-The distribution of toxic heavy metals was studied throughout the process of treatment of domestic wastewater by stabilization ponds. The concentrations and distribution of free and bound zinc, cadmium, lead and copper through the various stages of a treatment plant were analyzed by Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV). Only a slight decrease in the total metals concentration was observed during...

Speciation modeling is an essential tool to estimate the chemical composition of an aqueous sample and to assess the bioavailability and potential risks associated with metal contamination. It is also an indispensable alternative for quantifying the metal speciation when analytical techniques are not available. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of two models, WinHumicV and the Non-Idea...

The influence of the ligand/metal ion concentration ratio on the shape, peak current and peak potential of curves obtained by anodic stripping voltammetry (a.s.v.) at the hanging mercury drop electrode is described, particularly with respect to the use of a.s.v. for speciation of metal ions at very low concentrations as is often found in natural waters. The lead(II)/triethylenetetramine system ...

It is well known that lead and cadmium can be determined with good sensitivity using anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) and a mercury ®lm electrode. However, the mercury ®lm formation is poorly reproducible and cannot fully be removed electrochemically. We have evaluated procedures to improve the reproducibility and sensitivity of the ASV method and found that in the presence of thiocyanate the...

Microalgae are able to convert nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from wastewater into biomass and bio-products, thus improving the sustainability of wastewater treatment. In High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAP), biomass productivity and water treatment efficiency are highly dependent on environmental parameters such as temperature, light intensity and photoperiod. The influence of temperature and pho...

the purpose of this study is determining of some immunity and blood serum parameters in brood stock and grower fish before and after of stripping to evaluate the effect of breeding physiological changes on immunity and serum indexes. in this study 15 male trout fish (oncorhynchus mykiss) including 5 in the stage of grower, 5 before stripping and 5 after stripping randomly were considered. blood...

In the present study, the effect of successive milt collection was investigated on spermatological parameters and reproduction successes of wild and cultured endangered caspian brown trout. The milt collection was done 3 times with two weeks intervals. After milt collection, amount of milt was allocated for milt quality evaluation and reminders used for fertilization. According to results, in w...

Sequential injection system (SI system) was used for the pretreatment of a carbon electrode in an anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) for the determination of arsenic (III). In this research, a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was used; SPCE was prepared in our laboratory by us. In ASV, SPCE was chosen as a working electrode because SPCE is less expensive, easy to use for a flow cell and s...

Mononethanolamine (MEA)-based absorption-stripping for CO2 capture is studied. Energy demands in this process are dominated by the stripping column. The shortest stripping line distance approach is used to determine minimum energy requirements for the MEA stripping column under various lean loadings. Simultaneous reaction and vapor-liquid equilibrium is assumed and modeled by the direct incorpo...

Porous surface modified polyvinylidene ï‌‚uoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes are fabricated through a dry-wet phased inversion process. Surface modifying macromolecules (SMM) (1 wt. %) are used as additives in the spinning dope. The performance of the surface modified membrane in contactor application for CO2 stripping from water is assessed through the fabricated gas–liquid membrane contacto...
