Emerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle slurry. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of chemical amendment of slurry to reduce incidental losses of P and suspended sediment (SS) from grassland follow...

Use of underarm aluminium (Al)-based antiperspirant salts may be a contributory factor in breast cancer development. At the 10th Keele meeting, Al was reported to cause anchorage-independent growth and double strand DNA breaks in MCF10A immortalised non-transformed human breast epithelial cells. We now report that exposure of MCF10A cells to Al chloride or Al chlorohydrate also compromised DNA ...

A physicochemical treatment (coagulation-flocculation) was applied to a slaughterhouse wastewater, using anionic polyacrylamide as coagulant aid to improve the settling velocity of the flocs formed with the coagulants used: ferric sulphate, aluminium sulphate and polyaluminium chloride. The optimum speed and stirring time for the flocculation stage were ascertained along with the optimum pH and...

The main aim of the study was to evaluate the various minerall and heavy metals parameters of seaweeds present in the south coastal line. The five red seaweeds namely Acanthophora deliei, Scinaia furcellata, Porphyra tenera, Gracilaria verucosa and Hypnea species were collected from the Pamban, South east coast India. These samples were analyzed for its mineral contents such as sodium, potassiu...

BACKGROUND Blood presence in apical surgery can prevent the correct vision of the surgical field, change the physical properties of filling materials and reduce their sealing ability. OBJECTIVES To describe which are the most effective and safest haemostatic agents to control bleeding in patients undergoing apical surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We carried out a systematic review, using Medli...

The work contains the results of analysis technical literature and author’s research on use aluminium slags products their processing in metallurgical production. It has been shown that bulk reagents derived from secondary aluminum production wastes (APWs) are used with increased sodium potassium chloride. This creates some inconvenience for out‑of‑furnace steel treatment due to chloride conten...

Photo-degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous solution was use as a probe to assess the photocatalytic activity Gadolinium oxide (Gd2 O3 ) nanoparticles suspension under UV irradiation. The were prepared by polyol method using gadolinium chloride hexahydrate Cl6 .6H2 O) and diethylene glycol (DEG) starting precursors. physico-chemical properties elaborated are analyzed X-ray diffraction (XR...

Produced water is the largest waste stream generated in oil and gas industries. The disposal of this hypersaline wastewaters containing a mixture of different organic and inorganic compounds is a relevant issue. In this study the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) from a real Produced Water, sampled at a full scale oil refinery plant, was optimized. Coagulation experiments were conducted s...
