Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleInvestigation of Methylene Blue Dye Adsorption from Polluted Water Using Oleander Plant (Al Defla) Tissues as SorbentRajab Abu-El-Halawa, Sami A. Zabin, Hamzah H. Abu-SittahThe main purpose of this research was to investigate the ability of Oleander plant (Al Defla) tissues to adsorb Methylene Blue (MB) dye from polluted water. The experiments were carried out through batch-adsorption technique to investigate the influence of the following experimental parameters on adsorption process namely, adsorbent quantity, MB initial concentration, adsorbent particles size, ionic strength, pH and temperature. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 Jun 2016 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePart I: Removing of Zn(II) from Polluted Water: Determination of Precipitation Limit Of Zn(II) Ion With 2-Hydroxy-1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic AcidFatmir Faiku, Haxhere Faiku, Arben Haziri et al.Problem statement: The goal of this research was to investigate the condition for removing of Zn cation from water, through precipitation method with 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid as ligand. Approach: In this study we examined the precipitation of Zn(II) ion in water solutions of ZnSO4 × 7H2O (1×10-2 and 5×10-3 mol L-1) with 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid (1×10-1-1×10-3 mol L-1) in constant ionic strength … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhytomanagement of Heavy Metal Lead by Fodder Grass Lasiurus scindicus in Polluted Soil and Water of Dravyawati RiverParul Sharma, Sonali PandeySoil and water pollution with heavy metals is a worldwide issue and is still unresolved. Phytoremediation is a new and rising technology that applies plants for cleanup lightly contaminated soils and water. Lasiurus scindicus have been chosen in this work for decontaminating soil and water from heavy metal (lead). This plant was grown in contaminated soil and water over a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
