Trace organic compounds (TrOCs), mostly found in secondary effluents, have a potential impact on the environment, affecting surface water, groundwater, and especially aquatic ecosystems. The present study focuses on oxidation of five selected TrOCs in column experiments, by simulating Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) integrated with Fenton-like reaction, using Granular Ferric Hydroxide (GFH) as a c...

Abstract Magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized via co-precipitation method using ferric chloride and ferrous sulphate as the starting materials. The shape size of NPs controlled by different types additive including ammonium hydroxide sodium hydroxide. results revealed that adding hydroxide, particles attained a spherical with uniform size. On other hand, turned fr...

Abstract Heavy metal pollution is a key environmental problem. Selectively extracting heavy metals could accomplish water purification and resource recycling simultaneously. Adsorption promising approach with facile process, adaptability for the broad concentration of feed water, high selectivity. However, adsorption method faces challenges in synthesizing high-performance sorbents regenerating...

The iron oxide mineral magnetite (Fe3O4) is produced by various organisms to exploit magnetic and mechanical properties. Magnetotactic bacteria have become one of the best model organisms for studying magnetite biomineralization, as their genomes are sequenced and tools are available for their genetic manipulation. However, the chemical route by which magnetite is formed intracellularly within ...
