Wastewater Treatment with Chitosan Nano-particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chitosan interact with polyphosphate ions to form nanoparticles with different diameters depending on the mutual ratio among them. Three nanoparticles have been prepared and were characterized by spectral and X-ray diffraction tools. TEM analysis revealed there diameters. The nanoparticles were thoroughly studied for wastewater treatment such as the removal of Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and removal of six heavy metal cations (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) from wastewater. These investigations were carried out to minimize the cost and obtain the optimum performance in wastewater treatment. The result showed that the dosage of nanoparticles increases the % efficiency of wastewater treatment, and the smaller the size of the nano chitosan the higher is its activity.

Failure in early diagnosis and ineffective treatment are the major causes of ovarian cancer mortality. Hyaluronan and its receptor, cluster of differentiation (CD)44, have been considered to be valid targets for treating cancer. The anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody IM7 is effective in treating ovarian cancer; however, its toxicity should not be ignored. The present study has developed a new drug c...

Hence, special attention has shift towards using biodegradable polymer, chitosan in treatment, which are more environmental friendly. Moreove...
متن کاملThe effect of nanochitosans particles on Candida biofilm formation
Background and Purpose: In people wearing dentures, the growth of various Candida species under the prosthesis leads to the formation of biofilm, which can play the role of a reservoir for Candida and other kinds of microbes. Since nano-chitosan particles can cause lasting antimicrobial activity, a more recent approach that utilizes acrylic resins with nano-chitosan particles is proposed. Th...
