BACKGROUND The Steno hypothesis states that changes in basement membrane anionic charge leads to diabetic microvascular complications. In diabetic nephropathy, loss of basement membrane glycosaminoglycans and the association between glomerular basement membrane heparan sulphate and proteinuria has been documented. A correlation between erythrocyte surface and the glomerular capillary wall charg...

Raw bentonite (RB), a known low-cost versatile clay was used as an adsorbent. RB was treated thermally and chemically to increase its adsorption capacity. For thermal treatment (TTB), the bentonite was heated at 400 °C for 60 min, and for the chemical modification, its surface was treated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to prepare organo-modified bentonite (CTAB-B). The removal of Cong...

Background & Aims of the Study: Dyes are one of the widespread chemicals which may have many adverse effects on life cycle. Thus, this study was conducted to survey the RB19 dye removal efficacy from aqueous solution, using the SiO2 nanoparticles. Materials and Methods: This study was an experimental-lab study. The batch adsorption system were utilized to evaluated the RB...

Methyl orange (MO) is a common anionic azo dye that serious harmful pollutant to the environmental aquatic systems, so it must be treated before can discharged. Photocatalysts are usually semiconducting solid oxides create an electron-hole pair by absorbing photons. These electron holes react with molecules on surface of particles. used in water purification, self-cleaning glasses, decompositio...

The valorization of algal biomass and bi-valve shells allows synthesizing, in the presence urea, a sorbent highly efficient for methylene blue (MB) sorption (sorption capacity: 1.5 mmol MB g?1 at pH 5.8). dye-functionalized shows enhanced properties Cr(VI) recovery 3. isotherm is fitted by Langmuir equation: maximum capacity reaches 8.53 Cr (for MB-loading: g?1). Different mechanisms may be inv...
