Denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (Mg, Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2·4H2O with several layers for bacterial immobilization. The goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...

background: the purpose of the present study was to assess the efficiency of ultrasound/hydrogen peroxide processes and ultrasound/hydrogen peroxide/zno nanoparticles in the removal of blue cat 41 dye from aqueous solutions. methods: zno nanoparticles were prepared using the hydrothermal method. variables including ph, concentration of zno nanoparticles, initial dye concentration, concentration...

background textile dyes are the largest organic compounds associated with some problems for the environment. advanced oxidation process is the most effective method for dye removal from wastewater. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the photo fenton process for decolorization of direct red 81 (dr 81) dye, and to determine the optimal process conditions. method...

this paper presents the development of a model for evaluating adsorbable organic halogens’(aox) removal efficiency during wastewater treatment by using the micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (meuf)technique. surfactants can form larger aggregates (micelles) were prepared into which aoxs dissolve and arethen retained by the membrane. synthetic wastewater samples containing certain concentrations ...

background; the aim of this study is to compare uv, ferrate (vi) and uv/ferrate (vi) methods for removal of hydrogen sulfide and chemical oxygen demand (cod) from municipal wastewater under a continuous condition. methods; the experiment was divided into three parts: 1) pollutants removal by using ferrate (vi) alone; 2) pollutants removal using uv alone; 3) pollutants removal using a combinatio...

Introduction. Azithromycin is among the broad-spectrum antibiotics that is widely available in various environmental systems and could have destructive effects on the ecosystem and human health due to its bacterial resistance. In this study, removal of azithromycin from wastewater using an advanced oxidation process of ultraviolet light with and without persulfate was investigated and effective...

background and purpose:organic dyes with a complex structure are often toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, non-biodegradation and stable in the environment and if released to the environment without treatment can endanger the environment and human health. the aim was to evaluate the performance nanoscalezero-valent iron (nzvi) in the removal of dye acid red 18 (ar18) from aqueous solutions. materia...

Background:  The purpose of this study was to report the preoperative complaints and postoperative outcome of patients after removal of the radial head prosthesis.   Methods:  This is a retrospective review of 14 adult patients (6 females and 8 males) from 2007 to 2011, who underwent radial head prosthesis removal by three surgeons. The average time between implantation and removal was 23 month...

background & aims of the study: dyes are one of the widespread chemicals which may have many adverse effects on life cycle. thus, this study was conducted to survey the rb19 dye removal efficacy from aqueous solution, using the sio2 nanoparticles. materials and methods: this study was an experimental-lab study. the batch adsorption system were utilized to evaluated the rb19 dye removal efficien...
