Sediment components and redox properties change with oxic/anoxic condition, which affect the environmental transport of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Herein, the influence of oxic/anoxic condition on the variation of redox and residual components of sediments, where organic matter, iron and manganese oxides are separated from the original sediment collected from Lake Taihu, China, are inves...

the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of apical negative pressure (anp), manual dynamic agitation (mda), passive ultrasonic irrigation (pui) and needle irrigation (ni) as final irrigation activation techniques for smear layer removal in curved root canals.mesiobuccal root canals of 80 freshly extracted maxillary first molars with curvatures ranging between 25° and 35° were used. a gl...

To reduce the membrane fouling in an immersed membrane bioreactor (MBR) during the treatment of food wastewater, an additional continuous stirring was introduced. The results showed that both a better membrane performance and a higher degradation efficiency for food wastewater were obtained. The membrane contributed mostly in concentrating the activated sludge. The bioreactor ensured the degrad...

Introduction: A major concern of human being is accumulation and toxicity of heavy metals in their body. Copper is a heavy metal ion that in concentration of 2 mg/l can cause numerous complications. Different treatment methods have been proposed for removing metals from contaminated water by researchers. Among these methods, sorption seems a better method with high removal efficiency. In this s...

Potassium Permanganate (KMnO 4 ), which is a kind of strong oxidizer, used in water production. As KMnO containing Manganese, the Manganese concentration may get higher by overdosing additives, however, there isn’t any conclusion dosing interval present study. This paper sand as catalyst and trying to determine optimal amount oxidizers, ratio limit. The results showed that could remove manganes...

A submersible analyzer (Geochemical Anomaly MOnitoring System, GAMOS-IV) powered by micro-diaphragm pumps has been developed for in situ monitoring of time-series changes in manganese concentrations. The analyzer determines dissolved manganese in a continuous manner using a H2O2-luminol chemiluminescence method. The analyzer operates with a sample and reagent flow rate of approximately 60 ml/mi...
