volatile organic compounds (vocs) are in categories of mankind and environmentally harmful materials. some of vocs are also carcinogenic and mutagen. because of expanded application of these compounds as various domestic and industrial usages, prevention of environmental contamination of these compounds is a substantial issue.  in this study, the effect of zero-valent iron nanoparticles applica...

BACKGROUND Zero valent iron and copper oxide nanoparticles (30-60 nm) were coated on a bed of natural zeolite (Clinoptilolite) with 1-2 mm grains and arranged as a dual filter in a stainless steel cylindrical reactor (I.D 4.5 cm and L = 30 cm) to investigating the coated bed removal efficiency for BTX. The experiments were conducted in three steps. First, with an air flow of 1.5 L/min and tempe...

conclusions briefly, the current study represents a novel method to eliminate temephos as an organophosphate compound from water samples with modified zero-valent iron nanoparticles. background temephos is an organophosphate pesticide used as larvicide in the environment. although not extremely hazardous, it can be risky for human health in the moderate concentrations. objectives this study inv...

Nitrate contamination of water resources and the growing concentration of nitrate endanger human health and the environment and considering its reduction strategies from water resources is important. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of removal of nitrate from aqueous solutions using granular activated carbon from grape wood coated with iron nanoparticles. The results sho...

manganese is one of the significant raw materials for various industries and most difficult element to remove from water because of its high solubility. the treatment of mn (ii) contained wastewater is stringent for environmental preservations. in the present study adsorption of mn2+ on zero-valent iron nanoparticles synthesized by chemical reduction process and modified with phosphate coating ...
