nanoparticles of manganese-dioxide synthesized by mechano-chemical reaction were used foras(iii) and as(v) sorption from water environment. the influence of a milling time of manganese-dioxide on sorption was examined with batch procedure. sorption as a function of contact time was investigated. kinetic of sorption, for both as(iii) and as(v), was fast. the equilibrium condition for milled sorb...

Rates of biodegradation of sorbed chemicals are usually lower in soil than in aqueous systems, in part because sorption reduces the availability of the chemical to microorganisms. Biodegradation, sorption, and diffusion occur simultaneously and are tightly coupled. In soil, the rate of biodegradation is a function of a chemical's diffusion coefficient, sorption partition coefficient, the distan...

The organic-inorganic hybrid material of polyaniline/titanium(IV) (PANI/Ti(HPO4)2) was synthesized by an oxidative polymerization reaction. The PANI/Ti(HPO4)2 was applied to remove Re(VII). The size of Ti(HPO4)2 nanoplates has no obvious effect on the sorption capacity. The effects of various environmental factors (such as pH, extra anions (NO3(-) and MO4(2-)) and temperature) on Re(VII) sorpti...

the aim of this study was to investigate the congo red sorption on soil from the region of iasi (ne of romania). the effects of contact time, temperature, sorbent dose and initial dye concentration on soi sorption were investigated. the results show that the amount adsorbed of congo red on soil increase with increasing dye concentration, temperature and contact time. the experimental data were ...

abstract siderophores are of important factors influencing bioavailability and fate of heavy metals in the arid and semi-arid soils. they are low molecular weight organic ligands excreted by aerobic soil microorganisms and some plants roots to acquire fe. siderophores may also complex other metals such as pb .the main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dfob-siderophore on...

One- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were performed on Agave americana cutan and tomato cutin to examine the interactions between a hydrophobic pollutant, pyrene, and cuticular material. Variable-temperature NMR experiments show that cutan, an acid- and base-resistant cuticular biopolymer, undergoes the characteristic melting behavior of "polyethylene-like" crys...

factors that affect stability. The interaction of pharmaceutical solids with water can affect their chemical stability as well as their physical and mechanical properties. The influence of moisture on solid-state stability has therefore been extensively documented. It is important now to understand and to anticipate the behaviour of a product exposed to a variety of environmental conditions (e....

Phosphorus affects the sorption of many metals and arsenate to iron (hydr)oxides. This may influence the mobility and bioavailability of metals and arsenate in soil and water. Phosphorus therefore plays an important role in, e.g., determining the ecotoxicological risk of contaminants in soils. The overall aim of this thesis was to improve the understanding of lead(II), copper(II), cadmium(II) a...
