the aim of this study was to determine the extent of metal pollutions and the identification of their major sources in the vicinity of the sangan iron mine occurring in ne iran. soil samples were collected from the vicinity of the mine site and analyzed for heavy metals. in addition, the chemical speciation of these metals was investigated by means of the sequential extraction procedure. the st...

the effect of temperature on the adsorption of heavy metals on not only natural bulk clay, but also for the individual phases that composed the bulk clay sample, was investigated. combined adsorption- sequential extraction analysis (casa) for pb, cu, zn and cd were conducted under various temperatures that ranged from 150c to 550c. as a result, it was found that heavy metals adsorption for b...

this study was carried out to 1. determine spatial variations of heavy metal deposition in agricultural soils of two rural communities (ouledbouaicha and tazakourte) of about 5790 ha in a mining area near marrakech city in morocco; 2. to assess the extent of metallic pollution generated by the mining activity and; 3. to identify the key mechanism responsible for this contamination and its relat...

biomedical datasets usually include a large number of features relative to the number of samples. however, some data dimensions may be less relevant or even irrelevant to the output class. selection of an optimal subset of features is critical, not only to reduce the processing cost but also to improve the classification results. to this end, this paper presents a hybrid method of filter and wr...
