oil exploration and production zones are very frequently contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons or its derivatives. the most important exploration and production zones are located in south-west and south of the country, in iran. masjed soleiman city is located on an oil field. the soil of this region has been affected by the petroleum composition. mach petroleum seepages and springs (asphalt,...

A high-throughput method has been developed for screening and optimization of colloidal water oxidation catalysts. The catalysts are irradiated in parallel by visible light from an overhead projector in solutions containing tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) and persulfate. The array of reaction solutions is held in a 96-well plate, and absorbance readings are taken intermittent...

Adsorption process has proven its efficiency in the abatement of pharmaceuticals liquid media, even if large volumes wastewater need to be treated. Nevertheless, exhausted adsorbent regeneration is economically and environmentally necessary. For this reason, recent studies are aimed at finding new methods regeneration. In study, an on-site adsorption-regeneration method was assessed. Initially,...

This study proposed a sequential redox process to partially degrade tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) within reactor great extent. After 72 hours in an anoxic environment, 20 ppm of TBBPA could be effectively degraded by sulfurized zerovalent iron nanoparticles (S-nZVI) at concentrations 2 g L-1 and 4 L-1. Biphenol (BPA) together with tri-, di-, monobromobisphenol was detected high-performance liqu...
