Emerging contaminants (ECs) usually refer to pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, personal care products, cosmetics, and medications. Due the strong demand quick growth of these businesses, ECs have continuously been found in alarming amounts groundwater, surface water, wastewater. These provide a significant non-esthetic threat ecosystem as whole can cause contaminatio...

Abstract The rapid growth in the world population and fast developing industrialization have resulted acceleration of environmental pollution due to inadequate treatment methods accompanied by depletion freshwater. current research focused on batch slaughter house wastewater (SWW) using sequential three-step electro-coagulation (EC)–electro-oxidation (EO)–adsorption column (AC) processes compar...

The removal of COD and oil from dairy wastewater was experimentally investigated using direct current (DC) electrocoagulation (EC). In the EC of dairy wastewater, the effects of initial pH, electrolysis time, initial concentration of COD, and current intensity were examined. The COD in the aqueous phase were effectively removed when aluminum plates were used as sacrificial electrodes. The optim...

In this study, sequential coagulation and electro-oxidation (EO) processes were applied to landfill leachate, which is highly contaminated complex wastewater. Since the pollutant content of leachate was too high, process (poly aluminum chloride (PAC) as a coagulant) pre-treatment reduce cost EO process. The Box-Behnken design response surface methodology used. color number (CN) removal efficien...

Considerable amount of unconsumed dyes from textile, paper and printing industries are being discharged into water bodies, every day. The presence of dyes and pigments in water causes considerable damage to the aquatic environment [1]. These contaminants result in high chemical oxygen demand (COD), high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), toxicity, bad smell, and are mainly responsible for the col...

Wastewaters are a potential source of pollutants causing serious problems to the environment. Liquid membrane is able to remove contaminants in wastewaters [1], among other techniques such as chemical precipitation, coagulation–flocculation, flotation, ion exchange, electro-oxidation and adsorption [2,3]. It has been given considerable attention by researchers due to its outstanding characteris...

Cofactors involved in respiratory tract carcinogenesis were studied in Syrian golden hamsters or in rats using benzo(a)pyrene as the carcinogenic agent. These factors included severe tissue damage induced by electro-coagulation, glass fibers administered by intratracheal instillation, acetaldehyde as irritant vapor, food restriction, and nutrients such as vitamin A and saturated and unsaturated...

To investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion combined with myomectomy for uterine fibroids. From August 2008 to August 2009, forty-eight women with uterine fibroids desiring to preserve their uteri underwent laparoscopic myomectomy. Among them, 18 women received laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion before uterine myomectomy while the others received laparoscopic my...

conclusions an hb-driven algorithm, in combination with the “coagulation box” and the early use of clotting factors, could be a simple and effective tool for improving coagulopathy in multiple trauma patients. results over a 12-month investigation period, 123 severe multiple trauma patients needing intensive care therapy were admitted to our trauma center (mean age 48 years, mean iss (injury se...
