Bispidine (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) ligands, derivatives of diazaadamantane, possess a very rigid backbone and have a high degree of pre-organization for cis-octahedral coordination geometries. Despite their rigidity, they exert a flexible coordination sphere, resulting in stable complexes with a variety of metal ions in various oxidation states. Due to the known high III/II redox potentials of their cobalt complexes, the CoII bispidine complexes are generally resistant to oxidation by dioxygen. Discussed in the present study are various CoII bispidine complexes with tetra- and pentadentate bispidines, with one of these complexes shown to be unstable under aerobic conditions. The decay process has been identified as an oxidative elimination of the 2-methylene pyridine substituent at one of the tertiary amine donors, resulting in picolinate, which is found coordinated to a CoIII product, where the dealkylated N-donor remains unprotonated. The mechanism of this interesting reaction has been studied, and details of the resulting structure of the product complex are discussed.

Ammonia removal was monitored in a waste stabilisation pond complex comprising ponds of different geometries and depths under two different operational regimes. It was found that a high degree of ammonia removal commenced in the secondary maturation ponds, with the highest removals occurring in the shallowest ponds as a consequence of improved aerobic conditions. The tertiary maturation ponds produced effluents with mean ammonia concentrations of < 5 mg N/l, the maximum permitted recommended by Brazilian environmental legislation for the discharge of effluents of wastewater treatment plants into surface waters. Ammonia removal in the secondary facultative and maturation ponds could be modelled using equations based on the volatilization mechanism proposed by Middlebrooks et al. (1982).

ABSTRACTA radioactive tracer experiment has been performed in a highly conductive fracture zone, using a dipole geometry. Anions (131I− and 82Br−) and complexed metal ions (51Cr-EDTA, 58Co-EDTA, 111In-EDTA, 140La-DOTA, 160Tb-EDTA, 169Yb-EDTA and 177Lu-DOTA) have been injected and their properties as non-sorbing tracers were evaluated. Besides, studies of slightlysorbing cations (24Na+, 58Co2+, 86Rb+ and 201T1+) were performed. 99mTcO4 and its chemical analogue 186ReO4 were also injected to study the behaviour of Tc at low redox-potentials. Breakthrough was obtained for Re and for all metal complexes and anions. Some differences in the recovery yields could be seen. No transport of cations, except for Na, could be measured. No breakthrough of Tc could be observed. This indicates that TcO4− was reduced and sorbed.

Sorption characteristics of “Ekozol-401” high-dispersed solid-phase agent in water solutions containing ions of iron, aluminum and manganese have been studied. Influence of the sorbent content, extracted metals’ concentration, saline background, hardness and alkalinity, water hydrogen indicator value as well as amount of modifier contained in the solid-phase agent have been stated. High degree of water purification in terms of the said ions has been demonstrated.

ABSTRACTPentastomida, tongue worms, are a taxon of about 130 species of parasites, living exclusively in the respiratory tracts of vertebrates. Three-dimensionally preserved Upper Cambrian larvae already demonstrate a high degree of adaptation to parasitism, striking morphological conservatism, and a high diversification by the Late Cambrian, thereby suggesting a likewise diversified host group. Not least due to their highly modified morphology, the systematic affinities of pentastomids remain controversial. The two major alternatives place the group as either close to branchiuran crustaceans or as stem-lineage derivatives of the Euarthropoda. To this set of Cambrian fossil representatives of the pentastomids we can add a new form from Lower Ordovician boundary beds from Sweden, most likely reworked from Upper Cambrian horizons. Based on this new species, named Aengapentastomum andresi gen. et sp. nov., and the available information about fossil and Recent pentastomids, we review the diverging ideas on the systematic position of this fully parasitic taxon.
