[ 1 ] - Removal of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) from Oil-Polluted Soil in Iran

Phytoremediation is an emerging environmental-friendly technology that can be a promising solution to remediate oil-polluted soils. The impact of high amount of hydrocarbons on growth characteristics of burningbushand common flax was evaluated in this survey. The influence of organic fertilizers was also assessed on growth of plant species in oil...

[ 2 ] - The Comparison of Silica Gel-Alumina Sorbents for Separation of PAHs and PCBs

The aim of this research is to develop a silica gel and alumina column chromatography for separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into two groups. This is achieved by optimizing the cut-off volume of eluting solvent and weight ratio of silica gel and alumina. In this process mixture of PAHs and PCBs divide in two groups and simultaneously o...

[ 3 ] - Cadmium, Nickel and Vanadium Accumulation by Three Strains of Marine Bacteria

Three marine bacteria, Pseudomonas putida PTCC 1664, Bacillus cereus PTTC 1665 and Pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes PTCC 1666 isolated from the East Anzali wetland sediments of the Caspian Sea, were resistant to heavy metals of Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni) and Vanadium (V). Pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes PTCC 1666 was found to be resistant to all 3 metals Ni, Cd, V. Heavy metal uptake was determined ...

[ 4 ] - Stabilization of Filter Cake and its Leaching Behaviour: A Case Study with Cementitious and Soluble Phosphate Additives

Filter cake is one of the main waste products of zinc processing industries and it contains a high amount of toxic heavy metals. In this research in order to reduce heavy metals leachability in filter cake, Portland cement, natural pozzolan, diammonium phosphate (DAP), triple superphosphate (TSP), lime, zinc oxide and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have been used. This research’s ...
