This study, based on circular economy principles and sustainable development practices, aims to present the results of soil samples analysis after their mixture with a biobed bio-mixture straw, compost, used for two consecutive years as organic bio-filter olive oil mill wastewater. So far, exhausted bio-mixtures in biobeds minimize pesticide point-source contamination turned out contain residue...

Various types of sodium and potassium titanate nanostructures (nanotubes, nanofibers, nanoribbons, nanwires) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM and TEM, as well BET and BJH methods. Adsorption of radiotracer 137Cs+ ions from aqueous solutions on synthesized titanate nanostructures was investigated in batch technique as a function of contact time, concentration of sodiu...

Titania (TiO2) and sodium titanate nanostructures with controllable phases and morphologies were synthesized by a hydrothermal method with titanium disulfide (TiS2) as the starting material. Sodium titanate nanobelts could be synthesized under a relatively low alkaline concentration (1 mol L(-1) NaOH) and short duration (6 h). At 3 mol L(-1) HCl, rutile TiO2 nanorods were synthesized. Anatase T...

Assessing water quality is crucial for improving global resource management, particularly in arid regions. This study aims to assess and monitor the status of groundwater based on hydrochemical parameters by using artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. The irrigation index (IWQI) predicted support vector machine (SVM) k-nearest neighbors (KNN) classifiers Matlab’s classification learner toolb...

a Titania (TiO 2) and sodium titanate nanostructures with controllable phases and morphologies were synthesized by hydrothermal method with titanium disulfide (TiS 2) as the starting material. Sodium 5 titanate nanobelts could be synthesized under a relatively low alkaline concentration (1 mol L-1 NaOH) and short duration (6 hours). At 3 mol L-1 HCl, rutile TiO 2 nanorods were synthesized.

1. Sixteen first-calf Friesian heifers were used in a continous treatment design experiment. For 2 weeks after calving they were given a 750 g concentrate, 250 g hay/kg ration with 169 g crude protein (nitrogen X 6.25; CP)/kg dry matter (DM). They were then divided into two groups of eight and given a high-protein (223 g CP/kg DM) or low-protein (107 g CP/kg DM) ration at the rate of 10.8 kg co...

We report on a facile and rapid microwave-assisted method for preparing a sodium-cadmium metal-organic framework (having coordinatively unsaturated sodium ions) that considerably shortens the conventional synthesis time from 5 days to 1 hour. The obtained (Na,Cd)-MOF showed an excellent volumetric CO2 adsorption capacity (5.2 mmol cm(-3) at 298 K and 1 bar) and better CO2 adsorption properties ...

the main factor affecting the economics of foam-assisted water alternative gas (fawag) process isthe loss of foaming agent by adsorption onto reservoir rocks. in this study, the effects of phases,surfactant concentration, salinity, adsorbents, and sacrificial agent on adsorption density wereinvestigated by special adsorption experiments. moreover, a series of fawag tests were performedto examin...

The (13)C- and (1)H- NMR spectra of isopropyl N-dodecanoylsarcosinate (SLIP) were measured in CDCl(3), CD(3)OD and in sodium dodecanoylsarcosinate (Sar) aqueous solution. The existence of both cis and trans isomeric forms are observed for SLIP just as for Sar. The trans/cis ratio of SLIP in a dilute CDCl(3) solution is over 3.2, which is indicating that SLIP-trans conformation is more stable in...

With a mean precipitation rate, much lower than that of the world, Iran is among the countries that face severe water challenges. The present study has dealt with the evaluation of hydrochemistry of Faryab spring water in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Four different composite water samples have been analyzed to detect major anions, cations, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, and s...
