background and aims: nowadays heavy metals are the environmental priority pollutants and are becoming as the most serious environmental problems. in recent years removing those from diverse industrial effluents and metal cleaning have been studied. the aim of the present study was to investigate the different methods for cooper removal of cooper ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this st...

comin the case of pharmaceutical processes, the presence of preservatives can be problematic and the quantity is subject to stringent standards. so, the aim of this study is to quantify the removal of glycerin contained in ultrafiltration flat sheet membranes by filtration and soaking. this is carried out over a wide range of membranes with different characteristics. the selected flat sheet mem...

conclusions according to the results, it can be concluded that the titanium catalyst doped with iron (fe+3-tio2) processes is an appropriate method for reducing atrazine in polluted water resources. results the results demonstrated that the atrazine removal rate increased by decreasing the initial atrazine concentration and the maximum rate of atrazine removal (41.72%) was at ph = 11, atrazine ...

conclusions briefly, the current study represents a novel method to eliminate temephos as an organophosphate compound from water samples with modified zero-valent iron nanoparticles. background temephos is an organophosphate pesticide used as larvicide in the environment. although not extremely hazardous, it can be risky for human health in the moderate concentrations. objectives this study inv...

BACKGROUND We developed a sensitive, specific method for the low-molecular-mass thiols cysteine, cysteinylglycine, glutathione, and homocysteine and validated the method for measurement of glutathione in blood. METHODS The technique was based on reversed-phase chromatography (RPC) coupled on line with cold vapor generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVGAFS). Thiols were derivatized bef...

The present and future air contamination by mercury is and will continue to be a serious risk for human health. This publication presents a review of the literature dealing with the issues related to air contamination by mercury and its transformations as well as its natural and anthropogenic emissions. The assessment of mercury emissions into the air poses serious methodological problems. It i...

background:  little is known about trends and predictors of hardware related infection following open reduction and internal fixation (orif) of extremity fractures, one of the major causes of failure following orif. the present study was designed and conducted to determine trends and predictors of infection-related hardware removal following orif of extremities using a nationally representative...

background: a laboratory study was conducted to investigate the ability of a special type of strongly basic resin mp500ws for the removal of nitrate from different waters. methods: two different types of point-of-use (pou) devices containing an identical resin were used. mp500ws known as macro porous was used in pou devices for removal of high concentrations of nitrate and sulfate ions from wat...
