Heavy metals such as Cu(II) and Pb(II) are among the hazardous pollutants that lead to severe ecological problems and have a toxic effect on living organisms. The removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by Iranian bentonite experiment were conducted in single component and multi component systems. The bentonite from the Birjand area was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern and FTIR spectroscopy. The...

wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

Adsorption removal of Cu(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution using low-cost banana peels (a food waste) and bentonite clay (natural resource), was investigated. The adsorption process was studied in a batch scale at mean operation parameter which were pH, adsorbent particle size, adsorbents dosages, and initial concentrations of metal ions. All experiments were conducted at room temperature. L...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of arabinoxylan as potential suspending agent, an effective alternative to commercially used excipients for the preparation of pharmaceutical suspensions. Alkali extraction was done to separate arabinoxylan from ispaghula (Plantago ovata) seed husk by alkali extraction its physicochemical characterization was done and the suspending properties of...

in this study , response surface methodology and face central composite design in order to investigate decolorization and clarification extraction of kaluteh date was used for the production of liquid sugar. the optimum amount of bentonite ( 1-3 g/l ) and gelatin ( 0/02-0/08 g/l ) was determined that the desired amount of bentonite and gelatin , 3 and 0/05 ( g/l ) , respectively. to determined ...

With the aim to determine influence of dominant interlayer cation on sorption and diffusion properties bentonite, experiments with Sr compacted homoionous Ca- Na-forms Czech natural Mg/Ca bentonite using planar source method were performed. The was 1400 kg·m−3, lasted 1, 3 or 5 days. Two methods apparent coefficient Da determination based analytical solution equation for ideal boundary conditio...

Stability of respiratory syncytial virus was determined in a new bentonite holding medium and compared with two other commonly used media. Eventual infectivity titers were similar with all three preparations.

in this experiment, fermentation parameters of a tmr ration determined with different levels of phosalone as an organophosphate pesticide (0, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) and bentonite (0, 1 and 2 %dm of tmr) using in vitro batch culture and gas production techniques. the results from gas production showed that cumulative gas production for 96h after incubation significantly decreased with ...
