    In this study, the existence of heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) their distribution in the organs of plant and their bioaccumulation rates in water samples and Myriophyllum spicatum which were collected from the Kadin Creek in seasonal periods between 2011 and 2012 were analyzed. Heavy metal concentrations in the mineralized plant and water samples were determined with Inductive coupled plasma with mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Results showed the maximum heavy metal concentrations, in the root and minimum heavy metal concentrations, except chromium, in the stem. The distribution of heavy metals As, Cd, Hg and Pb was in the form of root > leaf > stem; the distribution of Cr was in the root > stem > leaf. There was a strong negative correlation between the suspended solid matter and heavy metal concentrations in the plant tissues. Heavy metal accumulation showed increase generally in fall. Heavy metals in the water were sorted as Pb > Cr > As > Hg > Cd by their mean concentrations. According to the factor data of bioconcentration, the order of heavy metal accumulation in the plant was As > Cr > Pb > Hg > Cd

    Using experimental data available in the literature, two binary systems, namely Cu-Pb and Fe-Pb were recalculated. Next, accepting Cu-Fe phase diagram assessment as given by Ansara and Jansson, the ternary Cu-Fe-Pb system was analyzed. Calculated equilibrium lines and thermodynamic functions are compared with existing experimental data. Good agreement was found between the calculated diagram and the experimental results. Having the system optimized, functional dependences of the logarithms of the activity coefficients on temperature and concentrations for Cu, Fe and Pb in the liquid solution are given.Dwa układy podwójne Cu-Pb oraz Fe-Pb zostały powtórnie zoptymalizowane używając danych eksperymentalnych dostępnych w literaturze. Następnie, akceptując optymalizacje układu Cu-Fe opublikowana przez Ansare i Janssona, poddano analizie trójskładnikowy układ Cu-Pb-Fe. Obliczone linie równowagi faz oraz funkcje termodynamiczne zostały porównane z dostępnymi danymi eksperymentalnymi. Uzyskano dobrą zgodność pomiędzy policzonym układem a danymi eksperymentalnymi. Korzystając z wyników optymalizacji, zostały podane zalezności logarytmu współczynnika aktywności w funkcji temperatury oraz Cu, Fe i Pb w funkcji stężenia dla w roztworze ciekłym
