The combination of an equivalent amount of Pb(NO3)2 and 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride in the presence of a base yielded a twodimensional network consisting of [PbCl(SCH2CH2NH3)](NO3) (1) units. The network is further extended to a three-dimensional framework with intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving NO3 and Cl . The geometry around Pb in 1 can be best described as distorted pentagonal b...

This paper deals with adsorption of Pb and Hg on the exopolysaccharide produced by Azotobacter chroococcum XU1. The adsorption of metal ions was significantly affected by the pH of metal solutions (Pb(NO3)2 and Hg(NO3)2), metal ions concentration and exopolysaccharide concentrations. At optimum pH the uptakes of the metals were 40.48% and 47.87% respectively. The metal ions biosorption was high...

This study was carried out to determine the concentration of lead (Pb), anions, and cations at six primary schools located around Kuala Lumpur. Low volume sampler (MiniVol PM10) was used to collect the suspended particulates in indoor and outdoor air. Results showed that the concentration of Pb in indoor air was in the range of 5.18 ± 1.08 μg/g-7.01 ± 0.08 μg/g. All the concentrations of Pb in ...

Evaluation of water quality of nine boreholes and three open hand-dug wells in a rural community in North Central Nigeria revealed relative abundance of cations Na > k > Ca > Mg > Zn > Pb and anions Cl(-) > PO4(2-) > SO4(2-) > NO3(-) in the boreholes and cations Ca > Na > K > Mg > Pb and anions NO3(-)  > PO4(2-)  > SO4(2-) > Cl(-) in the wells. The major contaminants exceeding SON and WHO permi...

We investigated temperature distribution in a solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample rotor under magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments by analyzing the (207)Pb chemical shift of solid lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2). The analysis corrected a mismatch of the temperature dependence of (1)H spin-lattice relaxation time (T1(H)) obtained from different sample positions in the rotor. We prepare...

background: reprocessing of sewage sludge to agricultural land is preferred to disposal through landfill or incineration due to its potentially beneficial effects on soil fertility from organic matter and plant nutrients, such as n and p, present in the sludge. therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of sewage sludge and chemical fertilizers on pb and cd accumulation in fe...

Background: The present study was carried out to assess the seasonal variations, source apportionment, and risk assessment of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) in the surface sediments from the Khanpur Lake, Pakistan. Methods: Composite samples are collected and processed to measure the concentrations of heavy metals in Ca(NO3)2 extract and acid extract of the sediments using flame ...
