Hexavalent chromium (VI) compounds are widely used in industry, while trivalent chromium (III) is used as a nutritional supplement. CrVI is generally considered more toxic and carcinogenic than its trivalent form and the toxicity of this metal is associated with free radical processes generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The detailed mechanism of ROS formation by chromium and its compounds...

this experiment was done to evaluate the effect of nano iron oxide on some morphophysiological traits  of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) at  shahr-e qods region  in years of 2013 and 2014. experimental design, was factorial in a randomized complete block with four replications. treatments included, treatment of date of nano iron sparaying in milky  and pasty stage and another treatment was, conce...

In this study adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by Fe3O4 nanoparticles was investigated. Desorption process and recovery of nanoparticles using different solutions were then carried out, and it was observed that NaOH (0.5M) can remove 90% of adsorbed chromium ions. Following the completion of adsorption/ desorption cycles, it was determined that nanoparticles have still had a high abil...

BACKGROUND Nanotechnology has enabled researchers to synthesize nanosize particles that possess increased surface areas. Compared to conventional microparticles, it has resulted in increased interactions with biological targets. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the protective ability of selenium nanoparticles against hexavalent chromium-induced thyrotoxicity. DESIGN Tw...

Reactions of salicylaldehyde 4-methylthiosemicarbazone (H2L) and salicylaldehyde 4phenylthiosemicarbazone (H2L) with assorted chromium(III) precusors, [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3, [Cr(H2O)6](NO3)33H2O and [Cr(H2O)6](CH3COO)3, afforded new mononuclear chromium(III) complexes of the general formula [Cr(HL)2]X (X = Cl, NO3 and CH3COO). In all isolated compounds, Cr(III) ion is coordinated by the O,N,S atoms of...

Based on the optimal proportion of resin and curing agent, an ultrahigh-temperature inorganic phosphate adhesive was prepared with aluminum dihydric phosphate, aluminium oxide ( α -Al₂O₃), etc. and cured at room temperature (RT). Then, nano-aluminum nitride (nano-AlN), nano-Cupric oxide (nano-CuO), and nano-titanium oxide (nano-TiO₂) were added into the adhesive. Differential scanning calorimet...

This research was carried out to assessment agro physiological traits of bread wheat affected salinity stress, Nano zinc oxide and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi under greenhouse condition via factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Experimental factors included salinity stress in three levels [no-salt (S0) or control, salinity 40 (S1), and 80 ...

A critical appraisal of single-step extraction procedures of chromium species from soil was done in terms of their selectivity towards Cr(III) and Cr(VI) species. Samples of natural mineral and organic soil and samples of soil enriched with different chromium compounds of various solubility (in liquid or solid form) were used to simulate contamination of soil by liquid and solid wastes. The eff...

here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (tea) and zinc acetate. the zno nano particles (nps) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °c for 1 h. the synthesis of nano zno particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern...
