this study investigated the applicability of polyethylene glycol (peg-4000) coated fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles for the selective removal of toxic pb (ii) ion from wastewater. the fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles of 24 nm were synthesized using a coprecipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibratingsample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd). sem image...

The potential of Bread Fruit (artocarpus altilis)Seed Husk (BFSH) as low-cost biosorbent for the removal of Pb (II), Zn (II) and Co (II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by the Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR)spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The batch methodology was utilized to dete...

The complexation reactions between N,N'-3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanebis (salicylaldimine) [saldioxen(I)] and Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) were studied spectrophotometrically in methanol solution at 25 °C. The stoichiometry of the complexes were obtained as 2:1 and 1:1 sadioxen-metal ion using mole ratio method. The formation constants of the complexes were determined, a...

The present investigation describes the evaluation of feasibility of MWCNT-Fe3O4 nanocomposite toward adsorptive removal of Co(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution in batch mode. The Fe3O4–MWCNT hybrid was prepared using a simple one-pot strategy via in situ growth of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles onto the surface of the MWCNT...

the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

cobalt is widely used in different industrial processes for production of various synthetic materials. for assessment of human exposure to toxic metal of co (ii), environmental and biological monitoring are essential processes, in which, preparation of samples is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone aspects prior to instrumental analysis. the aim of this study was to achieve optimum f...

in this work, a procedure for preconcentration of cobalt using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (dllme) with the reagent 1-nitroso 2-naphtol as complexing reagent was developed. at ph 4, co(ii) was complexed with 1-nitroso 2-naphtol and extracted into the fine droplets formed when mixing chloroform (extraction solvent), ethanol (disperser solvent) and the sample solution. after extracti...

Metal ion coordination to nucleic acids is not only required for charge neutralization, it is also essential for the biological function of nucleic acids. The structural impact of different metal ion coordinations of DNA helices is an open question. We carried out X-ray diffraction analyses of the interactions of the two transition metal ions Co(II) and Cu(II) and an alkaline earth metal ion Ba...

the reaction between ni(ii), co(ii), cr(iii) bitrates, ni(ii) chloride and ambidentate a-keto ylide benzoylmethylenetriphenylphosphine (bppy) resulted in isolation of [ni(bppy)2](no3)2.2h2o, [ni(bppy)2]cl2, [co(bppy)2](no3)2 and [cr(bppy)3](no3)3; 2h2o. the compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared 1hnmr spectroscopy, molar conductivity in solution and molecular weight mea...
