Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Removal of Methyl Red from Aqueous Solutions Using Banana Pseudostem FibersMas Rosemal H. Mas Haris, Kathiresan SathasivamProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of methyl red, a mutagenic monoazo dye, from various aqueous solutions using banana pseudostem fibers of the size 212-350 micron. Approach: The parameters studied were the effect of pH, amount of adsorbent, contact time, concentration of adsorbate and agitation speed. Results: Equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlasmid Mediated Tolerance and Removal of Heavy Metals by Enterobacter spBahig El-DeebProblem statement: The role of plasmid in the heavy metal resistance and accumulation by endophytic bacteria was investigated. Approach: The experimental results showed that high level plasmid mediated Cd2+ and Zn2+ resistance in this strain is due to decreased Cd2+ and/or Zn2+ uptake/accumulation by resistance strain. Results: Based on the fact that subsequent plasmid curing experiments demonstrated that the ability … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemoval of Dye from Textile Wastewater Using Plant Oils Under Different pH and Temperature ConditionsA.S. Mahmoud, Abdel E. Ghaly, M.S. BrooksThe effectiveness of five plant oils (cottonseed, olive, canola sunflower and used cooking oil) for the removal of dye from textile wastewater was evaluated. The study revealed that the dye removal efficiency increased as the temperature was increased. Under low pH, both the oil and dye split into two components each. Neither one of the oil components joined with either … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,351 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison Between Biological Treatment and Chemical Precipitation for Nitrogen Removal from Old Landfill LeachateLong Tengrui, Anas F. Al-Harbawi, He Qiang, Zhai JunThe study reports the results of a laboratory scale investigation aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of mature municipal landfill leachate treatment by a biological stage (used SBBR as a biological treatment) and Chemical precipitation (Used MAP precipitation (magnesium ammonium phosphate)) to study the nitrogen removal capabilities for treatment of sanitary landfill leachate containing high ammonia concentration, and the comparison between … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemoval of Pb+2 Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption on Kaolinite ClayWaid Omar, Hossam Al-ItawiThe adsorption potential of the kaolinite clay for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions was tested. The measured adsorption isotherms at the different temperatures 298.15 K, 308.15 K and 318.15 K were found to be perfectly fit to the Langmuir isotherm equation. A high adsorption capacity was calculated. An increase in the retention capacity with increasing temperature was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDye Removal from Aqueous Solution by using Adsorption on Treated Sugarcane BagasseS. Saiful Azhar, A. Ghaniey Liew, D. Suhardy et al.The use of cheap and ecofriendly adsorbents has been studied as an alternative substitution of activated carbon for the removal dyes from wastewater. Adsorbents prepared from sugarcane baggase-an agro industries waste was successfully used to remove the methyl red from an aqueous solution in a batch reactor. This study investigates the potential use of sugarcane baggase, pretreated with formaldehyde (PCSB) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 9,345 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWavelet Shrinkage in Noise Removal of Hyperspectral Remote Sensing DataHelmi Z.M. Shafri, Paul M. MatherIt is common in hyperspectral remote sensing studies to perform analysis based on derivative spectroscopy. However, this technique is particularly sensitive to noise in the data. Thus, noise removal is essential before any derivative analysis. Various methods of noise removal are described in the literature. A newly developed method based on the wavelet transform appears promising, though there is little … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Removal of 4-Chlorophenol and Dichloroacetic Acid in Water Using Ti-, Zr- and Ti/Zr-Pillared Bentonites as PhotocatalystMohamed Houari, Mohamed Saidi, Djamel Tabet et al.Heterogeneous photocatalysis could be alternative remediation technology for water since it does not need the addition of any chemicals and it is suitable for treating low concentrations of pollutant. Although the TiO2 Degussa P 25 is most used photocatalyst its photonic efficiency still low and its recovery from water is considered as an awkward process. In this study the effect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemoval of Mercury from chlor-alkali Industry Wastewater using Acetobacter xylinum CelluloseA. Rezaee, J. Derayat, S. B. Mortazavi et al.In this study, the removal of mercury ions by cellulose of Acetobacter xylinum was investigated in the synthetic and chlor-alkali wastewater. Biofilms of Acetobacter xylinum were grown in laboratory column bioreactors.
