The performance of olive stone activated carbon (OSAC) for sorption of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions was investigated via batch technique. OSAC materials were prepared under different physially activation conditions. Olive stone waste was physically activated with N2 gas and steam gas at 900oC at 3.5h hold time (OSAC-3) was choice as the best one for Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ removal. Characterization for...

a condensation of various isatins with indole derivatives has been carried out in the presence of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (dbdmh) as catalyst at 50 °c in ethanol in order to form 3,3-bis(indolyl) oxindoles. the products were obtained within 20-90 min by 70-96% yields. the efficacy of the procedure has been confirmed by catalyzing the condensation reaction of pyrrole which was used as ...

The goal of this work was to synthesize substituted polystyrene for metal extraction and/or depollution by introduction of substituted piperazines as chelatants starting from Merrifield polymer. After transformation of Merrifield’s resin in azidomethyl polystyrene, click-chemistry using copper (I)-catalyzed Huisgen’s reaction (CuAAC) was performed to prepare different polymers grafted with 1,4-...

Nickel(II) complexes with 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde N4-substituted thiosemicarbazone ligands (H3L – H3L ) have been synthesized and characterized with the aim of evaluating the effect of N4 substitution in the thiosemicarbazone moiety on their coordination behavior and biological activities. Two series of nickel(II) complexes with the general formulae [Ni(H3L)(H2L)]ClO4 and [Ni2(HL)2] were char...

Background: Mushroom Tyrosinase a potent candidate in clinical studies known as polyphenol oxidase, is a metaloenzyme from the oxidase superfamily widely distributed from lower to higher life forms. It plays a crucial role in sclerotization of exoskeleton in insects, also responsible for skin pigmentation in mammalians. Objective: In this study, after reconstitution of MT by some metal io...

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) were extracted by high-speed centrifugation at 20,000 G for 30 min from an activated sludge treating municipal wastewater. Each gram of sludge, as measured in volatile suspended solids (VSS), contained 7.3 mg of EPS, including 6.5 mg of protein (EPSp) and 0.8 mg of carbohydrate (EPSc). The EPSp had a mean MW of 2.0 x 105; about 18% of EPSp had MW over 5...

Taking into account spin-spin (SS), spin-other-orbit (SOO), and orbit-orbit (OO) interactions in addition to general spin-orbit (SO) interactions, the local structures of Ni2+ in CsMgX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) are theoretically investigated by using the complete diagonalization method (CDM). On this basis, it is found that the local angles, at the Ni2+ centres are larger than those, at the hosts. The c...

the aim of this research is to study ni2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell magnetic γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap-ni2+) as a green and recyclable catalyst for the biginelli reaction under solvent-free conditions. one-pot multi-component condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, urea and aldehydes at 80 oc affords the corresponding compounds in high yields and in short reaction times ...

We examined the possible role of the Na-Ca exchange (NCX) in the arrhythmogenesis in rat atrial preparations applying microelectrode technique. In control Tyrode solution preparations isolated from the sinoatrial area contracted with frequency of 48+/-4 min(-1) (group I) or 84+/-7 min(-1) (group II). In preparation beating with low frequency partial inhibition of NCX by administration of Ni2+ (...
