Several potentially tridentate pyridyl and phenolic Schiff bases (apRen and HhapRen, respectively) were derived from the condensation reactions of 2-acetylpyridine (ap) and 2′-hydroxyacetophenone (Hhap), respectively, with N-R-ethylenediamine (RNHCH2CH2NH2, Ren; R = H, Me or Et) and com-plexed in situ with iron(II) or iron(III), as dictated by the nature of the ligand donor set, to generate the...

Deferoxamine (DFO), a hydroxamic siderophore with high affinity for Fe(III), is immobilized as functionalized self-assembled monolayer of thiol (SAM) on the gold surface screen-printed cell to develop voltammetric sensor iron(III). The working electrode was characterized, before and after functionalization, by determining properties such area double-layer capacitance. Fe(III) detection performe...

In Florida, soils are mainly composed of Myakka, an acid soil characterized by a subsurface accumulation of humus and Al(III) and Fe(III) oxides. Downgradient of the landfills in Northwest Florida, elevated levels of iron and arsenic observations had been made in the groundwater from monitoring wells, which was attributed to the geomicrobial iron and arsenic reduction. There is thus an immediat...

Two simple, accurate, precise, sensitive, and pH-selective visible spectrophotometric methods have been developed and validated for the direct estimation of iron(III) in pure form, leaves, and pharmaceuticals using salicylic acid (SCA) as a chromogenic agent. The methods are based on complexation reaction between iron(III) and SCA at pH 2.26 (±0.02) (Method A) and 6.1 (±0.02) (Method B) to yiel...

A new acidophilic iron-oxidizing strain (C25) belonging to the novel genus Acidithrix was isolated from pelagic iron-rich aggregates ('iron snow') collected below the redoxcline of an acidic lignite mine lake. Strain C25 catalysed the oxidation of ferrous iron [Fe(II)] under oxic conditions at 25 °C at a rate of 3.8 mM Fe(II) day(-1) in synthetic medium and 3.0 mM Fe(II) day(-1) in sterilized l...

Methanosaeta harundinacea and Methanosarcina barkeri, known as classic acetoclastic methanogens, are capable of directly accepting electrons from Geobacter metallireducens for the reduction of carbon dioxide to methane, having been revealed as direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in the laboratory co-cultures. However, whether their co-occurrences are ubiquitous in the iron (III)-reduci...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA), cyclohexane-1,2-diaminetetraacetic (CDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic (DTPA) acids were investigated and compared as complexing agents for the speciation of chromium(VI/III), vanadium(V/IV) and iron(III/II) ions by capillary electrophoresis. The chromium(III) was selectively chelated with DTPA in order to impart a negative charge and similar mobility to ...

Mining-impacted sediments of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, contain more than 10% metals on a dry weight basis, approximately 80% of which is iron. Since iron (hydr)oxides adsorb toxic, ore-associated elements, such as arsenic, iron (hydr)oxide reduction may in part control the mobility and bioavailability of these elements. Geochemical and microbiological data were collected to examine the ecologi...
