liquid membrane processes have attracted many interests in recent years for removal of heavy metals such as cadmium from industrial wastewaters. in this study, a modified hybrid liquid membrane system is introduced. the setup is worked by applying the water-insoluble dioctyl phthalate as the organic solvent. n-octanol and tetra butyl ammonium bromide are added to the organic phase to increase t...

the aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. the passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

Glyphosate, one of the organophosphate herbicides, has been widely used in the word. The removal of glyphosate was comparatively investigated by MnO2 oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and electrochemically assisted MnO2 oxidation (electro-MnO2) processes. The effects of MnO2 dosage, current density, and solution pH on glyphosate removal and Mn release were examined. The results indicated th...

Petrochemical manufacturing wastewaters often contain a high concentration of biodegradable com-pounds that possess either toxicity or activity inhibition to the biological unit. In this paper, COD removal from Petrochemical wastewaters by electro-Fenton process was studied. The effect of operating conditions such as reaction time, current density, pH, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, and H2O2 of petroch...

in this work, we developed a method which combined the processes of acid-leaching, ammonium jarosite precipitating and electro-depositing to recover copper and nickel from electroplating sludge. residual sludge from an electroplating plant located in qingdao was used for acid-leaching, and more than 95% of copper, nickel, zinc, chromium and iron were extracted from the sludge. after acid-leachi...

Monodispersed bimetallic PdAg nanoparticles can be fabricated through the emulsion-assisted ethylene glycol (EG) ternary system. Different compositions of bimetallic PdAg nanoparticles, Pd₈₀Ag₂₀, Pd₆₅Ag₃₅ and Pd₄₆Ag₅₄ can be obtained via adjusting the reaction parameters. For the formation process of the bimetallic PdAg nanoparticles, there have two-stage growth processes: firstly, nucleation a...

AIM To identify whether neuronavigation-assisted aspiration (NA) combined with electro-acupuncture (EA) provides better motor recovery in events of hypertensive putaminal hematoma (HPH) sized 30 to 50 ml. This study aims to examine whether neuronavigation-assisted aspiration and electro-acupuncture have additional value to cerebral hemorrhage motor rehabilitation. MATERIAL AND METHODS 240 pat...

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

pentachlorophenol (pcp) is a very hazardous compound which enters into the environment byindustries such as refineries and petrochemicals. as its biological degradation is very slow, this usemay cause the pollution of soils and groundwater; with the recent emergence of pentachlorophenolcontamination as an important drinking water quality issue, finding an easy, economical, and usefulmethod to r...
