Biochars have been suggested to P capture potential from effluent streams and recycle the captured agricultural soils. However, most biochars low sorption capacity. The objective of this study was engineer biochar for enhanced affinity. Biochar produced corn stover biomass pre-treated with FeSO4 (ISIB) using autothermal (air-blown) pyrolysis at 500 °C. Point zero charge (pHZPC) shifted 8.48 4.3...

Textile industry is one of the most important and rapidly developing industrial sectors. It has a high importance in terms of its environmental impact, as it consumed high amount of processed water and produce highly polluted discharge water in large amount. Dying and printing mills comprises various operations include desizing, scouring, washing, finishing etc so they produces large amount of ...

Iron and copper, the essential trace elements accomplish their numerous relevant metabolic functions appropriately in the body. Hepcidin, ferroportin-1 and transferrin are associated with iron metabolism and their expression can be affected under different physiological or pathological conditions. The aim of the current study was to investigate the changes in hepatic gene expression of these ir...

The effect of tea on iron absorption was studied in human volunteers. Absorption from solutions of FeCl3 and FeSO4, bread, a meal of rice with potato and onion soup, and uncooked haemoglobin was inhibited whether ascorbic acid was present or not. No inhibition was noted if the haemoglobin was cooked. The effect on the absorption of non-haem iron was ascribed to the formation of insoluble iron t...

Heating mixtures of sodium nitrite, cysteine, and either ferrous sulfate or ferric chloride at 121 C for 20 min at pH 6.5 or 6.3 produced a potent inhibitor of Clostridium perfringens vegetative cells and spores when added to previously heat-sterilized fluid thioglycolate medium. When the mixtures containing FeSO4 at pH 5.2 or FeCl3 at pH 2.7 were heated, the inhibitory effect was not produced....

a new efficient and practical method for the room-temperature reduction of aromatic nitro compounds employing feso4. 7h2o, nabh4, h3pw12o40 system in h2o under mild conditions is reported. the method is simple, inexpensive, easily scaled-up and applicable for the large scale preparation of different substituted anilines.
