1.    introduction textile industry has a significant impact on the environment because large amount of water and chemicals is used in various processes of this industry such as sizing, scouring, washing, bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing that leads to production of hazardous wastewater. this wastewater contains dying substances which remain visible even at low concentrations. water cla...

The negative corona discharge has been generated in flowing oxygen and carbon dioxide. Electrodes in the reactor were in coaxial geometry. The inner (wire) electrode was made of molybdenum and the outer electrode was made of stainless steel, aluminium or brass. The negative corona discharge has been generated in flowing pure oxygen and carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperat...

Dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria are ubiquitous in soils worldwide, possess the ability to transfer electrons outside of their cell membranes, and are capable of respiring with various metal oxides. Reduction of iron oxides is one of the more energetically favorable forms of anaerobic respiration, with a higher energy yield than both sulfate reduction and methanogenesis. As such, this proc...

In this study, two new Ni/La-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method, with different aluminium precursors (aluminium triisopropoxide and aluminium nitrate). The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET specific surface area, and particle size analysis (PSA) techniques. The BET results showed that the par...

The constant potential oxidation of iron in aqueous sulfuric acid solution induces a self-sustained nonlinear oscillation of the current. Here, two independently controlled iron electrodes become synchronized to each other as the distance between the electrodes is reduced. The temporal pattern of the synchronization is a function of the potential difference between the electrodes. The oscillati...

the taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow g by electrocoagulation (ec) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. an orthogonal array (oa9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...

Conversion of tropical forests into intensely managed plantations is a threat to ecosystem functions. On Sumatra, Indonesia, oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations are rapidly expanding, displacing rain forests and extensively used rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) agro-forests. Here, we tested the influence of land use systems on root traits including chemical traits (carbon, nitrogen, mineral nut...

Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with Aluminium Phosphide poisoning is very rare. We report a case of concurrent Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. Key words...

in this research, the influence of chemical composition of slags and the melting rate on the impurity of commercial grade iron in esr processing has been investigated.the chemical composition and microstructure studies were evaluated, using spectrophotometer,omand edx analyses attached to sem.the results show that esr process has successfully reduced the amount and size of inclusions. in some c...
