ground water is the major source of drinking water in rural and semi-urban areas of assam. it contains an excessive amount of iron (1 to 10 mg/l). people living in rural and semi-urban areas of assam uses indigenous household iron filter units – developed using community prepared wooden charcoal (cpwc) and river sand (rs) as filter media. cpwc and rs processed and respectively termed as process...

background aromatic organic solvents are extensively used in various industries. xylene is a colorless, transparent liquid, with the characteristic odor of the aromatic hydrocarbons family, which is widely used in industries. adsorption is a conventional method of purifying polluted air containing volatile organic compounds (vocs). zeolite has many unique properties such as high capacity, molec...

Familiarity has been suggested to be crucial for recognizing objects instantly without conscious awareness. To investigate, researchers have employed continuous flash suppression (CFS), a phenomenon that suppresses stimulus presented one eye period by rapidly flickering images the other. Prior research discovered noticeable stimuli like faces and upright broke became perceivable faster. However...

Diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is a sensitizing chemical that can cause allergic contact dermatitis and asthma. Protective gloves and clothing are necessary to prevent skin exposure. Breakthrough times are used for the selection of chemical protective gloves and clothing. In the EN 374-3:2003 European standard, breakthrough time is defined as the time in which the permeation reaches the rat...

abstract: â in this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13x zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture co2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. the results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13x zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

background: the objective of this work was developing a simple and stable time-based on-line setup for assessing the potential of mercury (hg) vapor adsorption of the commercial sorbents used in air sampling and control operation followed by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (cvaas). methods: a special designed separation chamber was used where reduction of the injected hg (ii) solution...
