Severe combined burn-blast injury is a great challenge to surgical teams due to its high mortality. It also results in unsightly traumatic tattoos. The aims of these case reports were to clarify the clinical characteristic of the dynamite explosion burn-blast facial injuries and discuss appropriate management of these patients. We report two patients suffering from facial burn-blast injury foll...

Ammonium ions wastewater pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. The treatment of ammonium ions is a special concern due to their recalcitrance and persistence in the environment. In recent years, various methods for ammonium ion removal from wastewater have been extensively studied. This paper reviews the current methods that have been used to treat ammonium ...

introduction: natural organic matters (noms) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (dbps). humic matters like humic acid (ha) are component of noms that should be removed from water. advanced oxidation process (aops) is one of the noms removal methods. the aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...

Background: There are great resources of natural zeolite in Iran. Zeolite, an inorganic ion-exchanger, may be used as a suitable technical-economical solution for water treatment in many regions of Iran. In this study, the characterization of natural zeolite natrolite and the feasibility of removing hardness, cations, and anions were investigated. Methods: First, zeolite composition and type...

Silver-particle-incorporated polyurethane films were evaluated for antimicrobial activity towards two different bacteria: Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Distributed silver particles sourced from silver nitrate, silver lactate and preformed silver nanoparticles were mixed with polyurethane (PU) and variously characterized by field emission scanning electron mic...

The removal of the chromium (VI) ion from aqueous solutions with the Lewatit FO36 ion-exchange resin is described at different conditions. The effects of adsorbent dose, initial metal concentration, contact time and pH on the removal of chromium (VI) were investigated. The batch ion exchange process was relatively fast and it reached equilibrium after about 90 min of contact. The ion exchange p...

This work studies the effect of ion treatment on low-emissivity (low-e) coatings deposited by magnetron sputtering. Specifically, we have investigated application an in dielectric layer before deposition a silver. reduces roughness which means silver can be with enhanced characteristics. We also evaluated etching rate SnO x due to already deposit equal thicknesses. Subsequently, studied effects...

in this work, zeolite nay was prepared by hydrothermal method. then, silver ions were replaced in the zeolite nay with silver nitrate (agno3) solution via using ion exchange (ie) method. the manganese dioxide (mno2) nanoparticles (9.3 and 15.8 wt %) for guest were deposited in the zeolite agy(host) structure with mn(no3)2 aqueous and kmno4 solutions by confined space synthesis (css) method. syn...

Potters for Peace is a US-based NGO that manufactures colloidal silver-impregnated ceramic filters in developing countries, and partners with local NGOs who independently implement safe water programs. This study investigated the intrinsic effectiveness and field performance of the PFP filter by administering a survey to families using the filter, completing water quality analyses of preand pos...
