the complexation reactions between cu2+, pd2+ and ni2+ metal ions with promethazine (pm) in water or dmf were studied by the spectrophotometric methods at [(15, 25,35 and 45±0.1) °c]. the complexation process was optimized in terms of ph, temperature and contact time. the stoichiometry of the complex was found to be 1:1 (metal ion/ligand). the formation constants of the resulting complexes were...

background: heavy metals, even at low concentrations, are harmful to human health and environment. cadmium as a heavy metal is highly toxic and can cause serious threat to living organisms. this research was designed to evaluate the adsorption potential of modified magnetic iron nanoparticles by 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol ligand for the removal of cadmium ions from water solu...

background: the present study investigated the effect of the middle east dust storm episodes on the concentration and composition of pm 10 during april to september 2013 in sanandaj city, western iran. methods: sampling was once every six days, and on dusty days using an omni air sampler. the pm 10 sample was collected on polytetrafluoroethylene filters. average of 24 h values of pm 10 mass con...

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 ions, th...

dry land salinity is one of the major problems affecting agricultural products. the main consequences of plant exposure to salt stress are water deficit and ion excess, which lead to several morphological and physiological changes. in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on some physiological characteristics of 8 spring rapeseed cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the greenhouse at ya...

flood water contains high amount of sediment affecting the fertility of the coarse grain alluvial fans and flood plains through increasing nutrients. in this study, the effects of the flood water spreading on the soil nutrients recovery were investigated during 10 years (2004-2014) at the poldasht flood spreading station of west azarbaijan in iran. flooded three upper strips were selected at th...

using uv-vis spectrophotometic method, the formation constants for interaction of cd2+(aq) andco2+(aq) ions with l-alanine were experimentally studied at ph = 4.1 ± 0.01 (50mm of potassiumhydrogen phthalate buffer), ionic strength of 0.1m potassium nitrate and at 5 differenttemperatures 15,20, 25,30 and 35°c. the optical absorption spectra of mixtures containingconsidered cations and l-alanine ...

a batch adsorption study was applied to investigate the adsorption of pb2+ ions from aqueous solutionby nanographene (ng).the adsorption percentage of pb2+ions onto ng samples at different initial ph,contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (mng) and temperature (t) were investigated. the results showedthat ng is an excellent adsorbent for pb2+ions removal from aqueous solutions with an adsorptionpe...

malicorium supported ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by a low-cost, simple,and environmentally benign procedure. the adsorbent was characterized by several methods includingx-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir). then, the potential of malicorium supported ni0.5zn0.5fe2o4 magneticnanoparticles was in...
