Batch isotherm studies using spiked sewage samples containing a range of total soluble nickel concentrations typical of municipal sewage strongly suggested that it is the free (i.e. uncomplexed) nickel ion that is sorbed by activated sludge. Equations relating nickel uptake by activated sludge to free nickel ion concentrations and the extent of complexation in untreated sewage were developed and applied. Predicted and measured nickel removals generally agreed to within ± 30%.

Large amounts of Fe(iii) or Fe(ii) strongly modify the biphasic behavior of the system P44414Cl/HCl/H2O while large amounts of Fe(iii) induce a biphasic regime for the mixture PEG-600/HCl/H2O.

In this research, composites of layered double hydroxide (LDH) with three Jordanian natural raw materials; Tripoli (T), Pozzolana (P) and Feldspar (F) were prepared by co-precipitation and have been used for feed seawater pre-treatment. The data reveals that percent adsorption decreased with increase in initial concentration, but the actual amount of adsorbed ions per unit mass of LDH/T-P-F increased with increase in metal ion concentrations. The values of ?Go were negative and within 21 to 26 KJ/mol, while the values of ?Ho and ?So were positive and within the range of 0.1 to 25 KJ/mol. The values of ?H?, ?S?, and ?G? indicate the favorability of physisorption and show that the LDH/T-P-F composites have a considerable potential as adsorbents for the removal of ions from seawater.

Introduction: The primary aim of the current study was to determine whether metal ion levels could identify well- from poorly-functioning implants in patients after undergoing bilateral Articular Surface Replacement (ASR) Hip System. The secondary aim was to establish threshold values for Co and Cr that could be used to predict clinical problems in these patients. Materials and methods: The study included 125 patients treated with bilateral ASR hip resurfacing (HRA) and 93 patients treated with bilateral ASR XL total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a mean follow-up of 7.1 years post-surgery. Patients were labelled as well- or poorly-functioning based on strict criteria. We calculated the Co and Cr safe upper ion limits (SUL) for ASR HRA and ASR XL THA separately and assessed these cutoffs ability to predict clinical problems. Results: In patients with bilateral ASR HRA, the well-functioning group had lower ions than the poorly-functioning. In ASR THA patients, there was no difference in blood Co or Cr levels between well- and poorly-functioning implant groups ( p = 0.118 and p = 0.379, respectively). Both Co and Cr could effectively discriminate between well-functioning and poorly-functioning ASR HRA implants ( p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively), but not for ASR THA implants ( p = 0.118 and p = 0.564, respectively). SULs of 4.0 ppb for Co and 4.0 ppb for Cr could differentiate between well- and poorly-functioning implants with high specificity. Conclusions: Metal ion levels are a more reliable tool in MoM HRA than THA when discriminating well- from poorly-functioning implants in bilateral patients. For patients treated with bilateral ASR HRA, ion levels above 4.0 ppb are highly specific for the detection of clinical problems.
