A series of thiosemicarbazide derivatives were designed, synthesized successfully and their cytotoxicity was then tested on some cancerous as well as laboratory normal model systems by using colorimetric assay based on WST-1 reagent. According to the cytotoxicity results, some compounds showed high toxicity effect on both the cancerous and healthy cell lines. The results of toxicity assays on U87 and A549 cell lines showed the survivability less than 50% at all concentrations higher than 10 ppm for all the synthesized compounds. The MCF-7 cell line approximately exhibited the same behaviour and had survivability less than 60%.

It is heterogeneous in composition, which can vary considerably. Ash is mainly disposed of in landfills, which poses a risk for air, soil and groundwater contamination by trace elements. In order for wood biomass ash to be used as a secondary raw material, it is necessary to perform leaching tests, to determine which microelements it contains, and which of them could be released into the environment during the ash disposal. Sequential extraction showed that in the exchangeable and carbonate fraction, the most volatile metals As, Cd, Zn and Pb are released the most from the ash of deciduous trees, while the leaching of ash from coniferous trees is significantly lower. The evaluation of risk assessment code (RAC) for the tested biomass ash samples, indicates that Pb is a high-risk leaching element due to its condensation on the ash particles. By performing TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) and SPLP (Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure) tests, it was established that the released concentrations of tested metals are below the maximum allowable concentration, given by the Regulation. The leaching tests of composites, prepared from wood ash in combination with cement, indicate that the leaching of ash is reduced to a minimum, and that all heavy metals are bound in a cement matrix, which indicates the possibility of using wood ash for construction purposes.","PeriodicalId":17489,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Serbian Chemical Society","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68513302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
