oxime extractants 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzaldehyde oxime (hl1) and 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde oxime (hl2) were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. suitable lipophilic nature of the prepared extractants allowed examining the ability of these molecules for extraction-separation of copper from its mixture with normally associated meta...

in this work, the removal of copper from an aqueous solution by granular activated carbon (gac) in the presence of competitor ions was studied. a batch adsorption was carried out and different parameters such as ph, contact time, initial copper concentration and competitor ions concentration were changed to determine the optimum conditions for adsorption. the optimum ph required for maximum ads...

heavy metals, as gamma alumina nanoparticles pollutants, in water resources. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to evaluate the removal of copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions using gamma alumina nanoparticles as a adsorbent. Batch adsorption studies carried out to study various parameters included contact time, initial concentration of copper (II) ions, pH, and gamma alumina nanoparti...

The present study has investigated the synthesis of copper nanoparticles via copper dismutation reaction in an aqueous solution and ambient conditions. Copper (II) chloride hydrate ( ), sodium oleate (SO), sodium chloride (NaCl) and ethylene diamine (EN) have been used as copper (I, II) ions source, surfactant, chloride ions supplier and ligand, respectively. Also, an amount of hydrochloric aci...

The research results concerning continuous removal of phosphate (V) ions from solutions containing 1.0 or 0.20 mass % of phosphate (V) ions and 0.2 or 0.5 mg/kg of copper (II) ions using magnesium and ammonium ions addition are presented. Continuous reaction crystallization of struvite MgNH4PO4 × 6H2O ran both under stoichiometric conditions and at 20% excess of magnesium ions (pH 9,  900 s). ...

The influence of copper (II) ions on the growth, accumulation properties and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of a growing culture of Aspergillus niger B-77 were studied. Microbial growth, the level of copper (II) accumulation and SOD activity depended on the initial copper (II) concentration. Aspergillus niger is able to accumulate large amounts of copper (II) from the nutrient medium with ...

Although the physiological function of the prion protein remains unknown, in vitro experiments suggest that the protein may bind copper (II) ions and play a role in copper transport or homoeostasis in vivo. The unstructured N-terminal region of the prion protein has been shown to bind up to six copper (II) ions, with each of these ions co-ordinated by a single histidine imidazole and nearby bac...

Enterococcus faecium, a lactic acid bacterium (LAB), was evaluated for its ability to remove copper(II) ions from water. The effects of the pH, contact time, initial concentration of copper(II) ions, and temperature on the biosorption rate and capacity were studied. The initial concentrations of copper(II) ions used to determine the maximum amount of biosorbed copper(II) ions onto lyophilised l...
