Nitrogen pollution of surface water is the main cause eutrophication, and considered a worldwide challenge in treatment. Currently, total nitrogen (TN) content effluent wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) still high at low winter temperatures, mainly as result incomplete removal nitrate (NO3?-N). In this research, novel aerobic denitrifier identified Pseudomonas sp. 41 was isolated from municip...

the purpose of this work was to test the efficiency of the treatment of wastewater by infiltrationunder laboratory conditions, to remove bacterial and organic load and to convert it to available nutrient for crop plants. in order to achieve this objective, polyvinyl chloride (pvc) columns of 133 cm of height were used. the columns were filled with sand and/or pozzolana and loaded with municipal...

Male ICR mice were orally administered samarium nitrate [Sm(NO3)3] to investigate its effects on sperm concentration and sperm quality. After acute exposure to ≥2880.00 mg/kg Sm(NO3)3 via intragastric gavage, sperm motility and acrosome integrity were decreased, and the sperm malformation percentage was increased (P < 0.05). After subchronic exposure to ≥500.00 mg/L Sm(NO3)3 administered via dr...

the present study investigated no3- and br- contamination in groundwater of arak aquifer of markazi province. correlation and factor analysis were used to detect interrelation and sources of concentration of no3- and br- ions and others physicochemical variables. no correlation was observed between no3- and others contents, but positive correlation was identified between br- with other major va...

In order to study the effect of nitrite and nitrate on the performance of microbial fuel cell, a system combining an anaerobic fluidized bed (AFB) and a microbial fuel cell (MFC) was employed for high-strength nitrogen-containing synthetic wastewater treatment. Before this study, the AFB-MFC had been used to treat high-strength organic wastewater for about one year in a continuous flow mode. Th...

This study was conducted to investigate organoclay prepared using montmorillonite clay with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and a long-chain organic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide for the removal of nitrate ion from aqueous solutions. Adsorbents were evaluated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR),...

Inefficient and non-environmentally friendly absorbent production can lead to much resource waste go against low carbon sustainable development. A novel efficient Mg-Fe-Ce (MFC) complex metal oxide of fluoride ion (F?) removal was proposed for safe, environmentally friendly, drinking water management. series optimization preparation processes the adsorbent batch experiments (e.g., effects solut...

Highly oxidizing nitrate radicals (NO3˙) are easily accessed from readily available nitrate salts by visible light photoredox catalysis using a purely organic dye as the catalyst and oxygen as the terminal oxidant. The interaction of the excited catalyst and nitrate anions was studied by spectroscopic methods to elucidate the mechanism, and the method was applied to the NO3˙ induced oxidation o...

background: increased impervious surfaces in urban areas not only increase runoff volume and peak flow, but also worsen urban storm water pollution. the polluted runoff has many adverse impacts on human life and environment. the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the efficiency of sand columns coated with nanoparticles of iron oxide in the presence and absence of a magnetic fi...
