Petroleum-derived contamination events constitute a unique environmental issue in the arid areas because of the weathering processes, accentuated due to harsh conditions and representing the main origin of failure of ...
Enhancement of flocculation and shear resistivity of bentonite suspension using a hybrid system of organic coagulants and anionic polyelectrolytes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, the influence of the hybrid coagulation-flocculation system on the flocculation and shear resistivity of bentonite suspension has been investigated. Two short-chained coagulants, polyamine and polyDADMAC, ...
Lead (Pb) bioaccumulation and antioxidative responses in Tetraena qataranse
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
Lead (Pb) is the second most toxic metal on Earth and is toxic to humans and other living things. In plants, Pb commonly inhibits growth when it is at a concentration in the soil of 30�mg/kg or more but several Pb tolerant ...
Effective removal of phenol from wastewater using a hybrid process of graphene oxide adsorption and UV-irradiation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
The focus of this work is the removal of phenol from water by graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles, prepared by two different methods, through a hybrid adsorption?UV-irradiation process. The GO1 and GO2 were prepared using ...
Utilization of nano-olive stones in environmental remediation of methylene blue from water 03 Chemical Sciences 0306 Physical Chemistry (incl. Structural)
(
Springer
