Mine drainage waters vary considerably in the range and concentration of heavy metals they contain. Besides iron, manganese is frequently present at elevated concentrations in waters draining both coal and metal mines. Passive treatment systems (aerobic wetlands and compost bioreactors) are designed to remove iron by biologically induced oxidation/precipitation. Manganese, however, is problemat...

Constructed Wetland (CW) is a reasonable method to treat wastewater. Current study was carried out to co-treat landfill leachate and domestic wastewater using a CW system. Typha domingensis was transplanted to CW, which encloses two substrate layers of adsorbents named ZELIAC and zeolite. Response surface methodology and central composite design were employed to evaluate experimental data. Cont...

an ultra-glide twin screw extruder is employed to allow the quick and easy removal of the screws from the fixed processing section within few seconds, probing the current degree of the melting state, the dispersive anddistributive processing steps and finally the level of morphology development along extruder screws. for morphological studies the molten samples, collected from different points ...

background; the aim of this study is to compare uv, ferrate (vi) and uv/ferrate (vi) methods for removal of hydrogen sulfide and chemical oxygen demand (cod) from municipal wastewater under a continuous condition. methods; the experiment was divided into three parts: 1) pollutants removal by using ferrate (vi) alone; 2) pollutants removal using uv alone; 3) pollutants removal using a combinatio...

abstract heavy metals uptake and their distribution in plants are different. in addition to the genetic factors, environmental factors such as interactions of heavy metals with essential elements are very important on the amount of heavy metals uptake. in this study, the effects of iron and manganese on accumulation of cadmium in shoot and root of sunflower and corn in different concentration o...

The occurrence of a range of recalcitrant organic micropollutants in our aquatic environment has led to the development of various tertiary wastewater treatment methods. In this study, biogenic manganese oxides (Bio-MnOx), biogenic silver nanoparticles (Bio-Ag(0)) and ionic silver were used for the oxidative removal of the frequently encountered drug diclofenac and its dechlorinated form, 2-ani...
