Three transition metal ions (Fe3+, Ni2+, Co2+) were used to react with five major components of urine (urea, creatinine, oxaiic acid, uric acid and citric acid), simulated urine (a combination of the five components) and protein solutions (BSA, tryptose, β2-microglobulin). Their reactions resulted i...
