In the course of work in the analysis of blood, the authors have employed a number of reagents for the removal of the proteins before proceeding to the determination of other constituents. Two of these, picric acid (1) and nitric acid (2)) appeared to offer peculiar advantages in the subsequent determination of chlorides and other inorganic constituents. However, it was found that the amount of...

Acute 96-h toxicity tests were performed with juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to AgNO3 in either the absence or the presence of 100 nM reactive sulfide to evaluate the protective effect of aqueous sulfides against ionic Ag toxicity. The sulfide was presented in the form of zinc sulfide (ZnS) clusters under oxic conditions. Silver was lost from the water column during the co...

Silver was biologically incorporated into a diet by exposing rainbow trout for 7 days to 100 mg/l of waterborne silver as silver thiosulphate. These fish were processed into a fine powder (trout meal) and pelleted to form a nutritionally balanced feed which was then fed to juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish were fed either a diet containing 3.1 microg/g biologically incorporated...

Oxidation of sulfide-containing ores is the main cause of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), which is an environmental problem associated with both the abandoned and active mines. Iron-bearing sulfide minerals can be oxidized and form mine waters with high sulfate content, low pH, high electrical conductivity, high redox potential, and high concentrations of iron, aluminum, and other heavy metals. In th...

in this work, zeolite nay was prepared by hydrothermal method. then, silver ions were replaced in the zeolite nay with silver nitrate (agno3) solution via using ion exchange (ie) method. the manganese dioxide (mno2) nanoparticles (9.3 and 15.8 wt %) for guest were deposited in the zeolite agy(host) structure with mn(no3)2 aqueous and kmno4 solutions by confined space synthesis (css) method. syn...
