A new simple and rapid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction has been applied to preconcentrate tracelevels of zinc as a prior step to its determination by spectrophotometric method. In the proposed method, 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR) is used as a chelating agent, and chloroform and ethanol are selected asextraction and dispersive solvent. The optimization strategy is carried out by us...

degradation of acrylic water base color from synthetic wastewater by the fenton process was performed. experiments were conducted on the sample containing 100 and 400 mg/l of acrylic water base color. the study was performed for searching optimum values of feso4 and h2o2 concentration, ph and temperature. the h2o2 requirement seems to be related to initial cod of the sample. feso4/ h2o2 ratios ...

Chlorine-resistant Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in drinking water play an important role in the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis. Current methods of detecting these organisms in water are insensitive, labor-intensive, highly subjective, and severely limited by sample turbidity. We describe here an alternative technique utilizing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology for detecting C. parv...

Bioremediation uses various microorganisms to detoxify or degrade various harmful substances in the nature, particularly soil and water. In the proposed work, five species of micro-organisms were used to analyse their impact on various physico-chemical parameters of water. In the first attempt the actual physico chemical parameters of the collected sample water were noted down (Fresh sample par...

study of the ground water quality in hodeidah is an essential ingredient for a healthypopulation. in this research, study of drinking water samples for eight water sources wells in thequti field has been achieved. the purpose was to a certain the quality of water from thesesources, the physical properties such as ph, electrical conductivity (ec) and total dissolvedsolids (tds), showed the varia...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of scrophularia striata water extract on the quality and shelf life of the rainbow trout fillet during superchilled storage. fish samples were treated with 1% and 3% s. striata water extract and then stored at -2°c for 20 days. the samples were analyzed periodically for chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics. results indicated that ...

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is critically important in the chemistry of freshwater. It complexes heavy metals, making them less bioavailable to aquatic organisms, and absorbs and attenuates UVB radiation, undergoing degradation and alteration in the process. This study examined changes in metal toxicity to the freshwater green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata in high- and low-DOC natural...

background: measurement of back ground concentration of uranium in drinking water is very important for many reasons, specially, for human health. the uranium concentration in drinking water in many counties is a matter of concern for clinical and radioactive poisoning. materials and methods: the uranium concentration in drinking water is determined using laser flourimatric uranium analyzer. fo...

The aim of this research was to develop a simple procedure for a highly sensitive determination of low-molecular-weight (LMW) carbonyl compounds in drinking water and natural water. We employed a preconcentration HPLC system with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) for the determination of LMW carbonyl compounds. A C-18 reverse-phase preconcentration column was used instead of a sample loop at th...
