Removal of lead (II) from aqueous solutions was studied by using pretreated fish bones as natural, cost-effective, waste sorbents. The effect of pH, contact time, temperature, and metal concentration on the adsorption capacities of the adsorbent was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb (II) was found to be 323 mg/g at optimum conditions. The experiments showed that when pH increased, an increase in the adsorbed amount of metal of the fish bones was observed. The kinetic results of adsorption obeyed a pseudo second-order model. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were applied to experimental equilibrium data of Pb (II) adsorption and the value ofRLfor Pb (II) was found to be 0.906. The thermodynamic parameters related to the adsorption process such asEa,ΔG°,ΔH°, andΔS° were calculated andEa,ΔH°, andΔS° were found to be 7.06, 46.01 kJ mol−1, and 0.141 kJ mol−1K−1for Pb (III), respectively.ΔH° values (46.01 kJmol−1) showed that the adsorption mechanism was endothermic. Weber-Morris and Urano-Tachikawa diffusion models were also applied to the experimental equilibrium data. The fish bones were effectively used as sorbent for the removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract For clinical purposes the activities of Na+ and K+ obtained with ion-selective electrodes in undiluted whole blood or serum should be multiplied by an appropriate factor to obtain the same values as the substance concentrations obtained by flame photometry. The factor is primarily dependent on the mass concentration of water in normal plasma divided by the molal activity coefficient of Na+ (or K+) of normal plasma. We discuss the value of the molal activity coefficient of Na+ obtained by theoretical calculations and by direct measurement. The discrepancies between theory and measurement (gamma Na+ of 0.747 and 0.73, respectively) may be due to some binding of Na+ (protein binding or ion pair formation), a small and variable residual liquid-junction potential, or certainty about the appropriate value for the ionic strength of normal plasma (0.16 mol/kg or somewhat higher).

In the present work, a new Zn(II) perchlorate complex with 2,2’–bipyridyl of formulation {[Zn(bipy)2(H2O)](ClO4)2} (1) was obtained and well analyzed. This chemosensor was evaluated as a selective sensor for acetone among the several different organic solvents(CH3OH, EtOH, i–PrOH, i–BuOH, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, CCl4, C6H6, C7H8, C8H10, C2H3N, C3H7NO, C4H8O2, C3H6O3) in a fluorescence turn–off response in accordance with theoretical calculations. Sensing experiments were performed at ambient temperature which shows the acetone molecule distinctly reduces transfer of energy barrier to complex 1 and hence, produces remarkable luminescent quenching. Also, the weak intermolecular hydrogen–bonding interactions thanks to the presence of various hydrogen bonding donors and acceptors, exist between ligand molecules, which were broken during fluorescence, resulting in quenching. The stoichiometry ratio and association constant were evaluated using Benesi–Hildebrand relation giving 1:1 stoichiometry between complex 1 and acetone. Additionally, DFT results can also explicate the significant response on complex 1 upon addition of acetone. This work is vital in a new loom for the detection of acetone and other ketones.

Several versions of Cu(II) ion selective electrodes (ISE), based on cyclized N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine (salophen) complexes with Cu(II), were fabricated for determination of Cu(II) in aqueous solutions. The response of the ISE was optimized by variation of membrane composition and evaluation of various experimental conditions. Near Nernstian slopes (~ 28-32 mV/decade) were obtained for some preparations. The linear range of the ISE ranged from 5 × 10-5 to 1 × 10-2M Cu(II). Coated-wire and coated disc ISE resulted practically in a similar response as screen printed electrodes (SPE). The potentiometric selectivity coefficients (Kij) for all electrodes were determined for Na+, NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Fe3+, Hg2+, CO32-, H2PO4-, HPO42-, SO42-, CH3COO-, Br-, I-, NO3-, and SCN-. The selectivity coefficients were in the range from 10-2 to 10-3 for all ions tested except Hg2+, I-, and to less extent Fe3+. Fabricated ISE using the Cu(II)-salophen complex are reliable and stable.

Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions under different conditions was investigated using either clay (montmorillonite) or micelle-clay complex, the last obtained by adsorbing critical micelle concentration of octadecyltrimethylammonium ions onto montmorillonite. Batch experiments showed the effects of contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH on the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. Langmuir adsorption isotherm fitted the experimental data giving significant results. Filtration experiments using columns filled with micelle-clay complex mixed with sand were performed to assess Cr(VI) removal efficiency under continuous flow at different pH values. The micelle-clay complex used in this study was capable of removing Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions without any prior acidification of the sample. Results demonstrated that the removal effectiveness reached nearly 100% when using optimal conditions for both batch and continuous flow techniques.
