Heavy metals released into the surface and ground water has been a major preoccupation for many years because of their increased discharge, acute toxicity, non-biodegradable nature and tendency for bioaccumulation [1-3]. Iron a common contaminant enters the water bodies through effluents of industries such as electroplating, mining, steel processing etc. The presence of Fe (II) in water results...

We present the first sensing system for metal ions based on the combination of separation/preconcentration by a permeation liquid membrane (PLM) and fluorescence detection with an optical fiber. As a model, a system for the detection of Cu(II) ions was developed. The wall of a polypropylene hollow fiber serves as support for the permeable liquid membrane. The lumen of the fiber contains the str...

In this study, biosorption of heavy metal and dye by microbes will investigate. Optimum pH values of the maximum heavy metal biosorption will be finding. The bioremoval of the dye also investigate at different pH, Removal rates will measure respectively. The presence of heavy metal with dye analysis will be done for uptake by biosorbents .The results expected to indicate that the isolated bioso...

A comparative research has been developed for acidity and stability constants of M(TTA) and M(Asp) complexes which have been determined by potentiometric pH titration. Depending on metal ion–binding properties, vital differences in building complex were observed. The present study shows that in M(TTA) complexes, metal ions are coordinated to the carboxyl groups, but in M(Asp) some metal ions ar...

Different contaminants are released to wastewater with the rapid industrialization of human society, including heavy metal ions, organics, bacteria, viruses, and so on, which are serious harmful to human health. Among all water contaminations, heavy metal ions, such as Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Hg2+, have high toxic and nonbiodegradable properties, can cause severe health problems in animals a...

The energetic of interaction of metal ions with C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) Spirulina platensis were investigated using optical and thermodynamic methods. Comparison of the binding constants of heavy metals with C-PC by the instrumentality of difference methods shown, that binding affinities of toxic and heavy metal ions for C-PC strongly depend upon the metal. The efficiency of interaction for differ...

Heavy metal contamination is one of the major concerns to human health because these substances are toxic and retained by the ecological system. Therefore, in recent years, there has been a pressing need for fast and reliable methods for the analysis of heavy metal ions in environmental and biological samples. Quantum dots (QDs) have facilitated the development of sensitive sensors over the pas...

Abstract A new adsorbent, ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate modified gold nanoparticles grafted Mn doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (EGBTG-Au@Mn-Fe3O4 NPs) were synthesized through chemical precipitation followed by an oxidative Mn doping process to use for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of Hg, and Cu ions in artificial and natural saliva. The prepared adsorbent was characterize...
