This study was conducted to investigate organoclay prepared using montmorillonite clay with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and a long-chain organic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide for the removal of nitrate ion from aqueous solutions. Adsorbents were evaluated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR),...

Nitrate reductase activity and protein percentage of various tree parts of two Populus clones were determined in relation to nitrate ion activity. Nitrogen was supplied as NH(4)NO(3) in a nutriculture system. Wisconsin-5 had significantly greater nitrate reductase activity than Tristis No. 1. Protein percentages of leaf plastochron index 10 leaves (tenth leaf below first leaf lamina exceeding 2...

minoodasht which is located 18 km. far from the east of gonbad-kaboos, is one of the most important agricultural areas of iran. a great development in the agriculture of this area has been achieved by drilling wells, building canals, constructing the dams and also irrigation of the farms by pump. for determination of the physical and chemical characteristics of the waters from different sources...

a simple extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of miconazole nitratein both pure and pharmaceutical preparation. the method is based on the formation of ion-pair complex of thedrug with acidic dye bromothymol blue (btb) in acidic condition, followed by its extraction in organic solvent(chloroform). the absorbance was measured against the corresponding blank....

In the tetranuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Pb(4)(NO(3))(8)(C(11)H(10)N(2))(4)], irregular PbN(2)O(5) and PbN(2)O(4) coordination polyhedra occur. The hepta-coordinated lead(II) ion is bonded to two bidentate and one monodentate nitrate ion and one bidentate 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine (mbpy) ligand. The six-coordinate lead(II) ion is bonded to one bidentate and two monodentate nitrate an...

The reaction of cadmium nitrate and sodium nitrite in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline yields the mixed nitrate-nitrite title complex, [Cd(NO(2))(1.75)(NO(3))(0.25)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]. The metal ion is bis-chelated by two N-heterocycles as well as by the nitrate/nitrite ions in a distorted dodeca-hedral CdN(4)O(4) coordination environment. One nitrite group is ordered; the other is disordere...

nitrate is an anion of major importance particularly in biological areas. excessive amounts in water supplies indicate pollution from sewage or agricultural effluents. the effects of excessive quantities of nitrate in water are well known. in this research structural modification of natural clinoptilolite by isomorphic substitution was performed. isomorphously substituted zeolite was prepared u...

Complexations of lanthanide ions with 5,6-dialkyl-2,6-bis(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine [RBTP; R = H (HBTP), methyl (MeBTP), ethyl (EtBTP)] derivatives have been studied in the acetonitrile medium by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectrophotometric titration. These studies were carried out in the absence and presence o...
