introduction: cadmium is a heavy metal with high toxicity and is best known as a carcinogen element. for protecting human health and environment it is necessary to remove excess cadmium from industrial wastewater before discharging it to surface and ground water. in this study the efficiency of zinc oxides nanoparticles in cadmium removal from aqueous solution was evaluated. methods: this is a ...

in the present study, different activated carbons were prepared from carbonized african beech wood sawdust by potassium hydroxide activation. the activated carbons were characterized by brunauer–emmett–teller, scanning electron microscope, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyzer. the phenol adsorption capacity of the prepared carbons was evaluated. the different ...

The coarsening kinetics of c0 precipitates in binary Ni–Al alloy is studied using three-dimensional (3D) phase-field simulations. The bulk thermodynamic information and atomic diffusion mobilities are obtained from databases constructed using the CALPHAD approach, while the experimental values for the interfacial energy, elastic constants and lattice mismatch are directly employed in the phase-...

Some eight months ago I sent a brief note to' the I. M. G. on the treatment of Oriental sore by C0S snow which was based on a personal experience. Since that time the method has been in constant use in Lahore, and a large number of cases have been treated, on the results of which I now propose to offer some remarks. These observations are drawn from the records of 50 patients who attended the o...

We carry out a detailed orbit analysis of gravitational potentials selected at different times from an evolving self-consistent model galaxy consisting of a two-component disk (stars+gas) and a live halo. The results are compared with a pure stellar model, subject to nearly identical initial conditions, which are chosen as to make the models develop a large scale stellar bar. The bars are also ...

BACKGROUND Since organophosphorus pesticides are widely used for industry and insect control in agricultural crops, their fate in the environment is very important. Pesticide contamination of surface water has been recognized as a major contaminant in world because of their potential toxicity towards human and animals. The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of various p...

The interaction between the ions and the charge of membranes can affect the efficiency of pollutant removal. The present study investigated the removal efficiency of hexavalent chromium and nitrate ions from both actual and synthetic contaminated water via two different commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilters. In addition, the interaction of ions under different experimental conditions wa...

In this research new catalyst prepared by supporting ZnFe2O4 on Copper Slag (CS) and characterization of this catalyst was done by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image, Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, BET surface area, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. UV + H2O2 processes by ZnFe2O4...

The Taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow G by electrocoagulation (EC) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. An orthogonal array (OA9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...
