Description

Application

• Arsenite tolerance and removal potential of the indigenous halophilic bacterium, Halomonas elongata SEK2.: This study explores the application of silver diethyldithiocarbamate in bioremediation, specifically its role in enhancing arsenite removal by Halomonas elongata SEK2. This research provides insights into the potential of using complexed silver compounds in environmental cleanup efforts, particularly in saline environments where traditional methods may fail. The findings could significantly impact wastewater treatment and environmental sustainability practices (Tavoosi et al., 2024).


• The development and use of an innovative laboratory method for measuring arsenic in drinking water from western Bangladesh.: This paper details the use of silver diethyldithiocarbamate in a novel analytical method to measure trace levels of arsenic in drinking water. This development not only enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of arsenic detection but also demonstrates the critical role of silver diethyldithiocarbamate in public health monitoring, offering a significant improvement over traditional testing methods (Frisbie et al., 2005).


• Methods of analysis for toxic elements in food products. 2. Review of USSR standards on determinations of heavy metals and arsenic.: This review discusses various methods, including the use of silver diethyldithiocarbamate, for the analysis of toxic elements in food products. The article highlights the importance of stringent quality control in food safety and the role of advanced chemical reagents in ensuring the reliability of detection methods in the food industry (Skurikhin, 1989).
