(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Electrospinning technique was employed to fabricate composite nanofibers/nanoparticles of sulfonated polyether ether ketone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and ruthenium oxide (sPEEK/PVP/RuO2). The samples were synthesized with ...
Isolation of bacterial strains from compost teas and screening of their PGPR properties on potato plants
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with plant growth-promoting effect. PGPR are considered as ...
Box-Behnken approach for optimization of Cr(III) removal from a real tanning effluent using powdered marble
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
During the tanning step, 30-40% of trivalent chromium remains in the solid and liquid wastes, generating highly polluted sewage. In this study, powdered marble was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove trivalent chromium ...
Water resources assessment of zayandeh-rood river basin using integrated surface water and groundwater footprints and K-means clustering method
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
The lack of an integrated approach to assess the quantity and quality of surface water and groundwater resources undesirably affects their sustainability and errors in users' decisions in the optimal development of basins. ...
