Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPhycoremediation and the Potential of Sustainable Algal Biofuel Production using WastewaterAdel A. Fathi, Mohamed M. Azooz, Mohamed A. Al-FredanWastewater remediation by microalgae is an eco-friendly process with no secondary pollution as long as the biomass produced is reused and allows efficient nutrient recycling. This study was undertaken to evaluate the remediation of wastewater by the green alga Chlorella vulgaris and the potential of these alga (biomass) to produce sustainable biofuel. The results shows that the cultivation of green … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2013 · 7,536 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAbolishing Toxicity of Copper by Some Environmental Factors Using Green Alga Chlorella vulgarisAdel A. Fathi, Mohamed M. Azooz, Mohamed A. Al-FredanA variety of environmental factors are known to modify the toxicity of heavy metals on algae. This study was undertaken to examine the impact of some inorganic and organic complexes on the toxicity of copper using the isolated algal species (Chlorella vulgaris). The data illustrate that the amount of available forms of copper (copper free ions) gradually decreased with increasing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 2 Jan 2013 · 6,757 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDielectric Properties of Ni0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4-Polypropylene CompositesTan Foo Khoon, Jumiah Hassan, Nurhidayaty Mokhtar et al.Problem statement: In the last decade, the studies and investigation on polymer-based composites have drawn significant attention owing to improvement in their mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and pharmaceutical properties as compared with pure polymer. Approach: Different compositions of Ni0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4 (NZF) and Polypropylene (PP) can alter the useful properties of polymer-based composites. Hence, the determination toward significant percentage of NZF added … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Clay/Chitosan Bionanocomposites by UV-Irradiation MethodMansor Bin Ahmad, Kamyar Shameli, Majid Darroudi et al.Problem statement: Silver/Montmorillonite/Chitosan Bionanocomposites (Ag/MMT/Cts BNCs) have been synthesized by UV-irradiation reduction method in the absence of any reducing agent or heat treatment which is used to antibacterial application and medical devices. Approach: MMT, Chitosan and AgNO3 were used as a solid support, stabilizer and silver precursor, respectively. The properties of Ag/MMT/Cts BNCs were studied as a function of UV-irradiation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Clay Nanocomposites by Chemical Reduction MethodMansor Bin Ahmad, Kamyar Shameli, Majid Darroudi et al.Problem statement: Silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been synthesized by using chemical reduction method into the interlayer space of a Montmorillonite (MMT) as a solid support which is used to antibacterial application and polymer nanocomposites for fabrication of medical devices. Approach: AgNO3 and NaBH4 were used as a silver precursor and reducing agent, respectively. The properties of Ag/MMT nanocomposites were studied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSynthesis and Characterization of Organoclay from Sodium Montmorillonite and Fatty Hydroxamic AcidsWisam H. Hoidy, Mansor B. Ahmad, Emad A. Jaffar Al Mulla, Nor Azowa Bt IbrahimProblem statement: Sodium Montmorillonite (Na-MMT) has been modified via cation exchange reaction using Fatty Hydroxamic Acids (FHAs) synthesized from palm oil as a surfactant to produce organoclay which is used to prepare polymer nanocomposites. Approach: Basal spacing, functional groups identification and thermal stability of this Organo-Montmorillonite (OMMT) were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 9,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOTRANSFORMATION OF TEXTILE DYES: A BIOREMEDIAL ASPECT OF MARINE ENVIRONMENTR. S. Shertate, Prakash ThoratPresence of huge amount of salts in the wastewater of textile dyeing industry is one of the major limiting factors in the development of an effective biotreatment system for the removal of dyes from textile effluents. Large number of textile industries are located on the coastal areas due to ease of transport to the various places in world and help … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 12 Nov 2014 · 7,383 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Activity of Trilobatin and Its Inhibitory Effects on Oxidative Damage of Biological MacromoleculesYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Excessive levels of free radicals in the body cause oxidative damage to macromolecules by injuring DNA, proteins, and lipids, which leads to structural and functional defects and ultimately results in a number of illnesses. The antioxidation of trilobatin and its inhibitory activity of trilobatin on oxidative damage of biological macromolecules have not been thoroughly investigated. In this research, the effects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2023 · 5,466 accessesView PDFCite
