Microbial activity in mixed wastes can have an appreciable effect on the dissolution or precipitation of toxic metals and radionuclides. Fundamental information on microbial dissolution and stabilization (immobilization) of toxic metals and radionuclides, in particular actinides and fission products, in nuclear wastes under various microbial process conditions, e.g., aerobic, denitrifying, iron-reducing, fermentative, sulfate-reducing, and methanogenic conditions is very limited. Microbial transformations of typical waste components such as metal oxides, metal coprecipitates, naturally occurring minerals, and metal organic complexes are reviewed.

However, this is dependent in part on dimensional characteristics. Thus, while massive metal forms have low chemical reactivity, fi nely-divided metal powders with high surface area show greater reactivity. • Simple binary compounds exist for each of the PGMs. They also form a vast array of complex coordination compounds in which the central metal atom is bound to a variety of ligands by coordinate bonding, including halides, sulphur, amines, and other atoms and groups. • This unique coordination chemistry has made PGM compounds of great industrial value, but also can have implications for the health of workers exposed to certain of these compounds due to the linkages with biological behaviour and toxicity (see Chapter 6). • The complex halogenated platinum compounds (CHPS) are among those which are industrially and toxicologically important.

  • Increase in Osmiophilia of Axonal Membranes of Crayfish As a Result of Electrical Stimulation, Asphyxia, Or Treatment with Reducing Agents
    INCREASE IN OSMIOPHILIA OF AXONAL MEMBRANES OF CRAYFISH AS A RESULT OF ELECTRICAL STIMULATION, ASPHYXIA, OR TREATMENT WITH REDUCING AGENTS CAMILLO PERACCHIA and J . DAVID ROBERTSON From the Department of Anatomy, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27706. Dr. Peracchia's present address is the Department of Physiology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York 14642 ABSTRACT Certain axonal membranes of crayfish abdominal nerve cord display ultrastructural changes if the axons are fixed, during electrical stimulation, by aldehydes followed by osmium . Such changes are characterized by an increase in electron opacity and thickness of the unit membranes' dense strata in the axon surface, endoplasmic reticulum, and outer mitochon- drial membranes . The electron opacity completely disappears if the sections are treated with hydrogen peroxide solutions . This suggests that the changes represent an increase in the membranes' reactivity for osmium . An unmasking of SH groups could explain such increased osmiophilia, since SH groups are very reactive with osmium, while disulfide bonds are considerably less reactive . This hypothesis was tested by treating control, glutaraldehyde- fixed nerve cords with disulfide reducing agents . In these preparations an increase in electron opacity and thickness was observed to be localized in the same axonal membranes which reacted as a result of electrical stimulation . The phenomenon did not appear if the SH groups were blocked by maleimide or N-ethylmaleimide before treatment with osmium . These findings seem to suggest that certain axonal membranes of crayfish contain proteins rich in sulfur whose SH groups are unmasked as a result of electrical stimulation. In pre- liminary experiments an increase in osmiophilia localized in the same membranes with the same characteristics and distribution was observed also in axons from nerve cords asphyxi- ated either in vitro or in the living animal .

  • A Mehtod for the Seperation and Gravimetric Determination of Osmium
    . 1 RP286 A METHOD FOR THE SEPARATION AND GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF OSMIUM By Raleigh Gilchrist ABSTRACT A procedure for the separation and gravimetric determination of osmium is described. This procedure involves the separation of osmium from other metais by distillation as the volatile tetroxide and its recovery from solution by hydro- lytic precipitation. A very suitable reagent for the quantitative absorption of the distilled tetroxide was found to be 6 normal hydrochloric acid saturated with sulphur dioxide. The recovery of osmium was accomplished by precipitating the hydrated dioxide from a boiling solution at acidities ranging from pH 1.5 to 6.3, after sulphite compounds had been decomposed by repeated evaporation with hydrochloric acid. The hydrated dioxide was impregnated with ammonium chloride to prevent mechanical loss when ignited to metal under hydrogen. The thiourea test devised b}' Chugaev for the detection of small quantities of osmium was modified so that it could be applied to solutions containing nitric acid. The test was found to be sensitive to 1 part in 5,000,000 parts of solution, which is 50 times as sensitive as stated by Chugaev, CONTENTS Page I. Introduction 422 1.

History 1.1 The history of the development of blood dyes has been outlined in Chapter 3.1, Acid dyes, of this Fingerprint Source Book. 2. Theory 2.1 General theory 2.1.1 The theory associated with the action of protein stains (in particular the acid dyes), in enhancing traces of blood is described in Chapter 3.1, Acid dyes (acid black 1, acid violet 17, acid yellow 7). 2.1.2 There are other reagents that react with the amines present in blood to give coloured or fluorescent products, the most well known of these being ninhydrin and 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO). They both react similarly with amino acids to form products that contain two deoxygenated molecules of the starting product bridged by a nitrogen atom, which is donated from the amine [1,2]. O O N N - N - N O O N N The reaction products with ninhydrin (left) and 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (right) and amines. 2.1.3 While the reaction mechanisms and products have similarities, the method of their visualisation is entirely different. Ninhydrin, under the right conditions, produces an intensely coloured product called ‘Ruhemann’s purple’ after the discoverer and DFO a pale pink, extremely fluorescent product. Ruhemann’s purple can be made to fluoresce by complexing it with metal salts but this additional process is still not as sensitive as DFO [3]. DFO requires heat for the reaction to proceed [4] while ninhydrin will react at room temperature provided moisture is available, although the process proceeds much faster at elevated temperatures and humidities.
