recently, extracts from various parts of a. occidentale had been massively investigated in themanagement and treatment of various ailments which include but not limited to diabetes, malaria,yellow fever as well as diarrhea. stem bark of anacardium occidentale was extracted with water andethanol. antioxidant activities of the extracts were using dpph. for estimation of effectivediffusivity, math...

the removal of cd2+ and pb2+ ions from wastewater using p-tert-butyl-calix[4] arene was investigated in terms of initial ph, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature. the maximum adsorption occurred at the ph value of 6. the adsorbent studied exhibits high efficiency for cd (ii)and pb (ii) adsorption and the equilibrium states could be achieved in 10 min. adsorption...

the kinetic of photo oxidative decolorization of c.i. acid yellow 23 (ay23) was investigated in uv/ process. the semi-logarithmic of the concentrations of ay23 versus irradiation time were linear, suggesting pseudo-first order reaction. a simple kinetic model is proposed which confirms pseudo- first order reaction. the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant is a function of l...

background: titanium dioxide (tio2)-mediated photocatalysis has been found to be an efficient method of water treatment and is capable of degrading a wide range of organic pollutants and microbial agents with high efficiency. the microorganism pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to chemicals and uv irradiation. bacteria which are resistant to uv-induced oxidative damage of the cell membrane are...

ginger waste material (gwm) has been utilized as adsorbent for removal of hazardouspatent blue vf (pbvf) dye from aqueous solution. batch adsorption experiments wereperformed as a function of ph, contact time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature.the optimum ph required for the maximum adsorption was found to be 2. the experimentalequilibrium adsorption data were tested using langm...
