With the rapid growing of nanotechnology, the effects of nanomaterials released into the environment on plants have drawn more and more attention. Iron is an element essential for plant growth and development. Iron is involved in chlorophyll formation; iron deficiency will cause a plant disorder known as chlorosis. However, whether iron in nano-ferric oxide can be absorbed by plants were rarely...

Nano-scale copper oxide with various morphologies is synthesized via the thermal oxide method and growth in a 5 wt% NaCl solution of spray fog environment. The nano-scale copper oxide is grown on copper metal sheets via the thermal oxide method at 650 ̊C for 60 minutes. Nano-scale copper oxide grains and nanowires are induced on copper metal sheets then placed in 5 wt% NaCl solution of salt spra...

Oxidation–reduction titrations and potentiometric methods provide a convenient experimental means to quantitatively determine compositions of unknown mixtures containing oxidizable/reducible species. Over the past decade, numerous titration methods have appeared in this Journal (1–6) and in standard laboratory manuals (7–10) involving common titrants such as potassium dichromate, iodine, potass...

Chromium is an environmentally significant human carcinogen with complicated metabolism and an unknown mechanism of mutagenesis. Chromium(VI) is taken up by cells as the chromate anion and is reduced intracellularly via reactive intermediates to stable Cr(III) species. Chromium(III) forms tight complexes with biological ligands, such as DNA and proteins, which are slow to exchange. In vitro, Cr...

background : hexavalent chromium ( cr (vi)) is an important contaminant in surface and groundwater and its removal from contaminated water and wastewater has received interest in recent years. this study aimed to explain the removal process of cr (vi) from aqueous solution using nano hydroxyapatite (n-hap) as an adsorbent material. methods: cr (vi) removal experiments with the prepared n-hap we...

A new kinetic spectrophotometic method for the determination of trace amount Chromium (III) in Teareal samples has been described based on it s the catalytic effect on the oxidations of 1 - ( 2 –PyridylAzo ) - 2 - Naphthol, (PAN), by potassium bromated in sulfuric acid. The reaction is followedspec- trophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 469 nm. Under the optimumcondi...

zinc and iron nano-oxides (100 ppb) were promoted the hypericin and hyperforin production in hypericum perforatum cell suspension culture. high performance liquid chromatography method was used for detectection and identification of hypericin and hyperforin in h. perfuratum cell suspension cultures elicited with different concentrations of zinc and iron nano-oxide (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppb) after...
