The removal of disulfide oil (DSO) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. The bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. The effects of humidity, time and DSO concentration in soil was studied. The experimental results for the bioremediation of DSO show, the removal...

The atrazine behaviour in soils when submitted to an electric field was studied and the applicability of the electrokinetic process in atrazine soil remediation was evaluated. Two polluted soils were used, respectively with and without atrazine residues, being the last one spiked. Four electrokinetic experiments were carried out at a laboratory scale. Determination of atrazine residues were per...

An enhanced electrokinetic process for removal of metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) from an industrial wastewater sludge was performed. The electrokinetic experiments were conducted under a constant potential gradient (1.25 V cm(-1)) with processing fluids of tap water (TW), sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and citric acid (CA) for 5 days. Results showed that metal removal efficiency of heavy metals f...

The popularity of micro-Total Analysis Systems (μ-TAS) is exponentially increasing, especially in the fields of medical and biological analyses. The work presented here includes 2-D separation of proteins in PMMA-based microchips. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-CGE) and Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography (MEKC) were used as the separation scheme for the first and ...

The analysis of corticosterone in mouse blood serum (metabolic-stress experiment) and 17-hydroxycorticosterone in human urine (exercise-stress experiment) samples by means of capillary electrophoresis/UV absorbance in conjunction with online sample concentration techniques is described. The use of normal MEKC had an analyte detection limit of 7 microg/ml (S/N=3); whereas when online sample conc...

hexavalent chromium is mobile and hazardous in the environment. electrokinetic remediationof chromium (iv)-contaminated soils is intended either to remove or to reduce cr (vi) to cr (iii). this studyexamines the effectiveness of utilizing edta and acetic acid solutions as alternative electrolytes in theelectrokinetic (ek) process, with coupled nano-scale zero-valent iron (nzvi) as a barrier for...
