The species of Cr (III), Cr (VI) in biological samples and V(IV), V(V) in foods & plants samples were determined by spectrophotometric methods. Integrated spectral studies of complexes [Cr (III, VI)-DPC], [Cr (VI)-bipy], [VO-SH], [V (V)-8-HQ] which included a study of the optimum conditions for the complexes formation by the investigation of the chemical and physical variables affecting each complex formation, the nature of complexes, the preparation of calibration curves of the complexes and treated the resulted data by modern statistical methods and study the interfering species. Interferences were removed to explain the reactions thermodynamically by determining Eï‚°cell, Keq. and ∆G values and includes a study of

Chelating agents were used in a chelation therapy to detoxify heavy metals and toxins and convert them to an inactive form which was excreted out of the body. Nickel is one of these toxic heavy metal when presented in a high values over its allowable limit. This work studies the complexation of some amino acid (Glycine, Histidine, and Arginine) with nickel (II) ion and compare the result with complexation of EDTA (the synthesized amino acid) used in the chelation therapy. Our experiment were performed in a phosphate buffer of PH (7.2) and in a different temperature (283, 288,293, 298, 303)K . The results show a high tendency for these amino acid to nickel ion with an equilibrium constant in arrange of [KNi(II)-EDTA(17.2×108) > KNi(II

ABSTRACT Background:Hydrogen absorption and related degradation in the mechanical properties of Ni-Ti based orthodontic wires has been demonstrated following exposure to fluoride prophylactic agents. This study was designed to investigate the effects of three fluoride containing agents on the load deflection characteristics of heat activated nickel titanium arch wires during unloading phase. Material and method: Eighty specimens of heat activated nickel titanium arch wires were obtained from Ortho Technology Company, half of which had a 0.016 inch round and 0.019x0.025 rectangular. Ten specimens from both wire size were immersed in one of the tested fluoride prophylactic agents (neutral sodium fluoride gel, stannous fluoride gel or phos-flu

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Al-Rasheed power plant (RPP) effluents at Al-Zafaraniya city on the physical – chemical of the Tigris River by using Canadian Water Quality Index(CCME WQI).Water samples were taken  monthly at four positions  and 11parameters were analyzed . The results of this study conducted that there was a significant impact of the RPP effluents on increase of water temperature, turbidity and electrical conductivity, and there was an increase in the phosphate concentration and water hardness at station 2 and the model classified water of Tigris river as poor in winter and fair to marginal in rest season for drinking and aquatic life

One of the most important problems that faces the concrete industry in Iraq is the deterioration due to internal sulfate attack , since it  reduces the compressive strength and increases the expansion of concrete. Consequently, the concrete structure may be damage .The effects of total and total effective sulfate contents on high strength concrete (HSC) have been studied in the present study.

The research studied the effect of sulfate content in cement , sand and gravel , as well as comparing  the total sulfate content with the total effective SO₃ content. Materials used were divided into two groups of SO₃ in cement ,three groups of SO₃ in sand ,and two groups of SO

This research has studied the effect of addition glass fibers (woven and chopped)
and Zirconium oxide Nano-particles (ZrO2) with different weight percent to the
conventional poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The prepared Nano-crystalline
ZrO2 powder with particle size of about 95nm was syntheses directly by sol-gel
method. The gel dried at 100oC for 1 hour and annelid at 400oC for 3 hours.
The conventional acrylic resin prepared with 2:1 powder to liquid ratio to prepare
pure sample, composite samples prepared by reinforcing PMMA with woven or
chopped glass fiber (8, 12) wt.%, and reinforcing by (1,2,3) wt.% of prepared ZrO2
Nano-powder.
The structural tests include: (XRD, AFM, and FTIR). The crystallized phas
