globally, increasing nitrate concentrations have become a significant environmental problem and a potential risk to public health. the world health organization (who) has set a limit of (10 (mg.l -1 )) no 3 - for human consumption and (100 mg.l -1 )) no 3 - for animals. water above these limits requires denitrification. nitrates causes cancer, blue-bay syndrome, hypertension and thyroid hypertr...

The influence of characteristics of electrochemically activated aqueous processing mediums in the treatment of fur skins with different contents of fatty substances was investigated. The use of electroactive water, namely anolytes and catholytes, forgoing antiseptics or surface-active materials, helped to restore the hydration of fur skins and to remove from them soluble proteins, carbohydrates...

ultrasonic technology as an innovative technology may be used for water and wastewater treatment for pollution removal. this technology acts as an advanced oxidation process. application of this technology leads to the decomposition of many com­plex organic compounds to much simpler compounds during physical and chemical compounds during cavitation proc­ess. in this article review, some applica...

background: in the current study,the hazard quotient, the hazard index (hi) and spatial variations of fe,mn,cu and cr in drinking water sources of andimesk-shush, khuzestan province, southern iranaquifer were assessed. methods: we compared theconcentrations of aforementioned heavy metals in wells and springs inandimeshk and shush regions. the non-carcinogenic risk assessment of heavy metals was...

BACKGROUND The oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, is cultivated worldwide. It is one of the most appreciated mushrooms due to its high nutritional value. Immersion of the substrate in hot water is one of the most popular and worldwide treatment used for mushroom farmers. It is cheap and easy to implement. AIMS To compare the yields obtained during mushroom production of P. ostreatus using ...

introduction: giardia and cryptosporidium are two of the most common parasitic protozoa that cause acute intestinal infections in children, all of the world. these parsites find in water environments, such as untreated water , wastewaters and even treated water. according to, a precise study on surface water was not done, in our country, necessity of precise study by ifa method that is prescise...

in this study a sample of bentonite obtained from semnan mines, was modified by a surfactant to prepare an organoclay with high surface area. bet analysis showed that the modification increased its surface significantly. the prepared sorbent was used for removal of dyes and other organic pollutants from a waste water obtained from ekbatan textile company. adsorption was studied in various times...

This work presents a model for the inclusion of chemical water stability in optimizing the operation of water distribution systems. When desalinated water is mixed with surface water and/or groundwater, the blend can become chemically unstable. Such a state can cause the phenomena of “red water,” an increase in corrosion rates, and a reduction in disinfection efficiency. In this study, a method...
