Trace organic compounds (TrOCs), mostly found in secondary effluents, have a potential impact on the environment, affecting surface water, groundwater, and especially aquatic ecosystems. The present study focuses on oxidation of five selected TrOCs in column experiments, by simulating Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) integrated with Fenton-like reaction, using Granular Ferric Hydroxide (GFH) as a c...

The ultrasound-assisted (UA) soybean oil methanolysis using KOH as a catalyst was studied at different reaction conditions in a microreactor. Box–Behnken experimental design, with three variables, was performed and the effects of three reaction variables i.e. reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and the methanol-to-oil molar ratio on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield were evaluated b...

this paper discusses the use of box behnken design (bbd) approach to plan the experiments for turning the yield of cvd, thickness and layer number of graphene sheets with an overall objective of optimizing the process to provide higher graphene production volume, fewer layers and thinness structure of graphene. bbd is having the maximum efficiency for an experiment involving four factors such a...

In this research, Graphene Oxide- Gold nanoparticles (AuNP/GO) were easily fabricated by a redox reaction between GO and chloroauric acid without using any additional reductant and then used to stabilize Pickering emulsions. (AuNP/GO) was investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy. The changes of parameters such as contact time, pH, Amoxicillin initial concentration and temperature were tested and inve...

aims: municipal landfill leachate contains high concentrations of heavy metals, organics, ammonia . t he efficeincy of electrochemically removal of heavy metals from landfill leachate was studied. materials & methods: the leachate was obtained from kahrizak landfill in south of tehran. the experiments were carried out by batch process. the 2liter batch reactor was made of glass. there were eigh...

the direct sulfation of three high purity iranian limestones and one precipitated calcium carbonate from different sources, containing more than 97 % caco3, were studied in a specially designed fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure, in the presence of excess co2 to prevent decomposition of caco3. experiments were carried out over a range of particle sizes from 1.6-2.5  mm at four tempera...

O-Anisidines (OAs) are extensively used as an intermediate for chemical reactions to produce various triphenylmethane and azo dyes, and also in manufacturing numerous pigments. They are found to be highly toxic and have carcinogenic properties, so it is imperative to treat OA solutions before disposal. In this study a promising approach to degrade OA solutions has been carried out using Fenton’...
