In this study, the usage of the peppermint (Mentha piperita) for extracting the metal ions [Mg (II), Cr (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Pb (II)] that exist at water was investigated. In order to analyze the stability properties, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were used at removing the metal ions and the highest correlation coefficients (R2) were obtained at Langmuir isotherm. Therefore, it is seen that the Langmuir model is more proper than the Freundlich model. However, it was found that the correlation coefficients of removing Ni and Cd is higher at Freundlich model than Langmuir and low at Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. It is established that the biosorption amount increase depends on the increase of biosorbent and it can be achieved high efficiency (95%) even with small amount (0.6 mg, peppermint extract) at lead ions. It is also determined that the peppermint extracted that is used at this study shows high biosorption capacity for metal ions and can be used for immobilization of metals from polluted areas.

Heavy metals have continued to be of great concern in research as major pollutants of water. Adsorption using low cost adsorbent is a low cost method of the removal heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. In this study activated carbon derived from macadamia intergrifolia nutshell powder was considered as an alternative low cost adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution. Various physicochemical parameters which included sorbent mass, and initial metal ions concentration isotherms using sorption models were determined. Results from the experiment indicated the optimum values for sorbent mass as 0.3 grams, and initial metal ions concentration as 8mg/l. Adsorption isotherms were found to fit well in Langmuir model (R2=0.9935), Javanovic model (R2 =0.9857) and Freundlich model (R2=0.9911). Additionally, for Langmuir model the value of separation factor (KL) was in the range of 0 to 1 indicating a favorable reaction. For Jovanovic model adsorption energy was found to be 1.00334 l/mg thus an indication of binding vibrations during Cd(II) ions adsorption.  FTIR spectrum revealed that the presence of O-H at νmax 3389 cm-1, COO- at νmax 2367 cm-1, C=0 at νmax 1593 cm-1,  C-O at νmax 1344 cm-1, P-O at νmax 1206 cm-1 and POO-H at νmax 1110cm-1 functional group in activated carbon enhanced Cd(II) ions removal.  The study revealed that activated carbon derived from macadamia intergrifolia nutshell can be used to remove Cd(II) ions from water.

Zeolite beta, a large-pore zeolite, was investigated in this study with a view to examining it as a potential adsorbent for the removal of aniline from aqueous solutions. Two different metal-loaded zeolites were prepared by exchanging H-beta zeolite (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1) with copper. The influence of exchanged copper on the uptake level was assessed. The effect of varying the silica-to-alumina ratio of the H-beta zeolite on the aniline uptake level was also examined, using three different H-beta zeolites with ratios of 25:1, 75:1 and 150:1 as adsorbents. The sorption experiments indicated an uptake level of ca. 110–120 mg/g for each zeolite and this level was also adsorbed by the copper-modified H-beta zeolites (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1). In all cases, the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model for adsorption and the level of aniline adsorbed was largely unaffected by a change in temperature or the presence of extra framework copper. The stability of the exchanged copper on these zeolites was then examined by measuring the quantity of copper leached from each zeolite into solution as a function of pH. Minimum copper leaching was observed in the pH range 5–11. This provided a stable pH working range for the adsorbent materials.

<p>The emission of metal ions in the environment has increased in recent times and since metal ions are not biodegradable, they belong to the cumulative toxins. Contamination of the environment with metal ions poses a serious danger to the entire ecosystem, agricultural production, quality of food and water, as well as to the health of humans and animals. This study investigates sorption as one of the processes which can be used for pollutants removal and efficiency of certain sorbent materials. Specifically, we focus on development and validation of non-linear Langmuir model and non-linear Freundlich model. Their application in sorption experiments is examined by applying different error functions and statistical methods which are employed to calculate the error divergence between observed data and predicted data of sorbate-sorbent system. Presented non-linear sorption models are developed by using programming language Fortran, and the data analysis is obtained by using different tools and packages in programming language R. Many authors are using linear sorption models in the way that they would linearize non-linear sorption models. It is evident that linear sorption models are used due to their simplicity in parameters estimation. We use approach of trying different algorithms and tools in programming language R in order to find the best objective function. This study shows that both non-linear Langmuir model and non-linear Freundlich model can be used for experimental data representation. The results also denote that better estimation and the better fit is given by Langmuir model due to divergence in error functions and graphical representation itself. The choice of sorption model has a great influence on the prediction of solute transfer and great care should be taken in selection of convenient approach.</p>

The purpose of our work was to examine the metal binding abilities of selected peptide bound Maillard reaction products (MRPs). The N<sup>α</sup>-hippuryl-protected MRPs N<sup>ε</sup>-fructoselysine and N<sup>ε</sup>-carboxymethyllysine were synthesised and measurement of stability constants for complexes formed with the physiologically important metal ions copper(II) and zinc(II) was carried out in aqueous solution (T = 298.1 K; I = 0.1M KNO<sub>3</sub>) using pH-potentiometry. The stability constants of N<sup>ε</sup>-fructoselysine and N<sup>ε</sup>-carboxymethyllysine with Cu(II) proved that new coordination centres are formed by the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins. With zinc(II) no complexation was observed. Physiological consequences are discussed, but further studies are necessary in order to clarify the effects of this phenomenon.

Chitosan/cellulose acetate multimicrospheres (CCAM) were prepared by the method of W/O/W emulsion with no toxic reagents and had the size interval of 200--280µm. It was investigated as an ideal alternative to enhancement the adsorption of water-soluble dyes from wastewater. The correlation coefficients of adsorption isotherm showed that the Freundlich model was comparable to the Langmuir model. The 1/n was lower than 1.0, indicating that malachite green was favorably adsorbed by CCAM. Furthermore, the amount of malachite green absorbed steeply increased with increasing time and reached plateau values within 2 h and increased with increasing of initial concentration of malachite green from 5 to 25 mg/g.

The adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution by a chromium-tolerant strain was studied through batch experiments. An isolate designated Zer-1 was identified as a species of Bosea on the basis of 16S rRNA results. It showed a maximum resistance to 550 mg·L−1 Cr(VI). The effects of 3 important operating parameters, initial solution pH, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and biomass dose, were investigated by central composite design. On the basis of response surface methodology results, maximal removal efficiency of Cr(VI) was achieved under the following conditions: pH, 2.0; initial concentration of metal ions, 55 mg·L−1; and biomass dose, 2.0 g·L−1. Under the optimal conditions, the maximum removal efficiency of Cr(VI) ions was found to be nearly 98%. The experimental data exhibited a better fit with the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The biosorption mechanisms were investigated with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetics models. These results revealed that biosorption of Cr(VI) onto bacterial biomass could be an alternative method for the removal of metal ions from aqueous solution.

Complexation of the Brilliant Yellow tetraanion, 14–, by the new coronand-linked α- and β-cyclodextrin (αCD and βCD) dimers 4,13-bis(6 A-deoxy-α-cyclodextrin-6 A-ylamidomethyl)-4,13-diaza-1,7,10-trioxacyclodecapentane and 4,13-bis(6 A-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin-6 A-ylamidomethyl)-4,13-diaza-1,7,10-trioxacyclodecapentane, 2 and 3, respectively, has been studied in aqueous solution. The complexation constants for 2 · 14– and 3 · 14– are K1 = (3.20 ± 0.05) × 105 and (2.76 ± 0.09) × 104 dm3 mol–1, respectively, at 298.2 K, pH 10.0, and I 0.10 mol dm–3 (NEt4ClO4). The pK a values of 2 · H22+ are 6.57 ± 0.04 and 5.88 ± 0.05, and of 3 · H22+ are 6.70 ± 0.03 and 6.08 ± 0.02. Complexation of the alkaline earth metal ions by 2 is characterized by complexation constants (2.73 ± 0.51) × 102, (1.52 ± 0.36) × 105, (1.49 ± 0.03) × 105, and (4.28 ± 0.07) × 104 dm3 mol–1 for Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+, respectively. These data are compared with those reported for analogous coronand-linked βCD dimer complexes to establish the hierarchy of the factors determining the stability of such complexes.

Abstract Although glutamine has been considered unstable during storage and therefore difficult to quantitate, recent results suggest this amino acid is stable at low pH ranges. We evaluated the stability of glutamine in plasma and tissue extracts, using fluorometric analysis. The measured concentration of glutamine detected varied linearly up to 0.8 mmol/L for the aqueous solution (r2 = 98.7, P = 0.0001) with a mean (+/- SD) coefficient of variation of 2.41% +/- 0.79%. When glutamine was dissolved in 50 g/L trichloroacetic acid (TCA), the values were essentially unaltered. Glutamine in an aqueous solution and stored at -70 degrees C was stable for at least 16 days; glutamine in TCA was stable for 6-8 days, then decreased to a concentration significantly lower than that of the aqueous solution. The expected and observed concentrations in plasma were equal (r2 = 0.99975) for increasing amounts of added glutamine. Glutamine concentrations in plasma were stable for &gt; 1 year when stored at -70 degrees C. The glutamine of a transplantable rat sarcoma and a normal rat liver could be extracted with 50 g/L TCA with high efficiency (88.6% +/- 1.9% and 90.2% +/- 0.04%, respectively); the extracted glutamine is stable in TCA for at least 7 days without neutralization when stored at -70 degrees C. Fluorometric analysis of glutamine required only a small quantity of plasma (25 microL) or tissue (200 mg) and is a convenient method for quantifying this important amino acid.
