Soil/water interactions with the insecticide fensulfothion and its sulfide and sulfone metabolites and described. Adsorption to, and desorption from four soils were studied. There was a general inverse relationship between water solubilities of the three chemicals and their adsorption K values. Order of adsorption was f. sulfide greater than f. sulfone greater than fensulfothion. Adsorption K v...

Monosulfuron-ester is a new, low rate, sulfonylurea herbicide that is being promoted for annual broadleaf and gramineal weed control; however, there is a lack of published information on its behavior in soils. The adsorption and desorption of monosulfuron-ester by seven type soils were measured using a batch equilibrium technique. The results showed that the Freundlich equation fitted its adsor...

Normal human and rabbit sera when incubated with Staphylococcus aureus inhibit the adsorption of bacteriophages. The bacteriophage adsorption was also inhibited by separated normal immunoglobulin M (IgM), F(ab')(2), and Fab-fragments of IgG. No inhibition was obtained with myeloma IgG or Fc-fragments of normal human and rabbit IgG. The results indicate that the serum inhibition of bacteriophage...

background: mercury is a heavy metal with high toxic effects. it has many apply to various industries, so can enter to the environment from different resources. therefore, its elimination from wastewater is a major challenge. in this study, removal of mercury from aqueous solution using two types of almond shell was investigated and compared. methods: this experimental-intervention study has be...

The adsorption of star polymers on a flat solid surface is analyzed by means of scaling arguments based on the Daoud-Cotton blob model For the adsorption of a single star, consisting of f arms compnsing each N monomers, we distinguish three regimes determined by the
