This paper investigates the flocculation performance of polyglutamic acid-based bioflocculant PG.a21 Ca by processing kaolin suspension, studies the effects on the flocculation efficiency from the amount of flocculant, pH, temperature, hydraulic condition and etc. The results show that the flocculation rate of PG.a21 Ca to 1 g/L kaolin suspension is 95.8% under the condition that the amount of ...

The objective of the present study is to formulate nanoparticles that contain 5Flurouracil, an anticancer drug and optimization for chemical properties, drug concentration, polymer concentration, cross-linking agent and stirring speed. Nanoparticles of 5-Flurouracil were formulated using chitosan polymer and pregelated Sodium alginate by Ionotropic pregelation method. Calcium chloride was also ...

Multiple pesticides in water samples were successfully analyzed using an Agilent 5975T LTM GC/MSD equipped with an Agilent J&W DB-5ms Ultra Inert low thermal mass column module, with stir bar sorptive extraction and an Agilent Thermal Separation Probe for sample preparation. The method was simple, rapid, effective, and showed good linearity (R2 >0.9914) and high sensitivity for most of the targ...

COMMONLY USED TECHNICS for cleaning mercury in the laboratory are those whereby mercury is washed several times with a variety of solutions (water, sucrose solution, detergents, or diluted nitric acid), followed by filtration through a cheesecloth or pin-holed filter paper. These methods are not only inadequate, but also present a health hazard. The distillation of mercury is not practical in t...
