Wastewater treatment plants are increasingly interested in adopting inorganic coagulants and organic flocculants their sludge process since disposal costs more than half of the overall operational costs. This study synthesized poly titanium sulfate (PTS) by different molar ratios used best one with cellulose-based for conditioning. PTS a 1:2 ratio showed lowest capillary suction time (CST) was ...

It is known that tofu quality tends to vary among soybeans even of the same variety. Cultivation environments can affect the contents of the soybeans. Twenty-seven soybean varieties were grown in a drained paddy field and an upland field, and then their protein and phytate contents were determined using the Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) method. The phytate contents of 12 variet...

The effect of polyelectrolytes; cationic and anionic charges and coagulants have been investigated for fresh activated sludge at different concentrations and pH values in a comparative fashion. The results from the experiments indicate that the cationic polyelectrolytes have a significant effluence on the sludge characteristic, degree of flocculation and water quality such as turbidity and SVI....

Substantial progress has been made in algal technologies in past few decades. Initially, microalgae drew the attention of the scientific community as a renewable source of biofuels due to its high productivity over a short period of time and potential of significant lipid accumulation. As of now, a technological upsurge has elaborated its scope in phycoremediation of both organic and inorganic ...

The value of different anticoagulants as preservatives of specimens for prothrombin time ratios is evaluated and discussed. An increase in the ratio was demonstrated with all anti-coagulants after 24 hours and this was significant when coagulometer error was taken into account. Both solid and liquid sodium citrate were superior to sodium oxalate as preservatives at 24 hours after taking off sam...

While the haemorrhagic consequences of anti-coagulants are well and frequently described in the surgical literature, the paradoxical prothrombotic tendencies of these drugs tend to be under-recognised due, perhaps, to their clinical infrequency. However, when these effects pertain, their consequences can be devastating. Here, we present a postoperative oncology patient who suffered a massive re...

Surface charge density studies as well as characterizations of coagulated dye sludge were investigated to explain the mechanism which takes place during removal of dyes from effluents by chemical coagulation. A simple laboratory model was used to compare two commercially used textile azo dyes: CI “Reactive Black 5” and “Acid Black 1” that were coagulated with synthetic primary coagulants have b...

The natural coagulant Moringa oleifera (MO) is considered to be an efficient coagulant with some advantages over chemical coagulants. Fluoride removal, using MO seed extract was investigated. The influence of MO dosage, initial F concentration, and pH were determined and modeled using the Box-Behnken design response surface methodology. With a constant initial F concentration, it was found that...

Basilar artery occlusion may be associated with a poor prognosis in the absence of recanalization. Choices in aggressive treatment for this potentially fatal condition vary from intra-arterial or intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular removal, or a combination of the two, with adjunct anti-coagulation therapy. These therapies have proven to be effective in recanalization, whereas conservative m...
