Transition metal elements and others in river water sample supplied by The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry (JSAC) were determined by PIXE using 2.5 MeV proton beam at the Tokyo Institute of Technology Van de Graaff Laboratory. The relative detection efficiency for each X-ray of element and its recovery were studied in two methods: "Drop and Dry" and "Concentration" methods. Ten elements ( V , Cr , Mn , Fe , Ni , Cu , Zn , As , Se and Pb ) were determined, being in good agreement with the values certified by JSAC except for Mn . Intensity of K α X-ray of As and L α, X-ray of Pb nearly close to each other could be successfully evaluated using isolated L β X-ray of Pb . Mn was insufficiently recovered to give lower content than the certified value in the present conditions. V that is not listed in the certificate was found to show good agreement with that reported previously. Concentration method using sodium dibenzyldithiocarbamate only could be successfully employed for collecting these elements.

Selenium in industrial wastewater at sub-ppm level was determined by PIXE spectrometry at the Tokyo Institute of Technology Van de Graaff Laboratory using a 2.5 MeV proton beam. A chemical concentration method was applied for elemental analysis. Other elements ( Mn , Fe , Ni , Cu , Zn , Pb , Hg , Cd , As ) were also found simultaneously. Anion chromatography revealed that selenium forms an oxyanion SeO 32- in wastewater studied. Pb , As and Se of these chemical species are required to lower below the discharge standard to the public water, 0.1ppm, while that of Hg is 0.005ppm. The combined use of these two analysis tools will help for rapid monitoring of the quality in the public water environment.

A fungal isolate (ZZS4408) was obtained from a river water sample in Henan, China, and identified as a member of Neurospora brevispora, a rare species of Neurospora based on its morphological characteristics and ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (rDNA-ITS) sequence. The temperatures suitable for growth of the isolate were 28-37?C with 31?C as the optimum. The growth rates of hyphal tips were 19.1-42.5 (av. 31.9) ?m min-1 at 32?C. The pH suitable for vegetative growth ranged from 5 to 7, with pH 5.5 as the optimum. The heterodisaccharides (sucrose and lactose) and D-alanine were found to be most favorable for vegetative growth of the isolate, as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The vegetative growth of the isolate was more significantly influenced by nitrogen sources compared to carbon sources. N. brevispora could be considered a desirable fungal species for morphodifferentiation studies due to its rapid growth rates under favorable conditions.

Abstract The purpose of this research was to evaluate the potential of plant-immobilized bacterial cells synergism for enhanced remediation of polluted river water. The polluted river water sample was collected from Kalyani river, Uttarakhand, India and characterized by high concentration of COD (1010 mg/l), BOD (230 mg/l), NO3−-N (30 mg/l), PO43−-P (48.9 mg/l), and Pb(1.028 mg/l). This water sample was treated on a lab scale with immobilized bacterial cells and Epipremnum aureum in various treatment setups. The treatment system 3 using a combination of immobilized bacterial cells and Epipremnum aureum had the highest pollutant removal efficiency of all the treatment setups tested. At 96 hours, the total COD, BOD, NO3−-N, PO43−-P and Pb contents of polluted river water sample were reduced to 60 mg/l, 20 mg/l, 2.4 mg/l, 11.7 mg/l, and 0.065 mg/l, respectively. Based on the findings, it is possible to conclude that utilizing plant-immobilized bacterial cell synergism is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach for enhanced remediation and rejuvenation of polluted river water. Furthermore, a field-scale application of plant-immobilized bacterial cell synergism via floating wetland construction for on-site treatment of contaminated water on the Kalyani river is recommended.

Certain norcarotenoids, which have recently been found as excretion products of freshwater cyanobacteria and algae, are potent inhibitors of different metabolic functions in heterotrophic bacteria. 6-Methylhept-5-en-2-one showed the strongest effects and acted as a noncompetitive inhibitor of both glucose uptake and respiration by aquatic isolates of Chromobacterium lividum and Arthrobacter sp. Inhibition of the heterotrophic potential of glucose uptake by 6-methylhept-5-en-2-one was characterized by considerably lower inhibitor constants for bacterial cultures (Ki = 0.4 and 1.6 μM) than for a river water sample (Ki = 186.0 μM).

The samples of common salts available in Japan and Mongolia were analyzed for the presence of heavy elements by PIXE spectrometry using 2.5 MeV proton beam at the Tokyo Institute of Technology Van de Graaff Laboratory. The samples were dissolved in water and insoluble and soluble fractions were determined separately. The soluble constituents were treated with pre-concentration method by using DBDTC to form the complexes appropriate to percolation through a Nuclepore Track - etch Membrane. Insoluble particles were precipitated on the filter surface for subsequent direct irradiation. Combined As and Pb concentrations in insoluble portion of salts were found in the range of 7.2 – 102 ppm based on mass analysis of insoluble materials collected on Nuclepore Track - etch Membrane of the pore diameter 0.4μm. This level of toxic heavy metals makes a caution from the view-point of their safe intake.

Coastal area surrounding the river Ibar, in the area between cities of Kosovska Mitrovica and Leposavic in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, is occupied with seven industrial waste dumps. These dumps were all part of the exploitation and flotation refinement of raw mineral materials, metallurgic refinement of concentrates, chemical industry, industrial refinement and energetic facilities of Trepca industrial complex. The existing waste dumps, both active and inactive, are of heterogenic chemical composition. Its impact on the river water is shown by the content of heavy metals found in it. Removal of lead, cadmium and zinc would be economically unrewarding, regardless of the technology used. Wooden plant that prevails in this area is white willow. This work is focused on the removal of heavy metals (Pb, Cd and Zn) from the water of the river Ibar using white willow. Roots of the willow are cultivated using the method of water cultures in an individual solution of heavy metals and river water sample. The preparation of the samples for analysis was performed by burning the herbal material and dissolving ashes in the appropriate acids. The concentrations of metals were determined by the stripping analysis. In the investigated heavy metal solutions the biomass increase is 25.6% in lead solution, 27.3% in cadmium and 30.7% in zinc solution. The increase of biomass in nutritional solution, without the heavy metals, is 32.4% and in river water sample 27.5%. The coefficient of bioaccumulation in solutions with heavy metals is 1.6% in lead solution, 1.9% in cadmium and 2.2% in zinc solution. Heavy metals accumulation is 18.74 ?g of lead, 20.09 ?g of cadmium and 22.89 ?g of zinc. The coefficient of bioaccumulation of the water samples, that contained 44.83 ?g/dm3 of lead, 29.21 ?g/dm3 of cadmium and 434.00 ?g/dm3 of zinc, during the period of 45 days, was 30.3% for lead, 53.4% for cadmium and 3.9% for zinc. The concentrations of accumulated metals from the river water are 19.01 ?g of lead, 21.85 ?g of cadmium and 23.96 ?g of zinc in grams dry matter. The obtained results indicate that the willow can contribute to the decontamination of moderately contaminated river water from Pb, Cd and Zn.
