Tehran, one of the heavily-populated capitals, is severely suffering from increasing air pollution. To show a documented trend of such pollutants during last years, plane tree species (Platanus orientalis) were suited to be studied as indicators, for the species have been planted throughout the city many years ago. Two areas (Saadatabad and Narmak districts) allotting different contents of crow...

background: allergy is a clinical disorder affecting the human population with wide geographical distribution. platanus orientalis (p. orientalis) trees are planted in many countries and their pollen causes allergic reactions. cyclophilin has recently been identified as one of the most important allergens of p. orientalis pollen. we aimed to clone and purify this allergen in escherichia coli fo...

In this study, activated carbon was produced from platanus orientalis leaves and the adsorption of methylene blue onto investigated. Facile chemical activation route conducted for process lignocellulosic leaves. ZnCl2 used as activating agent with different ratios. Morphological, structural characteristics samples were determined by using optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

The purpose of this study was to present an application the artificial neural network (ANN) that predicts bonding strength glulam manufactured from plane tree (Platanus orientalis L.) wood layers adhered with a combination modified starch adhesive and UF resin. Bonding measured at different weight ratios containing values nano-zinc oxide as additive under conditions press temperature time. As p...

A flowsheet was developed to extract mixed Rare Earth Elements (REEs) from an aqueous solution generated by nitric acid leaching of apatite concentrate. In this study, Platanus orientalis (P. orientalis) leaf powder employed in the biosorption process purify pregnant leach solution. The sorption and desorption processes were investigated optimized. results demonstrated successful extraction REE...
