The purpose of this work was to study the effect of initial pH and yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae on biogas production from tofu wastewater (TW). The initial pH was varied in ranging of 5 – 9 in substrate without yeast (T5-T9) and with yeast (TY5-TY9). The results showed that optimum initial pH was 8. The maximum biogas was resulted in T8 (275 mL) and TY8 (421 mL). Yeast addition increased tota...

in the present work, the extraction of zinc from a sphalerite concentrate using sodium nitrate as an oxidant in a sulfuric acid solution was investigated. the effective parameters such as the temperature, sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite concentrations, stirring speed, particle size, and solid/liquid (s/l) ratio were analyzed. the dissolution rate increased with increase in the sulfuric acid an...

in this study, the potential of biosorbent obtained from silk maze, was investigated for the batch biosorption of direct red 81 (dr 81) in aqueous solution. the effects of temperature, biosorbent amount, contact time, initial dye concentration and ultrasonic irradiation were also evaluated. furthermore, experimental equilibrium and kinetics data were fitted by langmuir and freundlich isotherms ...

the aggregation of protein is the most prevalent and the most disturbing kind of instability and this challenge exists in almost every stage of the development of protein drug. the presence of insoluble aggregations in protein drugs will make the supply of the product a tough job. this study identifies the inhibition of the folded interferon beta 1-b’s aggregation with the assistance of some ex...

one of the popular and well known models in boundary layer that is implemented in most of the operational and familiar models is the mellor-yamada model of atmospheric boundary layer. one reason that this model is so popular is its ability in simulations and exposing of different phenomena in the boundary layer. this model has been constructed based on second order closure hypothesis. beside al...

In this study, removal of Acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) composite was studied. Properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by SEM, EDX and FTIR. Results show that Langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. Kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...

adsorption of cations al, zn, fe, cr and pb from aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide using ir-120 cation-exchange resin was studied. the removal percentage of the cations was examined by varying experimental conditions (such as ph of the hydrogen peroxide solution, temperature, contact time and dosage of adsorbent) in a stirred-batch system. under the optimal conditions (ph=1, t=25oc, contact...
