abstractin this work, the micro powder was the product of cedar leaf (mpcl) is used as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. bath experiments were used to determine the best adsorption conditions the adsorption percentage of pb2+ ions mpcl samples at different initial ph, contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage and temperature (t) were investigated. effective rem...

Jute modified has been used for adsorption of Cr (VI), Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions over a range ofinitial metal ion concentration. Adsorption process is done in batch mode. Adsorption isotherms ofthe heavy metals on adsorbents prepared were determined and correlated with common isothermequations. It was found that the Freundlich isotherm is better than Langmuir for explaining thebehavior of adsorp...

malicorium supported ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by a low-cost, simple,and environmentally benign procedure. the adsorbent was characterized by several methods includingx-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir). then, the potential of malicorium supported ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magneticnanoparticles was in...

The interaction of Zn(II) ions with cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis basic protein C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is studied by fluorescence spectroscopy.Stern–Volmer quenching constant value for Zn(II)–C-PC is determined. The binding energy of Zn(II) ions with C-phycocyanin is determined using equilibrium dialysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Cooperative binding of Zn(II) ions with C-phycocyanin...

Heavy metal ions are highly toxic and widely spread as environmental pollutants. New strategies are being developed to efficiently remove these toxic ions. Herein, we use the intrinsic advantages of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and develop a porous Zn(II)-based MOF decorated with O groups for the removal of Pb. Benefiting from its multiple porosity, sufficient adsorption sites and strong aff...

Most galvanic process industries treat their effluents by chemical precipitation methods. Such a method produces an amount of sludge that is often disposed inappropriately to the environment, causing major environmental damage. These rejects present high concentrations toxic metallic ions, such as copper (Cu(II)), lead (Pb(II)), nickel (Ni(II)), and cadmium (Cd(II)). Several alternatives have b...

In this research, traditional macroscopic studies were complemented with XAS analyses to elucidate the mechanisms controlling Pb(II) sorption onto ferrihydrite as a function of pH, ionic strength, and adsorbate concentrations. Analyses of XANES and XAFS studies demonstrate that Pb(II) ions predominantly sorb onto ferrihydrite via inner-sphere complexation, not retaining their primary hydration ...

The identity of the predominating lead(ii) species in hyper-alkaline aqueous solution has been determined by Raman spectroscopy, and ab initio quantum chemical calculations and its structure has been determined by EXAFS. The observed and calculated Raman spectra for the [Pb(OH)3](-) complex are in agreement while they are different for two-coordinated complexes and complexes containing Pb[doubl...

The aim of the present work was to study a simple colorimetric and potentiometric biosensor based on urease inhibition by Pb (II) ions for its estimation in milk samples. Urease immobilized on nylon membrane by hydrosol gel method was used as the biocomponent to demonstrate the metal effect on the enzyme activity using phenol red as the pH indicator. A lower limit detection of 38.6μm was achiev...

Two novel polymeric membrane sensors for the analysis of Pb(II) have been developed based on two therapeutic drugs, thiopental (TP) and phenytoin (PT) as two new ionophores and potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as a lipophilic additive, in plasticized PVC membranes. The sensors show a Nernstian response for Pb(II) ions over the wide concentration ranges of 1×10(-2) - 7×10(-6) ...
