in this work, a novel method is described for the preconcentration of pb2+, cd2+ and zn2+ ions in environmental samples using uniform silanized mesopor (lus-1) functionalized by ethylenediamine groups as a new extractant. the determination of ions is done by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (icp-oes). the extraction time and efficiency, ph and amount of adsorbent, minimu...

BACKGROUND The coexistence of Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions in nature has a significant influence on their environmental behaviors in soils and bioavailability for plants. While many studies have been done on the mutual toxicity of Cd2+ and Zn2+, few studies can be found in the literature focused on the interaction of Cd2+ and Zn2+ on soil clay fractions especially in terms of energy relationship. RESUL...

In this workN2,N6-di(thiazol-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (DPD), was synthesized via reaction of 2-aminothiazole and 2,6- pyridinedicarboxylic acid in n-methylpyrrolidine. The obtained (DPD) was characterized with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Finally, a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent was synthesized by m...

Cadmium ions (Cd2+) have been reported to accumulate in bovine tissues, although Cd2+ cytotoxicity has not been investigated thoroughly in this species. Zinc ions (Zn2+) have been shown to antagonize the toxic effects of heavy metals such as Cd2+ in some systems. The present study investigated Cd2+ cytotoxicity in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) epithelial cells, and explored whether this was ...

Uptake of manganese by Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872 was energy dependent and obeyed saturation kinetics (Km = 0.65 microM; Vmax = 0.12 mumol/min per g [dry weight]). Uptake showed optima at 27 degrees C and pH 9.5. 54Mn2+ accumulated by the cells was released by treatment with toluene or by exchange for unlabeled manganese ions, via an energy-dependent process. Co2+, Fe2+, Cd2+, and Zn...

The chemically modified guar gum sulphonic acid (GSA) resin was used for removal and pre-concentration of Zn2+, Cd2+, Fe2+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions in aqueous solutions and steel industry effluent from Jodhpur, India. This type of ion exchange resin represents a new class of hybrid ion exchangers with higher stability, reproducibility and selectivity for toxic metal ions. The characterisation of the...

A sensitive and selective solid phase extraction procedure for the determination of traces of Cd(II),Zn(II) and Ag(I) ions has been developed. An alumina-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) coated on with2,3 Di Hydro 2,3 para tolyl Qinazoline (1 H)- 4 one (DPTQO). The influences of the analyticalparameters including pH and sample volume were investigated. Common coexisting ions did notinterfere on the...

The removal of Cd2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ by coal bottom ash has been investigated. In single metal system, metal uptake was studied in batch adsorption experiments as a function of pH (2–3), contact time (5–180 min), initial metal concentration (50–400 mg/L), adsorbent concentration (5–40 g/L), particle size, and ionic strength (0–1 M NaCl). Removal percentages of metals ions increased with increasin...

Heavy metals are expected to affect the biological activity of various metal-containing proteins, including transcriptional regulators. We studied the effects of several heavy metal ions on the DNA-binding activity of a Zn-finger transcription factor, Sp1. With respect to both DNA elements through which Sp1 acts positively and negatively, Cd2+ inhibited DNA-binding of Sp1 at 20 microM or higher...

a sensitive and selective solid phase extraction procedure for the determination of traces of cd(ii),zn(ii) and ag(i) ions has been developed. an alumina-sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) coated on with2,3 di hydro 2,3 para tolyl qinazoline (1 h)- 4 one (dptqo). the influences of the analyticalparameters including ph and sample volume were investigated. common coexisting ions did notinterfere on the...
