Background: Surface water and groundwater pollution with various forms of nitrogen such as ammonium and nitrate ions is one of the main environmental risks. The major objectives of this study were to evaluate the capacity of natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) to remove NO3- and NH4+ from polluted water under both batch and column conditions. Methods: The laboratory batch and column experiments we...

The present study deals with the appropriateness of coagulation process using natural coagulant Moringa oleifera seed. Natural coagulants are useful for treatment wastewater because its sustainability, cost-effectiveness, non-toxicity and lesser quantity sludge formation. M. seed having a chemical composition polypeptides 6 amino acids like arginine acid, methionine glutamic phenylalanine, thre...

Immobilization of poly[8-methacroyloxy-quinoline] on a natural saponite surface immediately after polymer formation has been performed. The adsorption properties the modified adsorbent with resp...

A separation and preconcentration method based on solid-phase extraction using sulfoxide adsorbent was developed for the determination of Hg(II) in natural water samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The sulfoxide adsorbent was packed into a commercially available syringe-driven column (with a bed volume of 1.0 mL), which permitted off-line sample loading and on-lin...

Water is one of the most vital and indispensable commodities of our everyday life. Progression of this natural resource plays a crucial role in socio-economic scenario. With only 1% available potable component, it is by and large adequate to meet all the demands of mankind. However its quality and dissemination over different regions of the world is uneven and causes problems of scarcity and ap...

Ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate modified gold nanoparticles grafted Mn doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Au@Mn-Fe3O4 NPs) adsorbent was synthesized and applied for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of Ag+ and Pb2+ ions in artificial and natural saliva. The adsorbent was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (...
