Zeolite is an inorganic material whose surface has a permanent negative charge in its crystal structure. This material consists of tetrahedral [SiO4]-4 and [AlO4]-5, which are connected by oxygen atoms in such a way as to form an open three-dimensional framework containing canals and cavities, as well as alkali or alkali metals for balancing the negative charge. This structure makes zeolites have the ability to adsorb. The ability of natural zeolite adsorption can improve by modifying the surface by adding polyaniline cationic compounds (PANI), which have an amine group (: NH2). Moreover, environmental pollution by metals is the biggest problem in daily life, one of which is the metal ion Cr(III), which is a waste from industrial processes. Therefore, it is necessary to have an effort to reduce waste. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of polyaniline on the adsorption ability of natural zeolites to metal ions Cr(III). The research was carried out in several stages, namely activation of natural zeolite using HF 1%, modification with polymer from aniline monomers, and ammonium peroxidisulphate (APS), and testing the ability of adsorption on Cr(III) metal ions. The study on the ability to adsorb Cr(III) metal ions by PANI-modified zeolites was carried out on variations in the concentration of Cr(III) metal ions and the system pH. The results showed that natural zeolite successfully modified with PANI. The FTIR absorption band at wavenumber 1303 -1319 cm-1 and 1597 cm-1 indicated the presence of NH functional groups. Meanwhile, adsorption capability test data showed that the best adsorbent for adsorption of Cr(III) metal ions was zeolite-PANI 0.01M. The best pH was 4, the initial concentration of Cr(III) metal ions was 1000 ppm, and the percentage of absorption is 48.13%.

Transition-metal-bound imidazoles are suitable models for evaluating the roles of metal ions in biomolecules having the imidazole moiety and similar heterocyclic residues as part of their structure. Such studies provide useful insights into metal–biomolecule interactions in biological systems, especially when the lability of the metal–ligand bond is substantially reduced, such that the identity of the metal–ligand complex is preserved during the course of the reaction under investigation. The present paper reports on a kinetic study of tritium exchange from the C(2) position of the imidazole moiety in the substitution-inert complex cations [Co(NH3)5[2-3H]-imidazole]3+ (1) and [Co(NH3)5-1-methyl-[2-3H]-imidazole]3+ (2). Rate–pH profiles have been determined in aqueous solution at 60 °C. Both substrates are believed to react through rate-determining attack of hydroxide ion (kM+ pathway) at C(2)-T. Dissection of the kinetic data reveals an additional pathway for 1 consequent upon deprotonation of its pyrrole-like N-H(T) to yield 3, which is then attacked by hydroxide at C(2) (kM pathway). The ratio kM+/kM = 103 that is obtained is in accord with the expected reduced reactivity of 3. Comparison of the present data with those reported for a variety of heterocyclic substrates shows that the order of reactivity, protonated [Formula: see text] metal ion coordinated [Formula: see text] neutral form of substrates, prevails. The superiority of the proton over metal ions in catalyzing isotopic hydrogen exchange is attributed to its larger ground state acidifying effect coupled with the greater transition state stabilization it affords, relative to metal ions. The exchange reaction of 3 via the kM pathway is the first example of a reactive anionic species in which the negative charge is located α to the exchanging C-H. Keywords: tritium exchange, cobalt (III)-coordinated imidazoles.

The rates of displacement of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenoxide ion from the pesticide, fenitrothion, by alkali metal ethoxides in anhydrous ethanol were followed spectrophotometrically. Through product analysis experiments, which included 31P NMR and GC-MS, as well as spectrophotometric analysis, three reaction pathways were identified: nucleophilic attack at the phosphorus centre, attack at the aliphatic carbon, and a minor SNAr route ([Formula: see text]7%). Furthermore, a consecutive process was found to occur on the product of attack at the phosphorus centre. For purposes of kinetic treatment, the processes at the aliphatic and aromatic carbon were combined (i.e., the minor SNAr pathway was neglected), and the observed reaction rate constants were dissected into rate coefficients for nucleophilic attack at phosphorus and at aliphatic carbon. Attack at phosphorus was found to be catalyzed by the alkali metal ethoxides in the order KOEt > NaOEt > LiOEt. Catalysis arises from alkali metal ethoxide aggregates in the base solutions used (0–1.8 M); treatment of the system as a mixture of free ethoxide, ion-paired metal ethoxide, and metal ethoxide dimers resulted in a good fit with the kinetic data. An unexpected dichotomy in the kinetic behaviour of complexing agents (e.g., DC-18-crown-6, [2.2.2]cryptand) indicated that the dimers are more reactive than free ethoxide anions, which are in turn more reactive than ion-paired metal ethoxide. The observed relative order of reactivity is explained in the context of the Eisenman theory in which the free energy of association of the metal ion with the rate-determining transition state is largely determined by the solvent reorganization parameter. In contrast with displacement at the phosphorus centre, attack at the aliphatic carbon was not found to be catalyzed by alkali metals. In this case, the free ethoxide anion was more reactive than either the ion-paired metal ethoxide or the dimeric aggregate. The differing effects of alkali metals on the two pathways is ascribed largely to the leaving group pKa. For carbon attack, the pKa value estimated for demethyl fenitrothion, 2.15, is sufficiently low that metal ions are not required to stabilize the rate-determining transition state. In contrast, for phosphorus attack, 3-methyl-4-nitrophenoxide, with a pKa of 7.15, requires stabilization by metal ion interactions. Hence, alkali metal ions catalyze attack at phosphorus, but not attack at the carbon centres.Key words: organophosphorothioate, pesticide, fenitrothion, ethanolysis, alkali metal ethoxide, ion-pair reactivity, dimers, catalysis, competitive pathways.

Essential biochemical reactions and processes within living organisms are coupled to subcellular fluctuations of metal ions. Disturbances in cellular metal ion homeostasis are frequently associated with pathological alterations, including neurotoxicity causing neurodegeneration, as well as metabolic disorders or cancer. Considering these important aspects of the cellular metal ion homeostasis in health and disease, measurements of subcellular ion signals are of broad scientific interest. The investigation of the cellular ion homeostasis using classical biochemical methods is quite difficult, often even not feasible or requires large cell numbers. Here, we report of genetically encoded fluorescent probes that enable the visualization of metal ion dynamics within individual living cells and their organelles with high temporal and spatial resolution. Generally, these probes consist of specific ion binding domains fused to fluorescent protein(s), altering their fluorescent properties upon ion binding. This review focuses on the functionality and potential of these genetically encoded fluorescent tools which enable monitoring (sub)cellular concentrations of alkali metals such as K+, alkaline earth metals including Mg2+ and Ca2+, and transition metals including Cu+/Cu2+ and Zn2+. Moreover, we discuss possible approaches for the development and application of novel metal ion biosensors for Fe2+/Fe3+, Mn2+ and Na+.

Removal of heavy metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, and Ni2+) from artificial wastewater has been successfully perfomed by adsorption process using magnetic ferrite (MFe2O4; M=Co2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, and Ni2+) nanoparticles. Ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using coprecipitation method and used as absorbent in heavy metal ions removal with concentration of 5 g/L and 10 g/L. The adsorption and desorption ability of each ferrite nanoparticles, the effect of heavy metal ion in adsorption and desorption process, and the endurance of ferrite nanoparticles were investigated using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The removal process has been conducted for wastewater at pH 7.It showed the presence of heavy metal precipitate in solution. The result shows that MgFe2O4 has the highest adsorption ability than other ferrite and MnFe2O4 is the lowest. Desorption ability of all ferrites is high except for Fe ion removal. Desorption of Fe ion shows very low result which might due to FeO bond from Fe ion reaction in acid solution. The endurance of MnFe2O4 and Fe3O4 as adsorbent after repeated adsorption and desorption process is up to 4 times and more than 6 times. The MnFe2O4 nanoparticles show a stability in adsorption ability after 4 times repetition adsorption and desorption process.

Pseudomonas sp. CU-1, which was isolated from an interfacial biofilm of a sludge sample collected from an electroplating company, had a relatively high ability to adsorb Cu2 +  in solution. The bacterium grown in broth culture produced a large amount of capsular exopolymers mainly consisting of polysaccharides. The exopolysaccharides (EPS) were partially purified. The adsorption isotherm experiments showed that cells and EPS of Pseudomonas sp. CU-1 had similar Q0 and b for the dye, Janus Green, and Cu2+. The adsorption of Cu2 +  by cells could be monitored by the amount of dye displaced, due to the binding of metal ions onto the cell surface. The order of adsorption ability of metal ions and dye displacement by metal ion of the bacterium was: Cu2 + > Cd2 + > Zn2 + > Ni2 + . The results of the dye displacement by metal ions binding onto the surfaces of cells, EPS-removed cells, and EPS suggest that EPS produced by Pseudomonas sp. CU-1 plays an important role in preventing metal ions in the surrounding environment from contact with the bacterial cells. The possible role of the metal ion adsorption by the EPS of this biofilm bacterium was discussed.

Crystal structure determinations on the isomorphous RbI and CsI complexes of 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate have shown the carboxylate entities to be coordinated in an unusual fashion where both oxygen atoms are in a tetrahedral environment indicative of negative charge localisation on each. The metal ions also show a highly irregular form of six-coordination, while the biphenyl units are planar, seemingly as a result of attractive interactions between the ortho hydrogen atoms.

The present research was performed aiming to develop gel with the characteristic of reversible thermosensitive in adsorbing heavy metal ions from its solution. There were three gels used in this study to adsorb heavy metal ion from salt solution provided Zn(NO3)2; copolymer gel consisting of zwitterionic betaine N,N-dimethyl(acrylamidopropyl)ammonium propane sulfonate (DMAAPS), N,N-dimethyl(acrylamidopropyl)ammonium butane sulfonate (DMAABS), and DMAAPS copolymerized with thermosensitive N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) gels. The aforementioned gels were employed to examine its ability in adsorbing and swelling after being synthesized through free radical polymerization before being affected by methylene spacer number, copolymerization, and temperature given. This research found that as the temperature increases, the ability of the gel in adsorbing the ions decreases. In the case of DMAAPS and DMAABS gel, the swelling degree value increases when the temperature also increases. Meanwhile, sulfobetaine which has larger spacer has higher adsorption ability but not with its swelling degree. In spite of having more spacer than DMAAPS, DMAABS found to have the smallest swelling degree value. In addition, NIPAM-co-DMAAPS was found to have both the highest adsorption ability and swelling degree value. Even though copolymer has less amount of sulfobetaine than DMAAPS and DMAABS gels’, the copolymer gel was found to have higher ability of adsorption as many as ten times of other gels.

A study of removal of heavy metal ions from heavy metal contaminated water using agro-waste was carried out with Musa paradisiaca peels as test adsorbent. The study was carried by adding known quantities of lead (II) ions and cadmium (II) ions each and respectively into specific volume of water and adding specific dose of the test adsorbent into the heavy metal ion solution, and the mixture was agitated for a specific period of time and then the concentration of the metal ion remaining in the solution was determined with Perkin Elmer Atomic absorption spectrophotometer model 2380. The effect of contact time, initial adsorbate concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature were considered. From the effect of contact time results equilibrium concentration was established at 60minutes. The percentage removal of these metal ions studied, were all above 90%. Adsorption and percentage removal of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from their aqueous solutions were affected by change in initial metal ion concentration, adsorbent dose pH and temperature. Adsorption isotherm studies confirmed the adsorption of the metal ions on the test adsorbent with good mathematical fits into Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Regression correlation (R2) values of the isotherm plots are all positive (>0.9), which suggests too, that the adsorption fitted into the isotherms considered.

Background: The metal ions play a vital role in a large number of widely differing biological processes. Some of these processes are quite specific in their metal ion requirements. In that only certain metal ions, in specific oxidation states, can full fill the necessary catalytic or structural requirement, while other processes are much less specific. Objective: In this paper we report the binding of Mn (II), Ni (II) and Co (II) with albumin are reported employing spectrophotometric and pH metric method. In order to distinguish between ionic and colloidal linking, the binding of metal by using pH metric and viscometric methods and the result are discussed in terms of electrovalent and coordinate bonding. Methods: The binding of Ni+2, Co+2 and Mn+2 ions have been studied with egg protein at different pH values and temperatures by the spectrometric technique. Results: The binding data were found to be pH and temperature dependent. The intrinsic association constants (k) and the number of binding sites (n) were calculated from Scatchard plots and found to be at the maximum at lower pH and at lower temperatures. Therefore, a lower temperature and lower pH offered more sites in the protein molecule for interaction with these metal ions. Statistical effects seem to be more significant at lower Ni+2, Co+2 and Mn+2 ions concentrations, while at higher concentrations electrostatic effects and heterogeneity of sites are more significant. Conclusion: The pH metric as well as viscometric data provided sufficient evidence about the linking of cobalt, nickel and manganese ions with the nitrogen groups of albumin. From the nature and height of curves in the three cases it may be concluded that nickel ions bound strongly while the cobalt ions bound weakly.
