pb and cd in water samples were determined by cloud point extraction (cpe) with sodiumdiethyldithiocarbamate (ddtc) as the chelating agent and octylphenoxypolyethanl (triton x-114) asthe surfactant prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas) determination. the main factorsof affecting the extraction and detection processes were optimized. the preconcentration of 10 ml ofstandard soluti...

this paper investigates host condition factor, parasite interaction and metal accumulation in tilapia guineesis and host-parasite system in iddo area of lagos lagoon, nigeria. eighty specimens of t. guineensis from the lagoon were caught and dissected for intestinal helminth parasites. condition factors of all individuals were determined. median condition (k<2.62 and k>2.62) were used in groupi...

The location of the hole and acid proton in neutral nonprotonated and protonated mixed (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) yttrium double-decker complexes, respectively, is studied on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the molecular structures, molecular orbitals, atomic charges, and electronic absorption and infrared spectra of the neutral, reduced, and two possible prot...

distribution and mobility of nine mineral elements (k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, cu, se, and cr) in cultured gentiana rigescens and its root zone soil were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. g. rigescens materials were planted under tea and white papaya trees in yun county and yongde of lincang area in yunnan province of china. the results showed that g. rigescens and its soil were high in...

background: the objective of this work was developing a simple and stable time-based on-line setup for assessing the potential of mercury (hg) vapor adsorption of the commercial sorbents used in air sampling and control operation followed by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (cvaas). methods: a special designed separation chamber was used where reduction of the injected hg (ii) solution...

background soil pollution due to toxic metals released by industrial activities such as cement production is a serious problem from the standpoints of the environment and public health, because they tend to persist, circulating indefinitely and, eventually, accumulating throughout the food chain. objectives this paper presents the results of the first research study into the distribution of cad...

in the current paper,nanostructured nickel oxide (nio) were synthesized by co-precipitation method using nickel(ii) chloride hexahydrate (nicl2.6h2o) and sodium hydroxide (naoh) as starting material. structural, optical and magnetic properties of nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), atomic force microscope (afm), uv–vis absorption; fo...
