Domestic water wells are routinely subjected to in situ chemical disinfection treatments to control nuisance or pathogenic bacteria. Most treatments are chlorine based and presumably cause strongly oxidizing conditions in the wellbore. Water resource managers in Wisconsin were concerned that such treatments might facilitate release of arsenic from sulfide minerals disseminated within a confined...

Determination of pesticide levels in natural water bodies requires complex chemical methods not always available in tropical countries where such control programmes are implemented. Apart from chemical methods, effectiveness of treatment can be estimated by mortality of target and non-target species. But the latter criteria do not permit a good appraisal of dispersion and residual activity of p...

in this study, the morphological and chemical properties of carob pods and carob beans as well as the effect of different extraction, and purification methods on the physical and chemical properties of the purified gums have been investigated. in order to dehusk carob beans, boiling water as well as acidic methods were used. the endosperm powder was prepared and the effect of endosperm powder c...

Water and life are closely linked. This has been recognized throughout history by civilizations and religions and is still the case with scientists today. Water properties are found to be very effected by magnetic and electric field. The aim of this work was to study to what extend magnetic treated water can enhance the chelation rate in cases of heavy metal ions intoxications. Thirty New Zeala...

background: this study aimed to evaluate the pollution levels of surface water with heavy metals including pb, cd and cr in gheshlagh river, western iran. methods: water and sediment were sampled in five monitoring stations with three replicates in time along the river. the concentration of cr, pb and cd in both water and sediment samples were measured with graphite furnace atomic absorption sp...

background: among different pollutants released into the environment, dyes are considered as one of the most dangerous contaminants. in recent years, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted much attention for their dye removal capacity. the aim of this study was to explore the adsorption kinetics of an anionic dye (reactive orange 13 (ro)) by nife2o4 nanoparticles (nife2o4 nps) under various cond...

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...

Studies were conducted to investigate the survival and multiplication of Legionella spp. in public drinking water supplies. An attempt was made, over a period of several years, to isolate legionellae from a municipal system. Sampling sites included the river water supply, treatment plant, finished water reservoir system, mains, and distribution taps. Despite the use of several isolation techniq...

Aims of the Study: The physical, chemical and biological characteristics of Karaj River (near the city of Tehran, Iran), has been studied to evaluate the suitability of its water for domestic uses. Materials & Methods: Samples of water were collected from various localities before, in and after Karaj Dam Lake and were analyzed based on needs for Water Q...
