Approach: The different concentrations viz. 25, 50 and 75 mg mL-1 of aqueous as well as ethanolic extract solutions of roots of Ficus benghalensis and Ficus racemosa were tested … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2012 · 14,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval and Recovery of Lead from Aqueous Solution by Low Cost MediaLucia Pappalardo, Fawwaz Jumean, Naser AbdoProblem statement: To remove Pb(II) from wastewater using local UAE sand and then to recover the removed Pb(II). Approach: Removal efficiency of Pb(II) from wastewater was investigated using white, yellow and red United Arab Emirates sand with pore sizes < 300 μm. Two methods were employed: batch equilibrium and column filtration. In the batch equilibrium study, the effect of sand … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Application of Ionic Liquids in Catholic Coupling of AcetophenonePo-Chung ChengProblem statement: The cathodic coupling of acetophnone was carried out in aqueous solutions containing sodium sulfate and 1-Octyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloride ([OMIM]Cl) as supporting electrolytes. [OMIM]Cl is an ionic liquid, also serving as a co-solvent to prevent the deposition of products during electrolysis. The products are extracted with ether after electrolyses. Approach: It is shown in this study that the recycling of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
