A study on the removal of arsenic from real life groundwater using iron-chitosan composites is presented. Removal of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) was studied through adsorption at pH 7.0 under equilibrium and dynamic conditions. The equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir adsorption models and the various model parameters were evaluated. The monolayer adsorption capacity from the Langmuir model...

Introduction In hemodialysis patients on ferric citrate hydrate, the increase in ferritin level is mainly due to the administration of the compound. We investigated possible other factors associated with ferritin level and how erythropoietin resistance index and erythropoiesis in those patients were affected. We looked at ferritin-elevating factors using data from a Japanese phase III long-term...

Arsenic (As) contamination in the groundwater of Bangladesh is one of the major public health concerns. It has become a challenge to remove As from groundwater and a great deal of efforts employed in this regards with limited success. Cerium oxide is one of the important medias of arsenic removal techniques. Nine units of cerium-based arsenic technology were tested with seven different well wat...

in order to study the effect of  foliar application of zinc and iron on germination of soybaen seed under different level of irrigation, an experiment was conducted in 2009 at shahrekord agricultural research center. main factor was including of four levels of drought stress as irrigation (irrigation after 60, 80, 100 and 120 mm evaporation from class a evaporation basin) and sub factor was inc...

Over the past years, several studies have raised concerns about the possible interactions between methane hydrate decomposition and external change. To carry out such an investigation, it is essential to characterize the baseline dynamics of gas hydrate systems related to natural geological and sedimentary processes. This is usually treated through the analysis of sulfate-reduction coupled to a...

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled to sulfate reduction has been shown to consume up to 90% of the greenhouse gas methane produced within the subseafloor environment; however, the mechanism of this process has remained enigmatic. Here, we provide geochemical evidence based on sulfur, oxygen, and carbon isotopes for the involvement of iron oxides in sulfate-driven AOM inmethane seeps. ...

Mono and bis hexamethylenetetramine iron(III) chloride, Fe(N C ,H ) CI (I) and Fe(N C ,H ) Cl (II) were synthesized by the reaction of iron(III) chloride and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) in chloroform. Chemical analysis and spectral results show the coordination of HMTA to the iron(III). Electronic transition spectra of compound I and I1 were also studied in coordinating and noncoordinatin...

abstract background some researches have shown the association between iron deficiency and migraine headache in adults. the aim of present study was to evaluate efficacy of ferrous sulfate treatment on migraine headaches of 5-15 years old migraineur children with iron deficiency. materials and methods in a quasi- experimental study, monthly frequency, severity, duration and disability of headac...

a simple, rapid and sensitive solvent assisted-dispersive solid phase extraction method was developed for the extraction of iron(ii) prior to its spectrophotometric determination. the fe(ii) reacted with 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, neutralized with sodium dodecyl sulfate and extracted onto the fine particles of benzophenone which were formed upon rapid injection of a mixture of benzop...
