Phosphorous Removal Using Synthesized Copper and Zinc Containing Hydrotalcite Compounds.

Removal of Copper and Zinc from Wastewater Using Chitosan

Removal of Emulsified and Dissolved Traces of Organic Compounds from Industrial Wastewaters Using Natural and Synthesized (NaA and NaM) Zeolites

The main object of this study was to compare the natural and synthetic( NaA and NaM) zeolites as absorbents in removing emulsified and dissolved traces of organic compounds, which appear in the wastewater of  power plants, refinery and petrochemical complexes.  The specific objectives of the work was: a) to select the best species that have the highest amount of absorption; b) to measure th...

Water quality improvement through bioretention: lead, copper, and zinc removal.

Intensive automobile use, weathering of building materials, and atmospheric deposition contribute lead, copper, zinc, and other heavy metals to urban and roadway runoff. Bioretention is a low-impact-development best management practice that has the potential to improve stormwater quality from developed areas. The practice represents a soil, sand, organic matter, and vegetation-based storage and...

Furin inhibition by compounds of copper and zinc.

Furin, a human subtilisin-related proprotein convertase (SPC), is emerging as an important pharmaceutical target because it processes vital proteins of many aggressive pathogens. Furin inhibitors reported as yet are peptide derivatives and proteins, with the exception of andrographolides, which are natural compounds. Here we report that the small and highly stable compounds M(chelate)Cl(2) (M i...

Anion-exchange Properties of Hydrotalcite-like Compounds

-Ion-exchange isotherms between hydrotalcite-like compounds (HT) of the NO3-, CI-, and SO4forms and F , 0% Br , I , OH-, SO42-, CO3 z-, and Naphthol Yellow S (NYS 2-) ions were determined, and the spacing and the width of the 003 reflection were measured as a function of HT composition. The ion-exchange equilibrium constant for HTs of monovalent anions are in the sequence OH> F > Cl > Br> NO3> ...
