. As, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Al were also measured in suspended matter (SM) and total and organic carbon, trace elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) and macro elements in superficial sediment...

A new ohmic contact scheme for gallium nitride is presented. The use of Nitrideforming metal Over Gallide-forming metal, “NOG”, can modify the thermodynamic activity of N and Ga near the interface. This in turn can modify the near-surface point defect concentrations, particularly the vacancies of Ga and N. The principle of this contact scheme was shown to be consistent with results from Ni/Au, ...

The Gulf of Paria receives heavy metal input from urban runoff, industrial and agricultural activity, sewage and domestic wastes: both from the west coast and from inland areas of Trinidad. Non-residual concentrations of nine metals, as well as total mercury concentrations, were used to determine spatial distributions of heavy metals in sediments in the Gulf of Paria. Surficial sediment samples...

In the present study, we investigated effects of Cu or Ni additions on precipitation intermetallic phases in heat-resistant aluminum alloy with a ternary composition Al-5Mg-3.5Zn (mol%). The quaternary alloys 1 mol%Cu mol%Ni content were solution-treated at 480 °C and subsequently aged 300 for different periods. Both have slight effect age-hardening these °C. added element partitioned into not ...

We have studied the contents of trace elements of nutritional or toxicological interest in 90 samples of whole, low-fat, skim, condensed, evaporated and powdered milks. Slurries of the samples were prepared with Triton X-100 and analysed using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. The temperature-time programme of the graphite oven was optimized for each element, and the accuracy, prec...

the concentration of cu, mn, ni and zn were determined in tomatoes and onions samples using atomic absorption spectrometry. a total of 32 samples each of tomatoes and onions were collected from the exposed and control sites for analysis. the trace metals (cu, mn, ni and zn) concentration in tomatoes wee found to be 6.2406, 6.5521 , 5.7375 and 8.9297 mg/kg-1, respectively. while those of onions ...
