Effect of various washing process on the properties of indigo dyed four-way stretch denim fabric was studied in this research. The different washing techniques (Dark washenzymatic treatment, Medium washenzymatic treatment with pumice stone, Bleach washenzymatic treatment with bleaching powder and pumice stone, Acid Wash-Enzymatic treatment with potassium permanganate and pumice stone) were appl...

Microcystins (MCs) are among the most prevalent and potent of the cyanobacterial toxins (cyanotoxins) and their potential occurrence in waters required for drinking has prompted investigations into remedial water treatments for their removal. We have investigated the suitability of local pumice, as a possible low-cost material for environmental application for the removal of cyanotoxins. Adsorp...

Pumice and the Moringa oleifera (MO) seed were investigated as alternative natural materials for drinking water treatment based on problems identified at the Stretta Vaudetto water treatment plant in Eritrea. Lab and pilot scale studies showed that pumice was a suitable alternative material for dual media filtration. Conversion of the sand filters at Stretta Vaudetto to pumice-sand media would ...

The 2012 submarine eruption of Havre volcano in the Kermadec arc, New Zealand, is the largest deep-ocean eruption in history and one of very few recorded submarine eruptions involving rhyolite magma. It was recognized from a gigantic 400-km2 pumice raft seen in satellite imagery, but the complexity of this event was concealed beneath the sea surface. Mapping, observations, and sampling by subme...

To increase the applications of Natural Rubber Latex Modified Fiber Reinforced HighPerformance-Concrete (NRLMFRHPC) in India, greater understanding of NRLMFRHPC produced with locally available materials such as cement , Fine aggregates , coarse aggregates, Metakaolin and Crimped Steel fibers is essential. In the present investigation, NRLMFRHPC has been produced with locally available aggregate...

background: in recent years, proficient treatment of wastewaters containing recalcitrant and toxic compounds such as phenol has been a challenge. this study introduced and evaluated an efficient option for treating such wastewater . methods: this experimental study was performed on phenol removal as a recalcitrant and toxic compound in aqueous solutions in 2011. the pumice stone was collected f...

In this study, Remazol Yellow (RR) removal was investigated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized on pumice stone. For the immobilization process, a new technic was used and immobilization matrix HCl pretreated pumice stone was added to the growth medium of microorganism. pH, initial biosorbent (Co), and dye concentration (Cb) effect on biosorption were optimized thr...

background: the use of alternative disinfectants and the control of natural organic material are two approaches that are typically applied in water treatment utilities to reduce the formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products in recent years. catalytic ozonation as a new technology is used to promote the efficiency of the single ozonation processes. the purpose of this study was to invest...

BACKGROUND The objective was to perform a comparative analysis of the effect of acid etching on enamel roughness between pumiced and non-pumiced teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample was composed of 32 dental surfaces divided into two groups: Group 1-16 surfaces having received pumice prophylaxis; and Group 2-16 surfaces not having received pumice prophylaxis. The teeth were kept in saline ...
