Egg whites can undergo gelation at extreme pH. In this paper, the effects of NaOH concentration (1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3%), temperature (10, 20, 30, and 40°C), and additives (metallic compounds, carbohydrates, stabilizers, and coagulants) on the strength of alkaline-induced egg white gel were investigated. Results showed that NaOH concentration and induced temperature significantly affected the rate...

The subject of research was groundwater from Quaternary formations with high concentration of total iron, increased colour and turbidity, and an increased amount of organic substances and manganese. Successful purification of such water creates technological problems and is practically impossible to achieve by applying traditional groundwater treatment processes. One of the ways recommended for...

The effects of preparation parameters on the performance and morphology of polydimethylsiloxane/ polysulfone (PDMS/PSf) membranes were investigated. The PDMS layer is mainly used for sealing the defects of the PSf selective layer. The membrane morphologies were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The CO2/CH4 separation performance of membranes was studied by a pure gas pe...

Trace organic contaminants have become an increasing cause of concern for governments and water authorities as they attempt to respond to the potential challenges posed by climate change by implementing sustainable water cycle management practices. The augmentation of potable water supplies through indirect potable water reuse is one such method currently being employed. Given the uncertainty s...

The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review determine the understanding current research on use Cassava Peel (CP) in field wastewater treatment, especially as coagulant. This reports types coagulant modification CP, coagulants characterization CP for each modification, performance under various conditions, and applications treatment. takes references from 51 articles period 201...

Pollutants in dye wastewater significantly vary due to the large number of dyes and other chemical compounds used in dyeing processes. The major compounds in dye wastewater are desizing and scouring agents, bleaches, reducing agents, detergents and wetting agents, finishing agents, organic acids and dyes, and fluorescent brighteners1). Physical, chemical and biological methods have been applied...

Electrochemical methods and processes have been applied for many years in environmental applications such as water/wastewater treatment, recovery of metals, electroplating and qualitative/quantitative analysis in various aqueous media. Among these processes, electro‐ coagulation (EC) has gained many interest due to providing simple, reliable and cost effective operation for the treatment of was...

A common step in most of water treatment plants is the chemical coagulation. The chemical coagulation is the process of destabilizing the colloidal particles suspended in raw water by the addition of coagulants. Generally, the determination of the quantity of coagulant to be added to water is made manually by jar tests. However, the manual control has slow response to changes of raw water and i...

Ample evidence is available that body fluids other than serum contain antibodies (Coleman and Appleman, 1953; Kanter and Appleton, 1940; Klauder and Kolmer, 1921). Occasionally (Biro, 1947) these fluids reveal antibodies more frequently and sooner after infection of the bone marrow in syphilis. Plasma also has an antibody content (Addis, 1912; Cowie, 1909; Gurd, 1912), although some anti-coagul...

The antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties of tofu using acetaminophen to induce liver damage in albino rats were evaluated. Tofus were prepared using calcium chloride, alum, and steep water as coagulants. The polyphenols of tofu were extracted and their antioxidant properties were determined. The weight gain and feed intake of the rats were measured. The analysis of serum alanine aminotra...
