Research ArticleOpen accessExtraction of Ca (II) and Mg (II) from Hydrochloric Acid Solutions by N, N-Dioctyl-1-Octan Ammonium Chloride in Methyl Isobutyl KetoneArben Haziri, Fatmir Faiku, Imer Haziri et al.Problem statement: Amines as organic molecules are able to form complexes with metals ions and this is the reason why we can use them to extract metals ions from hydrometallurgical solutions. Approach: Based on that, we have investigated the extraction of Calcium and Magnesium with N, N-dioctyl-1-octan ammonium chloride from the mixture of elements (Ca and Mg) prepared in artificial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 8 Jun 2012 · 7,592 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessDetermination of Lead in Soil along the Highways of KosovaAlbert Maxhuni, Fatmir Faiku, Musaj Pacarizi et al.Problem statement: During recent several decades soil was polluted more and more serious by heavy metals because of mining, smelting, irrigating with sewerage and some other human activities. These heavy metals may adversely affect soil ecology, agricultural production or product quality and ground water quality and will ultimately harm to health of mankind by food chain. Approach: We had analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 6 Jan 2012 · 7,077 accessesView PDF Cite
