Removal of Toxic Cr(VI) Ions from Water Sample a Novel Magnetic Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite

This work describes the synthesis of a novel magnetic graphene oxide composite for removal of Cr(VI) ions. The synthesized nanosorbent were characterized with various techniques such as FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). This material is illustrated to represent a viable sorbent for the removal of Cr(VI...

Effective Removal of Heavy Metal Ions Zn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Cr3+ from Aqueous Solution by Synthetic Superabsorbent Polymer

Heavy  metal  pollution  is  propagating  throughout  the  world  with  the  enlargement  of  industrial activities.  The  elimination  of  heavy  metal  ions  from  industrial  wastewaters  has  drawn  much attention  because  of  the  hazardous  effects  of  the  heavy  metal  ions  on  different  organisms. According to these facts, poly (2, 2, 3, 3- tetracyanocyclopropyl) phenyl acryl...

Endocrine Disrupters and Flavonoid Signalling

Like other stifftail ducks, lake ducks are promiscuous and boisterous in their sexual activity. One explanation for the evolution of such a long penis might be selection for its competitive advantage — for instance, groups of drakes might display their everted penises to attract females. Success in sperm competition may also be a factor. The base of the lake-duck penis is covered with spines, y...

Endocrine disrupters as obesogens.

The recent dramatic rise in obesity rates is an alarming global health trend that consumes an ever increasing portion of health care budgets in Western countries. The root cause of obesity is thought to be a prolonged positive energy balance. Hence, the major focus of preventative programs for obesity has been to target overeating and inadequate physical exercise. Recent research implicates env...
