Background & objectives: The import of heavy metals into various sources of drinking water supply is one of the major problems of water quality, especially in industrial areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of mercury and arsenic metal pollutants to be removed from aqueous solutions using green oxide nanoparticles synthesized by green method. For this purpose, the extract...

introduction             wastewater treatment using activated sludge process (asp) produces huge amounts of sludge that must be treated by efficient methods. wastewater sludge handling is one of the most important economic-technical challenges of wastewater treatment projects. conventional methods for this purpose are very time consuming, expensive and in lots of cases have limited success. in ...

Synthesis and utilization of a simple copper on iron catalyst in the coupling of aryl halides with thiols through disulfide intermediate is reported. The iron support of copper catalyst ensures reductive media for the coupling, allows easy removal of the metals by outer magnetic field and enables the recycling of the catalyst.

Ground water is highly important source of drinking water in Egypt. Some provinces suffer from high content of iron and manganese in ground water which threat human health. Different processes, such as electrochemical (EC), photo (UV), and combined photo-electrochemical (CPE) methods were used to attain both metals content to the level in accordance to reports of World Health Organization (WHO)...

This work describes the synthesis and testing of a novel environmental sorbent that combines the advantages of biochar, chitosan, and zerovalent iron (ZVI). Chitosan was used as a dispersing and soldering reagent to attach fine ZVI particles onto bamboo biochar surfaces. Characterization of the resulted ZVI-biochar composites (BBCF) indicated that chitosan effectively soldered the iron particle...
