sulphide was determined spectrophotometrically at 628 nm and ph 6.7 based on its catalytic reduction of toluidine blue in the presence of se(iv) using a flow injection system. after optimization of the measuring conditions the calibration curve was found linear up to 25 mg/ml and the detection limit was 0.3 mg/ml (30 ml injections). the relative standard deviation for the determination of 10 mg...

Three sediment cores were collected in the Scheldt, Lys and Spiere canals, which drain a highly populated and industrialized area in Western Europe. The speciation and the distribution of trace metals in pore waters and sediment particles were assessed through a combination of computational and experimental techniques. The concentrations of dissolved major and trace elements and Zn) were used t...

Manure pits and silos are potentially dangerous, gas-containing confined spaces on the farm that may generate hazardous levels of hydrogen sulphide and nitrogen dioxide respectively. Although these inhalation injuries are uncommon, emergency physicians who work within transport distance of rural areas should be aware of the toxic agents involved and their acute management. This article reviews ...

Acton el al. (1932) used a vegetable medium from a green variety of mung dal (Phaseolus mungo) for cultivation of the intestinal bacteria. Brewer (1943) suggested a mixture of soyabean and cotton seed or peanut meal for the preparation of a general purpose media using sodium sulphide as an activator; the sodium sulphide would readily generate sulphuretted hydrogen which by lowering the pH of th...

In this work we report the synthesis and characterization of hybrid nanostructures of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanoparticles. In a solution of thioacetamide and cadmium sulphide, purified MWCNT are added to prepare the CNT/CdS hetrostructure. XRD diagrams, SEM images, and also photoluminescence spectra of the prepared samples are analyzed. SEM images show th...

Coarse particle flotation (CPF) is one of the strategies employed to reduce energy consumption in mineral-processing circuits. HydrofloatTM (HF) technology has been successfully applied coarse industrial minerals and sulphide middlings. However, this not yet platinum group (PGMs)’ flotation. In paper, amenability CPF was investigated. Extensive testwork conducted optimise hydrodynamic parameter...

Abstract In this study, an attempt was made to understand the hydrogeochemical processes controlling water resources (surface and groundwater) evolution in El Fayoum depression, Egypt. Hydrochemical, inverse geochemical modeling integrated with environmental isotopes applied. Forty-three surface groundwater samples were collected analyzed for major chemistry (cations, anions) stable (δ 18 O, δD...

In surface sediments, metal mobility is controlled by the recruitment and turn-over of organic matter whereas sulphide is thought to control the concentration of metals in sediment pore water by removing them from the solution. DGT is a dynamic probe that measures the kinetically available fraction of metals or sulphide. DGT uses a credit card size probe inserted into the sediment that provides...
