Background and objectives: Zerovalent iron nanoparticles (ZVIN) had high potential for nitrate removal from aqueous solutions due to high surface area and reactivity of them. The aim of this study was nitrate removal from aqueous solutions using environmentally friendly stabilized ZVIN. Methods: ZVIN were synthesized via chemical reduction by sodium borohydride. In order to preventing of ZVIN f...

Introduction: Nowadays, owing to industrial activities heavy metals alongside chemical and physical pollutants are discharged to the environment resulting in extensive pollution of water bodies. Thus, simultaneous reduction of hexa-valent chromium and nitrate using granular zero-valent magnesium was studied. Methods: The current experimental study was conducted in 250 ml erlens on a shaker a...

in the present work, a simple and sensitive method was developed for determination of morphine and heroin using gold nanoparticles as resonance rayleigh scattering (rrs) and colorimetric technique’s probe. synthesized gold nanoparticles by sodium citrate reduction method have a negative charge layer on their surfaces because of self-assembled citrate anions on their surface. binding of morphin...

in this thesis, barium ferrite nano particles were prepared by sol-gel method. their structural and magnetic properties of samples have been investigated using thermo gravimetric analysis (tg-dta), x-ray powder diffractometer (xrd), fourier transform infrared (ftir), scanning electron microscopy (sem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), ac susceptometer, vibrating sample magne...

rivers and runoff have always been of interest to human beings. in order to make use of the proper water resources, human societies, industrial and agricultural centers, etc. have usually been established near rivers. as the time goes on, these societies developed, and therefore water resources were extracted more and more. consequently, conditions of water quality of the rivers experienced rap...

abstract objectives gradual increase length and complexity of utterance (gilcu) therapy method is a form of operant conditioning. this type of treatment is very precise and controlled that is done in 54 steps in 3 speech situations consisted of monologue, reading and conversation. this study aimed to examine the effects of gilcu treatment method on reduction of speech dysfluency of school-age...

Leafy vegetables play a crucial role in human dietary. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer leads to accumulation of high levels of nitrate in the tissues and causes further consequence. In order to evaluate the impact of zinc and harvest times on the reduction of nitrate accumulation and nitrate reductase activity, an experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with factor...
