Chitosan/lignosulfonate nanospheres as "green" biocide for controlling the microbiologically influenced corrosion of carbon steel
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)In this work, uniform cross-linked chitosan/lignosulfonate (CS/LS) nanospheres with an average diameter of 150-200 nm have been successfully used as a novel, environmentally friendly biocide for the inhibition of mixed ... -
Controlling the biocorrosion of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on carbon steel using ZnO/chitosan nanocomposite as an eco-friendly biocide
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)In this report, interlinked chitosan-ZnO nanocomposite at 10% ZnO (CZNC-10) is successfully used as green biocide for biofilm control and reduction of biocorrosion on carbon steel material. It was found that 250 g/mL CZNC-10 ... -
Cyanomatrix and Cyanofilm
( OMICS International , 2015 , Article)Cyanobacteria are diverse in their habitats, structure, and metabolism that can grow as unicellular or long filaments and secreting high molecular mass polymers (extracellular polymer substances, EPS), which can either be ... -
Improving the Performance of Attached-Growth Wastewater Treatment Processes by Altering the Support Media Surface
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Article)This study investigated the impact of altering the surface characteristics of support media used in attached-growth processes on the performance of biological wastewater treatment. The surface alteration was achieved through ... -
Vertical and seasonal variations in biofilm formation on plastic substrates in coastal waters of the Black Sea
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Plastic contamination of the marine environment is an increasing concern worldwide. Therefore, it is important to understand the kinetics of biofilms on plastics to study their behavior, fate, and transport pathways in the ...
