Water and sediment samples have been collected from five different stations, located along Djendjen River between February and June, 2016 so that the concentrations of Cd, Ni, Zn, and Cu could be determined. The extent of the sediment pollution has been assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Ig...

Purpose. Attapulgite was modified by sodium dihydrogen phosphate, oxalic acid-activated phosphate rock powder, potassium calcium superphosphate, ammonium and fused calcium-magnesium used in the remediation of Cd, Zn, Ni. Materials Methods. six kinds (ratio: 1 : 2), improvement effect passivation material on soil polluted cadmium, zinc, nickel determined. CaCl2-extractable toxicity characteristi...

The present investigation deals with the accumulation of heavy metals in fields contaminated with fly ash from a thermal power plant and subsequent uptake in different parts of naturally grown plants. Results revealed that in the contaminated site, the mean level of all the metals (Cd, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu, Ni, Mn and Fe) in soil and different parts (root and shoots) of plant species were found to be...

In this study, we used microstructure evolution and electron microprobe analysis (EPMA) to investigate the interfacial reactions in Sn-Zn and Sn-Zn-Al solder balls with Au/Ni surface finish ball-grid-array (BGA) bond pad over a period of isothermal aging at 150°C. During reflow, Au dissolved into the solder balls and reacted with Zn to form g-Au3Zn7 and g2-AuZn3. As aging progressed, g and g2 t...

BACKGROUND The present work was designed to detect heavy metal contents of Al, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ni, V, Co, Cr and Cu in sediments and shells of the Trachycardium lacunosum collected in polluted and unpolluted areas along the Persian Gulf. METHODS The samples were taken from surface sediments (0-10 cm) and shells of Trachycardium lacunosum in two separated areas (polluted and unpolluted) in norther...

362 Abstract—In this study, the sorption behaviour of natural (clinoptilolite) zeolites with respect to cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) has been studied in order to consider its application to purity metal finishing wastewaters. The batch method has been employed, using competitive sorption system with metal concentrations in solution ranging from 50 to 300 mg/l....

Chemical forms of Zn, Ni, Cu, and Pb in municipal sewage sludge were investigated by adding humus soil to sludge and by performing sequential extraction procedures. In the final sludge mixtures, Zn and Ni were mainly found in Fe/Mn oxide-bound (F3) and organic matter/sulfide-bound (F4) forms. For Zn, exchangeable (F1), carbonate-bound (F2), and F3 forms were transformed to F4 and residual forms...

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...

The Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes with phenylpyridylformamidine (PhPyF) ligand, [Ni(PhPyF)Cl2] and [Zn(PhPyF)Cl2], have been prepared and investigated using different chemical techniques such as elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-vis spectra and magnetic moment. The obtained chemical analysis data showed the formation of 1:1 (metal: ligand) ratio. The square planar and tetrahedral g...
