the aerial oxidation of hydroquinone in a freshly prepared developer solution at 20°c has been studied through the measurement of concentration changes by a spectrophotometric method. the concentration of consumed hydroquinone is directly proportional to time, and the equation til2 = c, / 0.0786 was obtained to calculate the half-life of the developer. in this equation, the half-life is in hour...

Green nanotechnology with the goal of producing sustainable nanomaterials in an eco-friendly approach is becoming an increasing necessity for nanomanufacturing industries. In this regards, biosynthesis is well adopted as a viable method for producing benign nanoparticles for biomedical application. The present study aimed at optimization and study of the effects of external stimuli pH and gold ...

In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized  using the fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus. The effects of three independent variables including glucose content of culture media, initial pH and initial spore concentration on biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles were investigated. These variables affect cell morphology, cell mass, size and morphology of silver nanoparticles and degree of silv...

In this study, effects of solid concentration, temperature, and initial Fe2+ concentration on bioleaching of sulfide mineral (chalcopyrite) obtained from Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine in the region of Kerman located in the south of Iran were investigated. A mesophilic iron oxidizing bacterium, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has been isolated from a typical chalcopyrite copper concentra...

Textile dyeing is considered to be one of the major industrial sources of high rates of organic and aromatic compounds. Conversely, these compounds have become a significant environmental problem. Many methods have been investigated for color removal from dye-containing wastewater. In this research, the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (EC) process with aluminum electrodes in the removal of...

In the present study, the effects of four factors including initial sulfide concentration (mg l-1 ), agitation speed (rpm), amount of inoculums (%) and sodium concentration (mg l-1) on removal efficiency (%R) and yield of sulfate production by Thioalkalivibrio versutus from synthetic spent caustic were investigated. For this purpose, experiments are designed by design of experiments (DOE) and R...
