In this research, a PVC membrane electrode for Manganese (II) ions based on N-(2-Picolinamidoethyl)Picolinamide as neutral carrier was prepared. The electrode exhibits a Nemstian responseover Mn(II) concentration range of (1.0 x10-5 t01.0 X 10-1M) with a slope of 29.3±0.5 mV perdecade of concentration with a working pH range of 4.0-9.0. It has a fast response time (

background & aims of the study: heavy metals discharge to environment is a worldwide problem growing in scale. when they accumulate in the environment and in food chains, they can profoundly disrupt biological processes. peganum harmala seeds (phs) was used as a bio-sorbent, using a continuous system for removing pb2+, co2+, ni2+ and cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions. materials and methods: phs ...

Negative air ions (NAI) produce biochemical reactions that increase the levels of the mood chemical serotonin in the environment. Moreover, they benefit both the psychological well being and the human body's physiological condition. The aim of this research was to estimate and measure the spatial distributions of negative and positive air ions in a residential garden in central Taiwan. Negative...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the concentration of Al ions and the substrate/enzyme ratio on pepsin and trypsin activity in vitro. The experimental design was a combination of three Al ion concentrations (0.25; 2.5 and 25.0 μg Al/ml of reaction solution) and two substrate/enzyme ratios (S/E = 10 and 100 for pepsin, and 100 and 1000 for trypsin). Enzymatic activ...

in order to study the cu(ii) ion selective electrode, an optimized membrane was prepared by mixing of 30 mg of pvc powdered, 5 mg of considered ionophore, 60 mg of plasticizer and 5 mg of additive. the sensor showed a near nernstian response for cu(ii) ions over a concentration range from 1.0×0-6 –1.0×0-2 m with a slope of 28.90.5 mv per concentration decade with a working ph range of 3.5-6.3. ...

A organic-solution-processable functionalized-graphene (SPFGraphene) material has been studied on pre-concentration and determination of trace Mo(II)ions. In this process, the effects of pH solution, elution conditions on pre-concentration of trace Mo(II) were studied and the effect of interfering ions was also investigated. A selective method for the fast determination of trace amounts of Mo (...

Adsorption and water treatment of Ca (II) and Mg (II) hardness were investigated via adsorption of metal ions onto commercial polyacrylic acid hydrogel beads as a novel sorbent for metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+) removal and water treatment. Batch equilibrium technique was carried out under the influence of solution pH, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and...

After a 20 min initial washout, the rate of loss of radioactively labeled sodium ions from sodium-enriched muscle cells is sensitive to the external sodium and potassium ion concentrations. In the absence of external potassium ions, the presence of external sodium ions increases the sodium efflux. In the presence of external potassium ions, the presence of external sodium ions decreases the sod...
