increasing the concentration of ammonia in water can cause fish death. this study was conducted to compare the performance of conditioned activated carbon and zeolite in ammonia (tan = total ammonia nitrogen) removal in a simulated transport of rainbow trout fry in 40-liter plastic bags. hence, responses of zeolite and conditioned activated carbon in ammonia (tan) removal at different concentra...

background: septic intracranial venous thrombosis is a rare vascular disease of the brain with no specific sign or symptom. while urgent treatment will result in complete recovery, delays may cause permanent complications or even death. case report: the patient was a 23-year-old woman who had suffered visual loss, hallucination, and confusion two weeks after undergoing submandibular abscess rem...

Progressive collapse is a situation where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, leads to additional collapse. Hence, the total damage is disproportionate to the original cause. The most common local failure in framed structure is assumed to be column failure. In this paper, a new approach for dynamic column removal in framed s...

background: as fluoride concentration in drinking water is one of the effective parameters in human health, finding the ways to remove excess amount of fluoride is very important in water supply projects. this study aimed to evaluate mendon bauxite mine in the removal of fluoride from drinking water. methods: this experimental study was conducted from may to october 2013 on synthetic and actual...

Background & Aims of the Study:  Nitrate is one of the most important pollutants that its reduced form, nitrite, can cause serious problems for human health and environment. Adsorption with cheap sorbents such as Zeolite is the best way for removal of this pollutant. So this study aimed to apply modified Clinoptilolite Zeolite for nitrate removal. Materials & Methods...

Dye-containing wastewater is one of the main environmental challenges that can cause health issues. It is crucial to remove the dyes from wastewater before its discharge into the environment. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of aptenia cordifolia mucilage in removal of anionic dyes from textile wastewater via coagulation and flocculation process. To this goal, the effect of different ...

Background & Aims of the Study: The wastewater created as a result of stone cutting industries enters some pools for re-consumption so that its suspended solids settle by gravity. By taking to account the high volume of water and sludge, treatment of wastewater and removal of sludge cause many problems for stone cutting units. The objective of this study was to determine the quality of wast...
