Using A Natural Material For Bacteria Concentration and Removal From Water

Lead pollution removal from water using a natural zeolite

Lead (II) ion adsorption capacity of clinoptilolite from artificial polluted tap water was investigate in this study. For the experimental studies, Clinoptilolite mineral which is 25-140 mesh size was used by activating with HCl, and lead ion removal efficiencies were examined. Experiments were studied under laboratory batch conditions were run at different pH values, temperatures. The highest ...

Removal of a Natural Toxin Surrogate from Water, Material Surfaces, and Reusable Medical Devices

Water and reusable medical device surfaces can be contaminated by natural toxins such as ricin either accidentally or intentionally. This report focuses on the removal of peanut lectin (PL), a ricin surrogate, from water and reusable medical devices and materials. An ELISA assay was used to determine if commercially available water filters could remove peanut lectin from water, and if commercia...

Sawdust as a natural and low cost adsorbent for the removal of brilliant cresyl blue dye from water samples

Sawdust which is the main waste from wood industry has been used as a raw material forremoval of Brilliant Cresyl Blue toxic dye. The effects of various parameters such as pH,electrolyte concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time and agitation rate were studied for theremoval of the dye in a concentration of 50 mg L-1. The optimum condition for the studiedparameters was applied for various con...

Nitrate Removal from Drinking Water using Organo-Silane Modified Natural Nano-Zeolite

Nitrate-containing compounds are considered as groundwater contaminants, the concentration of whichhas been growing in these resources during recent years. As a result, it seems necessary to use effectivemethods to remove nitrate from water and wastewater. Adsorption is generally considered moreeconomical in water treatment compared to other feasible a...
