Risk-based assessment methods are commonly used at the contaminated sites by hydrocarbon pollutants. This paper presents the results of a two-dimensional finite volume model of reactive transport of biodegradable BTEX which have been developed for the saturated zone of an unconfined aquifer in the Pump station area of Tehran oil refinery, Iran. The model governing equations were numerically sol...

it is possible to alter the permeability of ethyl cellulose membrane with certain materials such as surfactants. in this study the effect of surfactant concentration and different hlb values on the release rate of atenolol from ethyl cellulose-coated tablets was evaluated. the results showed that when the concentration of surfactant increased, the rate of drug release also increased. the kineti...

in this research, zeolite a was synthesized from waste porcelain and cds nano-particles were doped in zeolite framework by a precipitation after an ion exchanging process. all raw and modified samples were characterized by ft-ir, xrd and sem methods. primary experiments showed that the good efficiency of loaded nano cds onto the zeolite a for photodecomposition of dimethyldisulfide (dmds) under...

Nitazoxanide is a new broad-spectrum, antiparasitic drug agent. The photodegradation of nitazoxanide was studied in order to investigate the degradation kinetics of this drug. The analyses of the degraded samples were performed by a stability-indicating liquid chromatographic method. The degradation was carried out in acetonitrile with coated tablets or oral suspension powder in quartz cells un...

recently, extracts from various parts of a. occidentale had been massively investigated in themanagement and treatment of various ailments which include but not limited to diabetes, malaria,yellow fever as well as diarrhea. stem bark of anacardium occidentale was extracted with water andethanol. antioxidant activities of the extracts were using dpph. for estimation of effectivediffusivity, math...

The proteolysis kinetics of intact proteins by nonspecific proteases provides valuable information on transient partial unfolding of proteins under native conditions. Native-state proteolysis is an approach to utilize the proteolysis kinetics to assess the energetics of partial unfolding in a quantitative manner. In native-state proteolysis, folded proteins are incubated with nonspecific protea...

Background & Aims of the Study: Nitrogenous compounds could directly create many problems for human's health and the environment. Thus, removal of nitrogenous compounds is necessary. Among the most important problems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, toxicity for aquatics, eutrophication, converting aerobic medium into anaerobic one and corrosion could be noted. The aim of this stu...

The removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions from wastewater using p-tert-butyl-calix[4] arene was investigated in terms of initial pH, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature. The maximum adsorption occurred at the pH value of 6. The adsorbent studied exhibits high efficiency for Cd (II)and Pb (II) adsorption and the equilibrium states could be achieved in 10 min. Adsorption...

The stability of the broad-spectrum antibiotic ceftiofur was studied in order to investigate the kinetics of photodegradation of this drug, using a stability-indicating liquid chromatography (LC) method. The degradation was carried out in aqueous solutions, prepared from reference substance and two pharmaceutical products (Excenel and Topcef) containing sodium ceftiofur powder for injection, in...
