background: the purpose of the present study was to assess the efficiency of ultrasound/hydrogen peroxide processes and ultrasound/hydrogen peroxide/zno nanoparticles in the removal of blue cat 41 dye from aqueous solutions. methods: zno nanoparticles were prepared using the hydrothermal method. variables including ph, concentration of zno nanoparticles, initial dye concentration, concentration...

In the present study, several pre-polymerized coagulants of iron and aluminum were tested for their efficiency towards As(V) and As(III) removal from water sources. The results showed that the pre-polymerized coagulants of iron, such as poly-ferric sulfate and poly-ferric silicate chloride, were very efficient for As(V) removal. With regard to As(III) removal, among all examined coagulants, inc...

The presence of particles such as algae, clay, organic materials and water-soluble substances often create turbidity or color in water. In recent years, electrocoagulation process has attracted an extensive attention due to its advantages. Since sand filters are widely used in water treatment industry and their corresponding backwash water is large in volume, turbidity removal will save water c...

BACKGROUND Different superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been tested for their potential use in cancer treatment, as they enter into cells with high effectiveness, do not induce cytotoxicity, and are retained for relatively long periods of time inside the cells. We have analyzed the interaction, internalization and biocompatibility of dimercaptosuccinic acid-coated superparamagnetic...

the aim of this study was to develop a novel multifunctional nanoparticle, which encapsulates spion and gemcitabine in plga±peg to form multifunctional drug delivery system. for this aim, super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions) were synthesized and encapsulated simultaneously with gemcitabine (gem) in plga±peg copolymers via w/o/w double emulsification method. optimum size and enca...

aims: arsenic contamination of natural water resources has become an important environmental problem in the world. the adsorption method by iron filings adsorbent or zero-valent iron was used. the study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of iron filings in arsenite removal from polluted water and to investigate the effect of magnetic field on the process. materials & methods: this interventional ...
