Water shortages, water pollution and climate changes are highly interrelated global issues. These have raised immense concerns about serious adverse effects on the quality, treatment and re-use of wastewater. A major role ...

Water is a limited resource and pollution has become an increasing problem due to industrialization. Aromatic organic pollutants are resistant to biodegradation, and thus chemical methods like the Fenton reaction is required ...

A simple and rapid method for determination of estrone (E1) and β-estradiol (E2) was developed and validated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The solutions of standards and sample were prepared with ...

Persisting challenges associated with remediation of heavy metals from aqueous media have stirred the need for enhancement of current technologies. Cellulosic agro waste materials (AWM) as well as ion-imprinted polymers ...

Quantum dots (QDs) have already proven features that can be considered to improve their properties for biological applications. Metal selenide nanoparticles possess semiconducting behaviors that can vary with structural ...

Dithiocarbamate ligands and their complexes has been a subject of interest in various fields but they found much interest in medical applications as potential anti-microbial agents. The dithiocarbamate ligands were used ...

The advancement of technology, particularly in the area of mobile computing, revolutionizes the way business is done in many industries such as the education sector, government sector, financial institutions, retail sector ...

Many oxidic iron compounds—iron oxides; oxy-hydroxides and hydroxides—not only play an important role in a variety of disciplines but also serve as a model system of reduction and catalytic reactions. There are more than ...

In the present era of water resources scarcity, efficient treatment of wastewater is a major prerequisite especially for growing economy. Numerous approaches have been studied for the development of cheaper and more effective ...

ii Abstract The use of biosorption to complement conventional water treatment techniques has gained widespread appeal partly due to the abundance of waste materials that can be used as low cost biosorbents. However, ...
