Concurrent uptake and export of ions were measured in a very salt-sensitive species, Phaseolus vulgaris, and in a halophyte, Atriplex. In plants with high chloride and sodium � concentrations, the whole plants, shoots, and older leaves exported only a small percentage of previously absorbed ions. However, chloride retranslocation from older leaves was appreciable in plants of low chloride concentrations. Similar results were obtained previously for a salt-tolerant non-halophyte (Hordeum vulgare). Thus these halophytes and non-halophytes do not differ in the characteristics rneasured.

Ten species of Casuarina and Allocasuarina were exposed to increasing levels of NaCl (max 550 mM) in solution culture over a period of 5 months. Na+ and Cl- ion concentrations increased in the tissues of all species as the salinity increased and K+ was selectively accumulated. Those species which ultimately survived to the highest salinities tested had lower concentrations of Na+ and Cl- in both shoot and roots and lower Na+/K+ ratios than the more sensitive species at low external salinities. Osmotic adjustment of the Casuarina species was principally accounted for by Na+ and Cl- in the shoots. Turgor pressure was not lost until the plants were close to death, so that inhibition of height growth by NaCl was probably due to the high cellular ion concentrations. Plants were more sensitive to osmotic shock than to a gradual increase in salinity.

This is a study on the regulation of chloride concentrations in H. vulgare at the early tillering stage, when grown on media of high sodium chloride concentration. 36CI was used during certain periods to determine retranslocation.

The intracellular concentrations of Na+, K+, and Cl− of the anaerobic halophilic eubacterium Haloanaerobium praevalens were assayed by means of X-ray microanalysis with the transmission electron microscope. Apparent intracellular cation concentrations between 1.22 and 1.91 M and chloride concentrations of 0.93–1.57 M were measured in cells growing exponentially in 2.6 M total salts. In exponentially growing cells, K+ was the major cation (70% of the cation sum). Stationary phase cells showed a high variability among individual cells, some of the cells containing higher Na+ than K+ concentrations.Key words: Haloanaerobium praevalens, intracellular ion concentrations, sodium, potassium, X-ray microanalysis.

The effects of individual inorganic anions (nitrate and chloride) on the reactivity of granular iron were investigated using plexiglass columns packed with granular iron. The results show that TCE removal decreases apparently with increasing nitrate concentration due to competition for reactive sites. Chloride exhibits dual-effect on the TCE removal by Fe0. In the studied condition, the TCE dechlorination is enhanced at the low chloride concentration due to pitting corrosion and is dampened at the high chloride concentrations such as 59.98 and 110.45 mg/L as Cl-.

Young barley plants, Hordeum vulgare cv. Chevron, were subjected to a sodium chloride concentration of 100 m-equiv/l. In a "continued" treatment, the salinity stress was maintained for 15 days. In a "removed" treatment, sodium chloride was removed from the substrate after 5 days, and the subsequent response was studied over a period of 10 days.

Most copper minerals are found as sulfides, with chalcopyrite being the most abundant. However; this ore is refractory to conventional hydrometallurgical methods, so it has been historically exploited through froth flotation, followed by smelting operations. This implies that the processing involves polluting activities, either by the formation of tailings dams and the emission of large amounts of SO2 into the atmosphere. Given the increasing environmental restrictions, it is necessary to consider new processing strategies, which are compatible with the environment, and, if feasible, combine the reuse of industrial waste. In the present research, the dissolution of pure chalcopyrite was studied considering the use of MnO2 and wastewater with a high chloride content. Fine particles (−20 µm) generated an increase in extraction of copper from the mineral. Besides, it was discovered that working at high temperatures (80 °C); the large concentrations of MnO2 become irrelevant. The biggest copper extractions of this work (71%) were achieved when operating at 80 °C; particle size of −47 + 38 µm, MnO2/CuFeS2 ratio of 5/1, and 1 mol/L of H2SO4.
