The metal uptake and effiux rate constants were 1.04×10^3±1.00×10^2 L·g^-1·d^-1 and 9.28× 102+ 1.43×10-2 d^-1 for Cu and 1.60× 104+1.78×10^3L·g^-1·d^-1and 9.23×10^2 -4- 9.1 1×10^3d^-1 for Ag, respectively. For both Cu and Ag, the uptake rate constants when the copepods were exposed to solutions of a single metal were generally higher than that when the copepods were exposed to metal mixtures. The results suggest an antagonistic interaction between waterborne Cu and Ag exists in marine copepods. The different distributions of Cu and Ag among the exoskeleton and polar and nonpolar parts of the copepods revealed that the metal bioavailability in copepods exposed to metal mixtures enhanced in some degree compared to copepods exposed to single metal solutions.展开更多

The presence and timing of ddition of natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) have a significant effect on the HM removal by clay mineral sorbents. However, the influence of the presence of DOM on the remediation of the used clay mineral sorbents once saturated with HMs is largely unknown. To resolve this, clay mineral-rich soil column of varying composition, loaded (i) with Cu, Zn and Ni only, (ii) first with DOM followed by Cu, Zn and Ni, or (iii) with DOM, Cu, Zn and Ni simultaneously, was used in a set of desorption experiments. The soil columns were leached with 0.001 mol L-1 CaCI2 dissolved in water as control eluent and 0.001 tool L-1 CaC12 dissolved in DOM as treatment eluent. During the preceding loading phase of the sorbent, the timing of DOM addition (sequential or concurrent with HMs) was found to have a significant influence on the subsequent removal of the HMs. In particular when the column was loaded with DOM and HMs simultaneously, largely irreversible co-precipitation took place. Our results indicate that the regeneration potential of clay mineral sorbents in wastewater treatment will be significantly reduced when the treated water is rich in DOM. In contrast, in manured agricultural fields (where HMs enter together with DOM), HM mobility will be lower than expected from interaction dynamics of HMs and clay minerals.展开更多
Three new isostructural binuclear transition metal complexes with azido ion and 1,2-bis(3-(pyridin-2-yl)-lH-pyrazol-1- yl)ethane (bppe), formulated as [M2(N3)2(bppe)2](C104)2 (M = Co, 1; Ni, 2; Cu, 3), w...Three new isostructural binuclear transition metal complexes with azido ion and 1,2-bis(3-(pyridin-2-yl)-lH-pyrazol-1- yl)ethane (bppe), formulated as [M2(N3)2(bppe)2](C104)2 (M = Co, 1; Ni, 2; Cu, 3), were successfully synthesized. They were structurally and magnetically characterized. In 1-3, the double azido ions link two adjacent octahedral metal centers together in the end-to-on mode (EO), with the M-NEo-M angles of 99.41°, 100.24° and 99.80°, respectively. The co-ligand bppe acts as terminal ligand to saturate the remaining coordination sites. The magnetic properties of 1-3 have been investigated in the tem- perature range of 2-300 K. Fitting of the magnetic susceptibility data revealed the occurrence of the strong ferromagnetic in- teractions [J = 26.32 cm-1 (1), J = 38.23 cm-1 (2) and J = 139.83 cm-1 (3)]. Density functional theory calculations have been performed on 1-3 to provide a magneto-structural correlation of the ferromagnetic behavior.展开更多
