heavy metal concentrations in surface water, wastewater and sediments collected from mighan lake in markazi province, iran were analyzed, and assessment contamination were evaluated according to the water and sediment quality guidelines. the results showed that the average concentrations of heavy metals in water were ranked as: ni> cr> pb> fe> cu> zn. in comparison with results the background v...

A series of new pentadentate thioether-oximes (TtoxH2, MeTtoxH2, OdtoxH2) were synthesized along with their Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. BF2 -bridging is accomplished by reaction of the H-bonded oxime complex with BF3·OEt2, though when Cu(BF4)2 is used as the Cu(II) salt, direct macrocyclization occurs during the metal complexation reaction. Crystallographic studies reveal: [Cu(TtoxH)]ClO4 has ...

salicylic acid-formaldehyde-m-cresol (sfm) terpolymer had been synthesized in dmf media by conventional method. the resulting resin had been characterized by ftir spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. the morphology of sfm resin had been studied by sem and optical photograph. various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of ph on ion exchange capacity and effect of concentr...

The enrichment or spiking of sewage sludge with heavy metals for experimental purposes is a fairly widely used, although sometimes controversial, technique. A study was undertaken, using a sequential fractionation scheme, to assess the degree of incorporation of Cu, Ni, and Zn into sewage sludge samples spiked with these metals and incubated for 6 mo. For all three metals, substantial proportio...

The different optical responses in chromogenic sensor stimulated by addition of Cu(2+) (red to blue) and Ni(2+) (red to green) allow simultaneous estimation of Cu(2+) and Ni(2+).

The major objective of the present study was to identify the relationship of physiologial parameters of the photosynthetic system with the elemental content of the lichen Ramalina lacera (With.) J.R. Laund. Thalli of R. lacera were collected in an unpolluted site and transplanted in a national park and an industrial region in Israel for 8 mo. Analyses of photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll int...

Reliable production of copper-64 (Cu) was achieved by irradiating enriched nickel64 (Ni, >94.8%) in an IBA 18/9 cyclotron. Nickel-64 (19.1 ± 3.0 mg) was electroplated onto an Au disc (125 m x 15mm). Targets were irradiated with 11.7 MeV protons for 2 hours at 40 A. Copper isotopes (Cu) were separated from target nickel and cobalt isotopes (Co) using a single ion exchange column, eluted with var...

We have measured the adiabatic elastic constants of two Cu-Al-Ni martensitic alloys using ultrasonic methods and we have compared the results to recent neutron-scattering experiments. It is shown that the elastic behavior of Cu-Al-Ni alloys follows the same trends exhibited by other Cu-based alloys; in particular, the TA2 long-wavelength acoustic modes are softer than all other modes. Disciplin...

The symmetry-induced magnetic anisotropy due to monoatomic steps at strained Ni films is determined using results of first principles relativistic full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) calculations and an analogy with the Néel model. We show that there is a magnetoelastic anisotropy contribution to the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy energy in the vicinal plane of a stepped surfac...
