Methylene Blue (MB) adsorption from aqueous phase was investigated using three types of adsorbents. Granular solid adsorbents were prepared from waste wood fly ash and clay. Experiments were conducted in a batch system for determining sorption equilibria. For continuous process, the adsorbents were packed in a column to remove MB from the synthetic wastewater. The fabricated adsorbents and also...

Trapa japonica shell contains phenolic compounds such as tannins. Studies regarding the antioxidant and anti-adipogenic effects of Trapa japonica shell cultivated in Korea are still unclear. Antioxidant and anti-adipogenic activities were measured by in vitro assays such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azinobis( 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (...

The mechanical and physical characteristics have great impact on the shell shucking of walnut. Taking the shucking force as the evaluation indicator, the effects of mechanical and physical characteristics, which include the loading orientation, loading rate, moisture content and walnut partical size, on walnut shucking were investigated by means of single factor test. The results show that: 1) ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of walnut tree root (Juglandaceae) on Escherichia coli is resistant to various antibiotics. Walnut tree root extract was obtained using a rotary device. 20 cases of E. coli was obtained from urinary tract infections Zabul hospital and MIC and MBC were determined using dilution in the wells. The results of the study showed that the concentrations ...

In the present study, comparative batch adsorption of basic dye namely Crystal Violet (CV) using the almond shell as an adsorbent in untreated form and activated with sodium hydroxide was carried out in search of optimum adsorption conditions. The operation parameters investigated was contact time (10 to 80 min), initial dye concentrations (40-240 mg/L), temperature, (20-5...

The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle and graphene oxide (GO) have  become interesting materials due to their advanced applications. In this work, we investigated the fabrication of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) from iron sands and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) NPs from natural graphite. The core-shell fabrication of the Fe3O4/rGO was co...

Current work employs dye extracted from leaves of Costus woodsonii as a new sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The leave was in three different solvents namely ethanol, methanol, and acetone. Extraction carried out by the freezing method. DSSCs with configuration TiO2/dye/electrolyte/Pt were assembled. dyes DSSC methanol extract has an efficiency 0.23 % short-circuit current den...
