Coagulation using inorganic compounds such as aluminum sulfate is commonly used in water-wastewater treatment. However, there are some drawbacks to its utilization, a significant decrease the treated water’s pH, non-biodegradable sludge, and potential negative impact on human mental health (dementia Alzheimer's). The use of coagulants can be minimized with addition natural-based coagulant-aid p...

Kinetics of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl)-induced unfolding of human prostatic acid phosphatase (hPAP), a homodimer of 50 kDa subunit molecular mass was investigated with enzyme activity measurements, capacity for binding an external hydrophobic probe, 1-anilinonaphtalene-8-sulfonate (ANS), accessibility of thiols to reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and 2-(4'-maleimid...

The repeat length-dependent tendency of the polyglutamine sequences of certain proteins to form aggregates may underlie the cytotoxicity of these sequences in expanded CAG repeat diseases such as Huntington's disease. We report here a number of features of various polyglutamine (polyGln) aggregates and their assembly pathways that bear a resemblance to generally recognized defining features of ...

in this work, the synthesis of porous structure of cadmium oxide with multilayered sheet-like morphology in nano-meter size using adipic acid as soft template by solvothermal/thermal decomposition process is reported. chemical analyses exhibited that the formation of porous sheet-like structure is originated from bidentate coordination mode of adipate units to cd-center. it was found that the c...

the effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. removal of congo red (cr) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. the operating variables studied were initial ph of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. the morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

nanocomposite of zro2/zno was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation by sol gel process from directly mixing zirconium and zinc gels. the mixture was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 2 hours. after the aging time and filtration of the reaction mixture, the filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500 °c for 3h in furnace. the precursor gels of zirconium and zinc were prepared from dissol...

Nano hexagonal wurtzite ZnO has been prepared on zeoliteA by the sono-chemical method. The zeoliteA was mixed into Zinc gel, after stirring for two days, the mixture was irradiated 30 min by ultrasonic probe. The filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500°C for 3h in furnace. The produced composite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and field emission scanning elec...

Advanced industrialization has caused an increase in the continuous discharge of hazardous effluents environment. This study evaluated potential laccase synthesized by Bacillus sp. NU2 to degrade five synthetic dyes. Sawdust, wheat bran and peels banana tangerine were utilized as carbon sources for bacterial growth production. The produced crude enzyme was purified homogeneity determine its mol...

Gums Arabic (GA) and Xanthan (GX) are natural polysaccharides that can be extracted by means for applications, such adsorption of pollutants. Structural modifications as carboxymethylation on bio-adsorbent materials, performed to improve its adsorptive properties. Development polymeric nanoparticles is an economical favorable option the Congo red dye, which has high toxicity resistant tradition...
