A simple and highly sensitive separation and preconcentration procedure, which has minimal impact on the environment, has been developed. The procedure is based on the carrier element free coprecipitation (CEFC) of Co(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II) ions by using 2-{4-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-3-(4-methylbenzyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro- 1H-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl}-N'-(pyridin-2-yl methylidene)acetohydrazide (IMOTPA), as an organic coprecipitant. The levels of analyte ions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The detection limits for Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions were found to be 0.40, 0.16 and 0.17 microg L(-1), respectively, and the relative standard deviations for the analyte ions were lower than 3.0%. Spike tests and certified reference material analyses were performed to validate the method. The method was successfully applied for the determination of Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions levels in sea and stream water as liquid samples and red pepper, black pepper, and peppermint as solid samples.

Mining metals for the advancement of society requires innovative and cost-effective remediation strategies that protect the environment and, ideally, allow for concentration and recovery of metals from waste streams. Microbially mediated strategies that remove metals from aqueous waste streams via sorption and/or oxidation-reduction reactions show promise as eco-friendly, cost-effective solutions. Our objective was to use Mn-oxidizing fungi, isolated from the Soudan Underground Mine State Park, MN, a high-salinity, mine-impacted environment, to sequester transition metals Mn, Co, Cu, and Ni.

Developing on-line hyphenated technique for the sensitive and accurate monitoring of heavy metal ions (HMs) is significant and interesting. In this connection, magnetic field-enhanced in-tube solid phase microextraction technique (ME/IT-SPME) was on-line hyphenated with HPLC system for the simultaneously quantitative analysis of Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in various environmental samples. To enhance the ultraviolet sensitivity, the studied HMs were reacted with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (DDTC) to form HMs/DDTC complexes.

The selectivity of the colorimetric method for Co(II) determination using the nitroso-R-salt (NRS) in samples with complex matrices has been improved. Interferences caused by Cu(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III) and Ni(II) ions, which were present in the bioleach ate of lithium-ion batteries, have been solved through the sequential addition of masking agents: acetate, fluoride, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and strong acids (HSO). The absorbance of the NRS-Co(II) complex was typically measured at 525 nm, but it was also studied at 550 nm due to minimal interferences observed at 550 nm.

Metal ions, including Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Nd(III), Eu(III), and Tb(III), were investigated in binary systems alongside ampicillin at molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:2. These investigations were carried out in aqueous solutions, and the formation of complexes was verified through meticulous computational analysis. Detailed stability constants for the formed complexes and equilibrium constants for the involved reactions were meticulously determined.

For mitigating the wide spread antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aims: Simple synthesis of new series of coordination metal complexes: Cu(II), Co(II), Sm(III), Gd(III) and Tb(III) from the prepared Schiff base bis-hydrazones ligands I-VIII (derivatives of glyoxal, biacetyl and benzyl-hydroxybenzaldhyde and methoxysalicaldhyde). Structural features derived from elemental analysis (empirical formula), melting point (purity), nuclear magnetic resonance (H, C) spectra and mass spectra.
