background: in this research, the decomposition of aroclor 1254, including 20 kinds of poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), in real waste transformer oil in the presence of peg1000, naoh, zero valent iron and h2o by microwave (mw) irradiation was studied. methods: central composites design (ccd) method was carried out for experimental design. the effects of microwave power levels (200- 1000 w), r...

Abstract This work aimed at treating OMW by developing an environmentally friendly and cost-effective media capable of removing phenolic compounds upon the interaction between magnetic nanoparticles sorbent material such as zeolite. Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) goethite (FeO(OH)) were prepared using microemulsion method dimethylene-1,2-bis (dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide) (CTAB) a surfactant. The h...

Engineered iron nanoparticles, with sizes smaller than 100 nm, have been of high concern because of their promising capability in environmental remediation. Nanoparticles based on zero-valent iron (nZVI) have the potential not only to migrate in the environment and interact with pollutants but also influence the living organisms by direct impact or by changes of groundwater parameters. The basi...

Populations of native fish and aquatic ecosystems have been negatively affected by the contamination of ground and surface waters as a result of various activities. Due to the ferrous chloride (FeCl2), which is used as the reducing agent for the organic synthesis reactions in the contamination of water column and sediment, iron salts may be very toxic for some aquatic organism. In order to mini...

The increasing production and broad application of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have led to a substantial release ENPs into natural systems. Despite their different utilization prospects, such as nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) silver (AgNPs) been co-found in aquatic environments. This study comprehensively examined the effect AgNPs on reductive ability NZVI, which was probed through conve...

in recent years, the scientists have focused on nanotecnology and its applications as the most important fields of research and development. the use of nanoparticles offers many advantages, due to their unique size and physical properties. magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been used in many fields, because of their unique properties such as large specific surface area and convenient separa...
