electrokinetic remediation is one of the most promising in situ or ex situ processes for decontamination of heavy metals, anions and polar organic compositions from the soil. in this study, we investigated the efficacy of this method in removing mercury from clayey soil (with kaolin to sand weight ratio of 2:1) and from gold mine tailing dam sediment and determined optimum removal conditions. t...

Epithelial cells of the toad bladder were disaggregated with EDTA, trypsin, hyaluronidase, or collagenase and were then scraped free of the underlying connective tissue. In most experiments EDTA was complexed with a divalent cation before the tissue was scraped. Q(OO2), sucrose and inulin spaces, and electrolytes of the isolated cells were measured. Cells disaggregated by collagenase or hyaluro...

Este trabalho descreve um estudo da reação de ancoramento de H[Ru(III)Cl 2 (H 2 EDTA)].4.5 H 2 O na superfície da sílica gel funcionalizada (SF) com o composto [3-(2aminoetil)aminopropil]trimetoxissilano (AEATS), gerando por meio de ligação amida o composto dimérico (EDTA) 2 Ru 2 (IV,IV) na superfície da sílica modificada. A oxidação da água por esse complexo imobilizado na superfície da sílica...

BACKGROUND: Metal induced toxicity with wide range of physiological, biochemical and behavioral dysfunctions was reported in many studies. The chelation has been used for treatment to toxic metals’ exposure for many years. In our current clinical study, we compared different chelation protocols and two forms of EDTA (sodium calcium edetate and sodium edetate) in treatments of toxic metal exposu...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is widely used in the life sciences as chelating ligand of metal ions. However, formation of supramolecular EDTA aggregates at pH > 8 has been reported, which may lead to artifactual assay results. When applied as a buffer component at pH ≈ 10 in differential scanning fluorimetry (TSA) using SYPRO Orange as fluorescent dye, we observed a sharp change in fl...

Um método complexométrico simples e seletivo é proposto para a determinação de tálio na presença de outros metais, pela habilidade do etanetiol em mascarar seletivamente íons tálio (III). Em solução, o tálio presente foi inicialmente complexado com um excesso conhecido de EDTA, sendo o excesso titulado com uma solução padrão de sulfato de zinco em pH 5-6 (hexamina), usando-se xilenol como indic...

The effectiveness of EDTA compounds on iron fortificants for potential use in Egyptian balady bread was tested in sixty SpragueDawley weanling male rats by the haemoglobin regeneration efficiency (HRE) method. To confirm HRE-derived findings, eight groups of ten animals were repleted with a modified American Institute of Nutrition (1977; AIN) 76A diet, fortified with ferric phosphate, electroly...

Mitochondrial swelling techniques were used to evaluate the effects of the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin on renal cortical mitochondrial monovalent cation permeability. Gentamicin behaved like EDTA to enhance energy-dependent Na+and K+-acetate uptake with a relatively greater effect on Na+-acetate uptake. MgZ+ prevented and reversed the effects of both EDTA and gentamicin. Neither agent ...
