manganese is one of the significant raw materials for various industries and most difficult element to remove from water because of its high solubility. the treatment of mn (ii) contained wastewater is stringent for environmental preservations. in the present study adsorption of mn2+ on zero-valent iron nanoparticles synthesized by chemical reduction process and modified with phosphate coating ...

In this study, two different mixtures of municipal compost, limestone and zero-valent iron were assessed in two column experiments on acid rock treatment. The effluent solution was systematically analysed throughout the experiments and precipitates from both columns were withdrawn for scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry were analyzed. Resu...

Copper nanoparticles were prepared in chitosan (CHI) membranes via reduction of CuSO4.5H2O with sodium borohydride (BH). The fabrication process was performed in two steps: (1) first adsorbing Cu(II) ions in the CHI membranes, followed by (2) a chemical reduction of the Cu(II) ions to zero-valent copper (using BH). This study used SEM, DSC, and XRD to examine the morphological, thermal and chem...
