hospital wastewater has special importance since having pathogens, radioactive materials, pharmaceutical wastes and heavy metals. removing them into environment without any treatment may cause serious problems for the public health. membrane biological reactor is the combination of the activated sludge and membrane filters. this research has investigated the performance of the nano-filtration i...

background & aims of the study: heavy metals are the most important and main pollutants because of their accumulation and high toxicity even at very low dose and cause serious hazards to ecological system as well as human health. thus, their removal has been challenged from drinking water and industrial waters with different technologies. the purpose of this work is to investigate the removal o...

abstract aims: even low concentrations of phenol in industrial waste can cause many difficulties for the aquatic environment. so removal of this organic matter is an important issue. the adsorption process, is one of the most effective methods for isolation and purification of phenols. the aim of this study was to introduce wood haloxylon as a natural and new absorbent to remove phenol from aqu...

Background: Approximately 3% to 5% of obstetric patients will experience postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Even though the most common reason for postpartum hemorrhage, as the main cause of maternal death, is uterine atony; other complications such as laceration, hematoma, inversion, rupture; retained tissue or invasive placenta; and coagulopathy may result in PPH. The main cause of retained placent...

Introduction: A major concern of human being is accumulation and toxicity of heavy metals in their body. Copper is a heavy metal ion that in concentration of 2 mg/l can cause numerous complications. Different treatment methods have been proposed for removing metals from contaminated water by researchers. Among these methods, sorption seems a better method with high removal efficiency. In this s...
