conclusions the present research demonstrated that the ultrasonic (us) process can be utilized as an effective and simple method for treatment of mg dye in an aqueous solution. moreover, the eeo is directly proportional to the mg concentration and power density and inversely proportional to temperature and mechanical agitation, which can be predicted by the obtained empirical kinetics model. co...

The creation of multi-stimuli-sensitive composite polymer–inorganic materials is a practical scientific task. combination photoactive magneto-piezoelectric nanomaterials and ferroelectric polymers offers new properties that can help solve environmental energy problems. Using the doctor blade casting method with thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique, we synthesized hybrid nanocompo...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are xenobiotics, present at variable concentrations in soils groundwater worldwide. Some of the current remediation techniques being researched or applied for PFAS-impacted involve solidification-stabilisation, soil washing, excavation disposal to landfill, on site situ smouldering, thermal desorption, ball milling incineration. Given large volumes re...

BACKGROUND Carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methyl carbamate) is a chemical in the carbamate family used chiefly as an insecticide. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor and is toxic to humans and classified as a likely human carcinogen. In the present study, the degradation of the carbaryl pesticide was investigated in the laboratory synthetic samples of tap water, in the effect of sonolysis and photolysis p...

The preparation of dispersions of single- and few-sheet 2D materials in various solvents, as well as the characterization methods applied to such dispersions, is critically reviewed. Motivating factors for producing single- and few-sheet dispersions of 2D materials in liquids are briefly discussed. Many practical applications are expected for such materials that do not require high purity formu...

* E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Effluents of textile dyeing are characterized by intense colour, chemical oxygen demand, suspended solids and a variety of refractory matter, such as heavy metals and nonionic surfactants. Strong colours may reduce light penetration, thus affecting the growth of plants and having impact on invertebrate and other forms of wildlife. There are a large numbe...
