The study was carried out to develop an efficient approach for prediction the genotoxicity of carbon nanotubes. The experimental data on the bacterial reverse mutation test (TA100) on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) ...

The studies report the synthesis of novel graft copolymer of oatmeal. Polymethyl methacrylate grafting was carried out on oatmeal backbone via ‘microwave assisted' approach. The graft copolymers were optimized by varying ...

River water is not only an indispensable source for irrigation but also plays a vital role for drinking water supply for most of the urban municipalities. Water from rivers is pumped at specific sites and after treatment ...

This study investigated the cytochemical responses in Hediste diversicolor exposed to the environmental concentrations of cadmium (1µM Cd), copper (1µM Cu) and to their equimolar mixture for 48h. Lysosomal membrane stability ...

In this study, removal of methylene blue (MB) and maxilon blue SL 200% (MB SL) dyes from aqueous solutions by using raw clay (RC) of Nevsehir (Turkey) vicinity and ultrasonic-acid modified clay (MC) was investigated. ...

The objective of this work focuses on the use of a new natural lignocellulosic material based on palm stems for adsorbing of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in water. The palm stems powder (PSP) was characterized using different ...

This study was carried out as a factorial experiment with 5 levels of cadmium (Cd) (o, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg), 5 levels of salinity (Control, 4, 5, 6, and 7 dS/m), and two soil textures (sandy loam and clay loam). The ...

The Vigna Subterranean (L.) Verdc hull's (VSVH) potential to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated. The biosorbent was characterised by FTIR, SEM-EDX and XRF before and after exposure to Cr(VI). The ...

Wastewater contains a variety of chemical substances owing to the different sources that contribute to affluent into sewage treatment plants. Raw and wastewater samples were obtained from the surface of the water bodies ...

Tehran city has been subject of critical environmental challenges during the course of 20th. century namely: massive population growth, broad expansion, reduction in urban open/green spaces, increasing in energy consumption ...

Purification of drinking and industrial water required usage of high molecular weight polymer to cause flocculation process of dispersed suspension of contaminants. Polyelectrolytes, including ionic polyacrylamide are ...

The study applied an isolated Brevibacterium sp. (MTCC 10313) for bioremediation of Zn, Cu, Mg and Pb in domestic sewage. Batch culture experiments were performed on both the fresh and stale sewage samples with glucose ...

Water quality prediction is a valuable tool for pollutant control in aquatic environments. A river system is selected and one-dimensional flow is assumed for the simulation of pollutant transport in this paper. Advective ...

Several studies suggest that invertebrate abundance and richness are disrupted and reset at confluences. Thus, junctions contribute disproportionately to the overall aquatic biodiversity of the river. In general terms, ...

Global greenhouse gas emissions from 2000 to 2010 has grown more quickly (2.2%/yr) than in the previous three decades (1.3%/yr). China accounts for approximately 23% of global CO2 emissions and the household sector is ...

An approach to recycle precious metals of cathode materials from spent lithium cobalt oxide batteries by using organic citric acid and hydrogen peroxide has been studied in this paper. The effects of molar ratio, solid-liquid ...

Road network (RN) can affect patterns and distribution of land uses and covers. Road network expansion has both direct and indirect impacts on land uses and covers changes. Agricultural land conversions (ALCs) are especially ...
