in present study, molecular dynamics simulation of cadmium (ii), lead (ii) and copper (ii) removal from aqueous electrolyte solutions using the ion-exchange process with the zeolite particles was done. the results showed that, most of the particles had the highest affinity of ion exchanging with lead (ii) and the lowest affinity with copper (ii). the calculated mean ion-exchange ratios showed t...

background and aims. this study aimed to investigate release of nickel ion from three types of nickel-titanium-based wires in the as-received state and after immersion in a simulated oral environment. materials and methods. forty specimens from each of the single-strand niti (rematitan “lite”), multi-strand niti (speed supercable) and copper niti (damon copper niti) were selected. twenty specim...

Background & Aims of the Study:  Soil and water pollution to heavy metals is a serious threat for environment and human health. Finding an effective way for refining water from these metals is very important. The aim of this study was modifying electrospun polymeric nano fibers and studying its efficiency for copper ion omission in water solutions. Materials & Method...

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...

background: it is well established that oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (ldl) plays a causal role in human atherogenesis and the risk of atherosclerosis is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. we examined the in vitro effect of glucose on native and glycated ldl oxidation using copper ion dependent oxidation system. methods: in this study, ldl was isolated from plasma...

The removal of copper (II) ion by using ultrasound pre-treatment to increase the pores structure and surface area on peanut husk powder via direct sonication (ultrasound probe) and indirect ultrasound (ultrasound bath) at powder level 3.5 W. In previous studies, researchers had applied ultrasound simultaneous with adsorption process. This method is not suitable to treat huge amount of heavy met...

Ion pair dispersive liquid- liquid microextraction (IP-DLLME) method combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed for the determination of trace amounts of copper(II). By using pyrocatechol violet as chelating agent and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as an ion pairing agent, the trace amount of copper(II) was extracted in chloroform. The factors influencing the formation cop...

We examined the in vitro effect of glucose on native and glycated LDL oxidation using copper ion dependent oxidation system. Methods: In this study, LDL was isolated from plasma...

We studied effects of free copper ion activity and total copper concentration on copper uptake by lettuce from nutrient solution and a model was developed. In ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and dissolved organic matter treatments, when pH and free copper ion activity were the same, root copper concentration did not change with the total copper concentration. However, at fixed pH and total copp...
