Heavy metals i.e. Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni), Mercury (Hg) and Arsenic (As) were analyzed in 35 samples of the fish muscle, from East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW). The concentration of heavy metals was in order of, Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Ni > As > Hg > Cd. The essential metals, such as iron, zinc, copper and manganese were in higher concentrations and, t...

A comprehensive study has been carried out with respect to chromium, manganese, zinc, copper and nickel contamination of groundwater in Dhemaji district of Assam, India. Twenty groundwater samples were collected from tube well and ring well in both dry and wet seasons. The metals were analysed by using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, Perkin Elmer AA 200 model. Normal distribution and correlatio...

Manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II), and copper(II) derivatives of two inherently chiral, Tris(bipyridyl) cages (L and L') of type [ML]-(PF(6))(2)(solvent)(n) and [FeL'](ClO(4))(2) are reported, where L is the hexa-tertiary butyl-substituted derivative of L'. These products were obtained by using the free cage and metal template procedures; the latter involved the reductive amination of the res...

inc alloy electrodeposits are finding increased acceptance as improved replacements for conventional electrogalvanized finishes. Zinc-nickel appears to be experiencing the most widespread use, although zinc-cobalt and zinc-iron also have well-defined market shares. The zinc-manganese system has not been widely reported; however, some investigators have examined its corrosion resistance, polariz...

The Moravian-Silesian Region is one of the most polluted sites by dust particles in the Czech Republic. Therefore, atmospheric concentrations of heavy metals as cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, antimony, thallium, manganese, iron and zinc, were monitored at 10 localities in the region during summer of 2014. Heavy metals were monitored in 10 particle size classes from 18.3 nm to ...

INTRODUCTION Quality drinking water should be free from harmful levels of impurities such as heavy metals and other inorganic elements. METHODS Samples of tap water collected from 24 locations in Peninsular Malaysia were determined for inorganic element content. Minerals and heavy metals were analysed by spectroscopy methods, while non-metal elements were analysed using test kits. RESULTS M...

Amorphous hydrous manganese oxide (HMO) is an important mineral in soils and sediments influencing the mobility and bioavailability of metal contaminants. In this study, nickel and lead sorption to discrete HMO and HMO-coated montmorillonite was investigated mechanistically. The effect of pH and concentration revealed that when normalized to the mass of oxide present, the HMO-coated montmorillo...

contamination of water by heavy metals is a global problem. nowadays everybody knows that heavy metal ions consist of iron, lead, manganese, zinc, copper, cadmium, and nickel and so on they are common contaminants in wastewater and known to be toxic and carcinogenic that lead to many problems for human and water environment. in this research, experiments have been performed in the batch system ...

The optical properties of coatings pigmented with different black colorants were systematically investigated and their surface temperatures and cooling energy savings were estimated. The black coatings pigmented with chromite iron nickel black and manganese ferrite black spinel colorants are not cool enough to be energy efficient cool black coatings. The cool black coatings pigmented with NIR-t...

Recently, transition metal oxides, such as ruthenium oxide (RuO₂), manganese dioxide (MnO₂), nickel oxides (NiO) and cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄), have been widely investigated as electrode materials for pseudo-capacitors. In particular, these metal oxides with mesoporous structures have become very hot nanomaterials in the field of supercapacitors owing to their large specific surface areas and suitab...
