the studies report the synthesis of novel graft copolymer of oatmeal. polymethyl methacrylate grafting was carried out on oatmeal backbone via ‘microwave assisted’ approach. the graft copolymers were optimized by varying monomer and can concentration. the synthesized graft copolymers were characterized by intrinsic viscosity, ftir, tga, sem, elemental analysis, number average molecular weight a...

this study evaluates the effectiveness of adsorption process by granular activated carbon (gac) compared with a novel formulation of coagulation - flocculation process for dye removal from textile wastewater. in this regard, acidic, reactive, disperse and direct red dye are used to prepare the synthetic dye. dominant wave length for each dye is determined by spectrophotometeric method. using ga...

In this analysis, the efficacy of adding coagulants such as Phaseolus lunatus and vulgaris (polymers) to coagulation process during treatment arsenic aqueous solution extract metal was investigated. Experiments were carried out evaluate output vulgaris, both individually in combination with arsenic, using standard Jar test protocol. P.lunatus P.vulgaris given doses ranging from 1 3 gm. For P.vu...

The consumption of jar water has been increasing consistently in these days. To improve such water quality and supply, information is needed to assess water contamination in a variety of community, including those that rely primarily on unimproved distributed sources of drinking water. This study was done to assess the public perception on drinking jar water and assessment of drinking jar water...

chemical wastewater treatment is one of the attracting and common methods for wastewater treatment among the currently employed chemical unit processes. the use of coagulant-flocculant compound is one of the efficient methods for separating of paint and recovery of water. in this research, it was introduced and the effect of ph on removal of solid content from solution was studied experimentall...

are placed at the bottom of the jar, one of the usual oxygen indicators (for example, alkali^6' glucose-methylene-blue mixture) placed aloflj? with the cultures, and the jar sealed. After jj to 12 hours, according to the size of the jar an" the amount and quality of iron filings, the colour of the indicator is discharged and co1*^ plete anaerobiosis obtained. Approximately " grammes of iron fil...

the efficiency of existing municipal wastewater treatment plants has been affected by the increase of incoming organic load caused by the expansions in developing countries. in the present investigation, the effect of chemically enhanced primary treatment (cept) process was studied on the enhancement efficiency of a municipal wastewater treatment plant in tehran, iran. jar test results showed a...

Differential-phase-sensitive neurons in the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL) of the African electric fish, Gymnarchus niloticus, are sensitive to time disparities on the order of microseconds between afferent action potentials. These action potentials fire in a phase-locked manner in response to the animal's own wave-type electric organ discharges (EODs) (). The time disparity is one of t...

The bioefficacy of a commercial formulation of temephos, Creek against Aedes aegypti larvae was studied in the laboratory. Earthen jars were filled with 10 L tap water each. One g of temephos (Creek) sand granule formulation was added into each earthen jar as recommended by the manufacturer. The final test concentration of Creek was 1 mg a.i./L. One earthen jar was filled with 10 L tap water an...
