background contamination of water resources with nitrate is a serious environmental problem in many regions of the world. in addition, this problem has been observed in some regions of iran. as nitrate is threatening for human health and environment, it must be decreased to standard levels in drinking water. objectives the purpose of this research was to model the nitrate removal from water by ...

The stability of an emulsified liquid membrane composed of Span80 as a surfactant, D2EHPA as an extractant and sulfuric acid as an internal phase was first studied according to different diluents and many operating parameters using the Plackett-Burman design of experiments. Then the removal of methylene blue from an aqueous solution has been carried out using this emulsified liquid membrane at ...

BACKGROUND In this research, the removal of natural organic matter from aqueous solutions using advanced oxidation processes (UV/H2O2) was evaluated. Therefore, the response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design matrix were employed to design the experiments and to determine the optimal conditions. The effects of various parameters such as initial concentration of H2O2 (100-180 mg/L), pH (...
