Chromium oxide supported on mesoporous organo-silica (MOS) was synthesized with different Cr loading by an incipient method. The catalytic performance of a Cr(x)/MOS catalyst for CO2-based ethane dehydrogenation investigated. catalysts were characterized XRD, BET, TEM, SEM, XPS, FTIR, and UV–Vis DR measurements. textural properties the prepared samples showed that nature MOS sample not disturbe...

A PVC membrane Cr(III) ion selective electrode has been constructed using 2H-1,4-benzothioazine-2,3(4H)dione dioxime (BTD) as membrane carrier. The influence of membrane composition on the electroderesponse was studied. The electrode exhibits a Nernstian response over a Cr(III) concentration range of 1.0 x10 6 to 1.0>< 10-1 M (r = 0.99) with a slope of 19.5 ± 0.5 mV per decade of concentration,...

In this study, the feasibility of cruxrhodopsin (CR) production as a multifunctional nanoparticle was investigated and optimized by Halorculasp. IRU1, a novel halophile Archaea isolated from Urmia Lake, Iran in batch experiments. In this case, Taguchi method was used for effect measurement of three important factors (petrochemical wastewater, yeast extract and KH2PO4) on CR production. Results ...

Total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), transferrin (TRF), retinol-binding protein (RPB), N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), alanine aminopeptidase (AAP), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and creatinine (Cr) were measured in random (untimed) urine samples from 29 nonpregnant women and from pregnant subjects (11 in the first trimester, 34 in the second, and 37 in the third). The excretion of TP, Al...

background : hexavalent chromium ( cr (vi)) is an important contaminant in surface and groundwater and its removal from contaminated water and wastewater has received interest in recent years. this study aimed to explain the removal process of cr (vi) from aqueous solution using nano hydroxyapatite (n-hap) as an adsorbent material. methods: cr (vi) removal experiments with the prepared n-hap we...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine the spatial correlation of O-(2-(18)F-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine ((18)F-FET) uptake and the concentrations of choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), and total N-acetylaspartate (tNAA) determined with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ((1)H MRSI) in cerebral gliomas for the multimodal evaluation of metabolic changes. METHODS (18)F-FET PET and...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the binding strength of chromium (Cr) ions to aquatic macrophyte Callitriche cophocarpa. Shoots of the plants were incubated in a natural water solution containing Cr(III) or Cr(VI) at a concentration ranging from 0.5 to 4 mM under laboratory conditions. We found that C. cophocarpa has an extremely high capacity to bind Cr. The average level of ac...

The concentration of NZ-419 (5-hydroxy-1-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione), an intrinsic antioxidant, has been shown to increase in the sera of animals and patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). This is the first report that orally administered exogenous NZ-419 prevents the initiation and/or progression of CRF in rats using an adenine-loaded model. After 24 d of adenine loading, there was a ca...

Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a constituent of chromite ore. Although it is known to have several industrial and technological applications, its release into the aquatic environment as a result of chemical spill or inadequate waste discharge may hamper the health of aquatic organisms. In this study, we have investigated the effects of Cr (VI) on multiple biomarkers responses in goldfish unde...
