Sorption properties of algae Spirogyra sp. and their use for determination of heavy metal ions concentrations in surface water.

2010

Abstract Kinetics of heavy-metal ions sorption by alga Spirogyra sp. was evaluated experimentally in the laboratory, using both the static and the dynamic approach. The metal ions – Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ – were sorbed from aqueous solutions of their salts. The static experiments showed that the sorption equilibria were attained in 30 min, with 90-95% of metal ions sorbed in first 10 min of each process. The sorption equilibria were approximated with the Langmuir isotherm model. The algae sorbed each heavy metal ions proportionally to the amount of this metal ions in solution. The experiments confirmed that after 30 min of exposition to contaminated water, the concentration of heavy meta…

Investigation of manganese in salt- and freshwater pearls

2001

Abstract The trace element distribution in natural and cultured pearls is analysed by micro-PIXE, cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy and spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to develop a new method to distinguish cultured from natural pearls. These different kinds of pearls can be identified by their manganese content and its distribution in aragonite and calcite structure, respectively. Manganese content of natural freshwater pearls from Persian Gulf was compared to that of natural freshwater pearls from the Mississippi river (USA). Moreover manganese content of tissue-graft freshwater pearls from Chansu (China) was compared to that of natural freshwater pearls from…

Carbon-isotope record and palaeoenvironmental changes during the early Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in shallow-marine carbonates of the Adriatic Car…

2013

AbstractGeochemical (δ13C, δ18O and Mn) compositions of Lower Jurassic shallow-water carbonates cropping out in Croatia were analyzed to elucidate the impact of the early Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE) on the Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP). The bulk-rock carbon-isotope records through the studied sections (Velebit-A, Velebit-B and Gornje Jelenje) are characterized by two significant excursions: (i) an initial positive trend interrupted by a pronounced negative shift (c. 2.5‰) that is followed by (ii) an increasing trend of positive values (up to 4.5‰). A comparison with δ13C trends obtained from well-calibrated sections from other localities in Europe shows that the overall chara…

Manganese carbonyl terpyridyl complexes: their synthesis, characterization and potential application as CO-release molecules

2014

MnI carbonyl terpyridyl complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The tricarbonyl derivative exhibits interesting behaviors for controlled CO-release by both thermal and photosynthetic pathways.

Chemistry and reactivity of dinuclear manganese oxamate complexes: Aerobic catechol oxidation catalyzed by high-valent bis(oxo)-bridged dimanganese(I…

2006

[EN] The high-valent bis(oxo)-bridged dimanganese(IV) complexes with the series of binucleating 4.5-X-2-o-phenylenebis(oxamate) ligands (opbaX(2); X = H, Cl, Me) (1a-c) have been synthesized and characterized structurally, spectroscopically and magnetically. Complexes la-c possess unique Mn-2(mu-O)(2) core structures with two o-phenylenediamidate type additional bridges which lead to exceptionally short Mn-Mn distances (2.63-2.65 angstrom) and fairly bent Mn-O-Mn angles (94.1 degrees-94.6 degrees). The cyclovoltammograms of la-c in acetonitrile (25 degrees C, 0.1 M Bu4NPF6) show an irreversible one-electron oxidation peak at moderately high anodic potentials (E-ap = 0.50-0.85 V versus SCE),…

The selection of serum-independent PC12 cells for a more-reliable manganese cytotoxicity test.

2007

A major issue concerning the protocols of heavy metal cytotoxicity tests with PC12 cells was the hypothesis that serum in the culture medium might sequester the metal, thus altering the results obtained. However, serum withdrawal impairs the viability of PC12 cells themselves, thus impeding cytotoxicity testing in the absence of serum. In this study, we repeatedly selected undifferentiated, totally non-adherent PC12 cells in Petri dishes. Surprisingly, we discovered that these cells could survive and proliferate in serum-free medium. Moreover, features such as NGF-responsiveness, resazurin reduction potential, doubling rate, protein content, and basal caspase-3 enzyme activity, were equiva…

Effect of Impurities (Carbon and Manganese) on Iron Oxidation at High Temperature: Impurities-Rare Earth Element (Cerium) Interactions

1997

Apres oxydation du fer pur revetu d'un depot de CeO 2 , (T = 7000C, pO 2 = 0,04 Pa), le cerium se trouve localise dans la couche de wustite sous la forme de CeFeO 3 . La dissolution de cette phase assure l'introduction homogene du cerium a l'interieur de la couche de FeO. Sa formation est attribuee a un processus d'oxydo-reduction entre le depot de CeO 2 et les premiers germes de FeO. Dans le cas des echantillons d'acier Fe-Mn-C, recouverts de CeO 2 , le cerium n'est pas incorpore dans la couche d'oxyde de fer de facon homogene et se retrouve sous la forme de CeO 2 a l'interface oxyde-gaz. Le role de chaque impurete est maintenant bien etabli: le manganese inhibe l'incorporation du cerium d…

1997

2:1 complexes of pyridine-2(1H)-thione (LH) with manganese(II) were prepared: (LH)2MnCl2, (LH)2MnBr2 and [L2Mn]n. The polymeric chain structure of [L2Mn]n contains a distorted octahedrally coordinated manganese (MnN2S4) with chelating ligands, the N-atoms are in cis positions and the S-atoms of the pyridine-2-thiolates bridging; crystallographic data for [C10H8MnN2S2]n: space group C2/c (monoclinic), and R1 = 0.0571 for 1326 reflexes with Fo4σ(Fo).
