Rice glutelin is synthesized as a precursor in the endosperm endoplasmic reticulum and then deposited within the protein storage vacuole protein body-II (PB-II) as an aggregate, with a high degree of polymerized higher-order structure comprising mature acidic and basic subunits after post-translation processing cleavage. In order to investigate the functional role of this processing and its eff...

of past research 1) The individual and competitive adsorption of metal ions on graphene oxides (GOs) studies by experimental and DFT calculation The heavy metal ions can be accumulated in living tissues, so they must be removed from polluted water. Graphene oxides (GOs) are considered as the ideal adsorbent material because the large quantities of oxygen-containing functional groups strengthen ...

The four cupferronate ions in the dinuclear title compound, [Pb(2)(C(6)H(5)N(2)O(2))(4)], O,O'-chelate to the two Pb(II) atoms; two of the four nitroso O atoms are also involved in bridging. The geometry of both five-coordinate Pb(II)atoms is distorted Ψ-octa-hedral; if another two longer inter-molecular Pb⋯O inter-actions [at 2.955 (1) and 3.099 (1) Å] are considered, the geometry is a distort...

In the title Pb(II) complex, [Pb(2)(C(2)Cl(3)O(2))(2)(NO(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)](n), the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand is chelating, the nitrate anion chelates one Pb(II) ion and simultaneously bridges a neighbouring Pb(II) ion via the third O atom, and the trichloro-acetate anion is bidentate, bridging two Pb(II) ions. The coordination geometry is based on a penta-gonal-bipramidal geometry defi...

Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions removal using adsorbents prepared from sub-bituminous coal, lignite, and a blend of coal and Irvingia gabonensis seed shells was investigated. Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope and X-ray fluorescence analyses implicated hydroxyl, carbonyl, Al2O3, and SiO2 as being responsible for attaching the metal ions on the porous adsorbents. The optimum adsorpt...

In this study, 2-aminobenzoic acid (ABA) has been used as complexing ligand for simultaneousdetermination of metal ions by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV), for the firsttime. Thus, a selective and sensitive procedure was presented for simultaneous determination oflead, cadmium and nickel using ABA and differential pulse-adsorptive cathodic strippingvolt...

2-(pyridine-2-yl)-N-p-chlorohydrazinecarbothioamide (HCPTS) was synthesized, characterized and successfully applied for the preconcentration of Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Pb(II), Fe(II), and Hg(II) in water, blood, and urine samples prior to graphite furnace atomic absorption determination (GFAAS); Hg was determined by cold vapor technique. Under the optimum experimental conditions...

In this study, a potentiometric titration was performed to investigate the surface acid–base properties of Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes isolated from activated sludge. Batch sorption as a function of pH was performed to explain the sorption behaviour of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions onto the bacterial surface. The surface complexation approach in the frame of constant capacitance model was applied to...

The present work represents the biosorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution onto the biomass of the blue green alga Anabaena sphaerica as a function of pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, and initial metal ion concentrations. Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of both metals by A. sphaerica biomass. The bioso...
