measurements of pb, cu, zn, as, ni, hg, and fe heavy metals and major elements and components such as ca, hco3, so4, na, k, mg and cl in soluble rain fractions were performed on rainwater collected at arak plain during the rainy seasons of 2012. concentrations of the heavy metals in the soluble fractions decreased for fe, pb, zn, ni, cu, as and hg, respectively and the major elements and compon...

: In this study, Ni and Cu nanowire arrays and Ni/Cu superlattice nanowire arrays are fabricated using standard techniques such as electrochemical deposition of metals into porous anodic alumina oxide templates having pore diameters of about 50 nm. We perform optical measurements on these nanowire array structures. Optical reflectance (OR) of the as-prepared samples is recorded using an imaging...

Effects of duration of exposure of single metal cations (Ag+1, Cd+2, Cu+2, Ga+3, Ni+2, and Zn+2) on 3H-thymidine (3H-Tdr) incorporation and 3-[4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2yl-]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide-formazan (MTT-f) production in cultured murine fibroblasts (Balb/c 3T3) were investigated, and the synergistic and antagonistic effects of two metal cations applied simultaneously to the fibrobl...

A simple, fast and effective pre-concentration method for the determination of Cu (copper) and Ni (nickel) was developed using a Surfactant Assisted Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (SA-DLLME) coupled by UV-Vis spectrophotometry in marine brown algae. The complexing agent was 1- (2- pyridylazo) – 2 - naphthol (PAN).The effects of various experimental parameters in the extraction ste...

in this work x-ray fluorescence (xrf) technique was used to evaluate the soil pollution withheavy metals for twenty four surface soil samples (0–10 cm in depth) from various locations to cover theindustrial area in omdurman city, sudan. concentrations of 10 elements cr, ni, cu, zn, zr, pb, rb, co, cd andas were determined. it was found that cr, cu and cd concentrations for almost all studied si...
