phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant and microorganisms growth, thus has an important role in creating eutrophication of surface waters. the present study has investigated poly aluminum chloride efficiency on orthophosphate removal by coagulation and chemical precipitation process in municipal wastewater in west wastewater treatment plant. this bench scale study was performed on influe...

Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by the wet chemical precipitation method at 60 °C in the presence of biocompatible natural surfactant-lecithin. The composition and morphology of nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite synthesized with lecithin (nHAp-PC) was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning el...

we report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of la2o3-co3o4-zro2 nanostructure. the la2o3-co3o4-zro2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the co-precipitation. composite powders have been characterized by xrd (x-ray diffraction), sem (scanning electron microscopy) and bet (brunauer-emmett-teller). x-ray diffraction showed the formation of nano crystalline, l...

Accurate precipitation data at a high spatial resolution are essential for hydrological, meteorological, and ecological research at regional scales. This study presented a geostatistical downscaling-calibration procedure to derive the high spatial resolution maps of precipitation over a mountainous watershed affected by a monsoon climate. Based on the relationships between precipitation and oth...

â  abstract â  in this study by data of synoptic stations in karoon basin, the intensive showers with 1,2,6 and 9 hour duration have been extracted and the precipitation time regime has been evaluated by ranking method and non dimensional accumulation curve. in ranking method, first the showers of each time base have been divided to smaller periods and on this basis different periods of showers...

[1] Representing spatially varying precipitation for current grid length scales used in General Circulation Models (GCMs) is a continuing challenge. Furthermore, to fully capture the hydrologic effects of nonuniform precipitation, a representation of soil moisture heterogeneity and distribution of spatially varying precipitation must exist within the same framework. For this study, the explicit...

Climate change induced by anthropogenic warming of the earth's atmosphere is a daunting problem. This review examines one of the consequences of climate change that has only recently attracted attention: namely, the effects of climate change on the environmental distribution and toxicity of chemical pollutants. A review was undertaken of the scientific literature (original research articles, re...

We evaluated six precipitation methods for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-chol) determination: the heparin/Mn2+ precipitation reagent method (Hep), two variants of the phosphotungstic acid/Mg2+ method (Tung-L and Tung-B), the dextran sulfate 50,000/Mg2+ method (Dex), the PEG 6000 method (PEG), and the PEG 6000/dextran sulfate 15,000 (PEG/Dex) method. The Tung-B and PEG/Dex precipitat...
