Immobilizing of zero-valent iron in mono- and bi-metallic systems on the bentonite clay surface as new nanocatalyst were synthesized and used to degrade model acidic dyes from aqueous media. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis were ...

problematic dyes extensively used in different industries such as textile, paper, food, plasticsand cosmetics have undesirable environmental effects. white rot fungi demonstrating effective extracellularenzyme system, which is capable of degrading dyes and various xenobiotics. the aim of this study was tooptimize decolorization of reactive blue 19 (rb19) dye using phanerochaetechrysosporium. a ...

Herein, we prepared a V/SBA-16 catalyst using vanadyl acetylacetonate as a precursor and SBA-16 nanoporous silica as a support via an immobilization technique. The ordered mesoporous structure of catalyst was determined by X-ray diffraction  and transmission electron microscopy techniques , and the catalyst was evaluated in the benzene hydroxylation to phenol with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a ...

The textile industry is a water intensive industry that produces a large amount of highly colored wastewater that must be properly treated before disposal or reuse. In the present study, to verify the possibility of reusing textile wastewater with nanofilteration (NF), an attempt was made to treatment of synthetic reactive dye aqueous solution by commercial nanofiltration membrane. Experiments ...

formaldehyde in small quantities is commonly analyzed by spectrophotometric methods. one of the most-commonly used spectrophotometric techniques for this purpose is based on the reaction with chromotropic acid. because of its simplicity, sensitivity, selectivity and its low cost, it is still widely used. investigations for replacing the concentrated sulfuric acid with other acids or using more ...

a box-behnken design with three replicates was used for preparation and evaluation of eudragit vancomycin (vcm) nanoparticles prepared by double emulsion. the purpose of this work was to optimize vcm nanoparticles to improve the physicochemical properties. nanoparticles were formed by using w1/o/w2 double-emulsion solvent evaporation method using eudragit rs as a retardant material. full factor...

a rhamnolipid–type biosurfactant production by pseudomonas aeruginosa mm1011 was studied in a miniaturized shaken bioreactor. the operational parameters, affecting the biosurfactant production in shaken bioreactors, such as shaking frequency (200, 250, 300 rpm), filling volume (50, 75, 100 ml), and aeration rate (0.2, 0.6, 1 vvm), were optimized using response surface methodology. the optimizat...
