This article presents the regularities of reduction sulfur, nitrate and nitrite ions by sulfur reducing bacteria Desulfuromonas sp., which were isolated from water man-made Yavorivske Lake (Lviv Region, Ukraine), under influence potassium dichromate. in process anaerobic respiration can use reduce different electron acceptors, such as nitrates, nitrites, oxidized forms heavy metals, particular,...

The difference in electrochemical properties of three crown-type polyoxometalates multisubstituted by Fe, Ni or Co ions and their precursor has been rationalized with respect to their electrocatalytic performances studied in solution and in the immobilized state within the layer-by-layer film formed with a positively charged pentaerythritol-based Ru(II)metallodendrimer. The film assembly was mo...

In the structure of the title compound, [Cu(2)(NO(2))(4)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(4)], the asymmetric unit consists of two moieties containing one Cu ion, two nitrite ions and two 1-ethyl-1H-imidazole mol-ecules associated via weak Cu-O inter-actions. Each Cu(II) atom displays an elongted square-pyramidal CuN(2)O(3) coordination geometry with a slight tetra-hedral distortion in the basal plane. The dimeri...

in this study, the removal of cadmium and lead ions from aqueous solution by nanocrystalline magnetite was investigated. the nanocrystalline magnetite was synthesized by mechanochemical activation of hematite in a high energy planetary mill in argon atmosphere for 45 hours. the ability of the synthesized nanocrystalline magnetite for removal of cd(ii) and pb(ii) from aqueous solutions was studi...

a 3-km reach of the luján river was studied by establishing 6 sampling stations, which were from 300 to 500 m apart. the first station was the control reading for river nutrients and particulate material. the second station measured the continuous effluent from a wastewater treatment plant flow of the city of luján and was, therefore, considered a continuous addition point of nutrients. the oth...

Background and Objectives: Sodium nitrite and potassium nitrite have been traditionally used for inhibition of Clostridium botulinum and also as an agent to stabilize the color of meat products; however, usage of these additives at high levels could lead to toxicity and cancer originating from the formation of nitrosamines. Nowadays, application of natural preservatives in order to reduce the n...

a new, simple, rapid, and cheap method for determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion is reported.determination is based on reduction of bromate ion by nitrite ion, in the presence of murexide inacidic media. during reaction of bromate ion with nitrite ion, the reaction mixture is decolorized.the absorbance changes is then monitored spectrophotometricaly at 520 nm, at 25 °c. dynamicrange of ...
