Water contamination resulting from coal spills is one of the largest environmental problems affecting communities in Appalachia Region United States. This slurry contains potentially toxic substances, such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and cleaning chemicals, its leakage into water bodies (lakes, rivers, aquifers) can lead to adverse health effects not only for freshwater plant life but also humans. study focused on two major experiments. The first experiment involved use biochar create a...
The global water crisis growth has led to a tremendous increase in membrane technology research. Membranes are favored over many other technologies for treatment because, principle, they require no chemical additives and can be used isothermally at low temperatures. that reject contaminants salts, produce adequate permeate flux values, minimal cleaning highly demanded. However, most synthesized membranes on the market have associated problems, such as fouling; inverse relationships between...
Metal oxide semiconductor-activated photocatalysis has become a promising sustainable technology for the mitigation of emerging organic pollutants. The rational design photocatalyst heterojunction allows degradation broad range contaminants. Herein, we optimized hydrothermal approaches facial synthesis well-defined BiOBr/Cu2O photocatalysts. Tuning condition enhanced interfacing BiOBr and Cu2O nanostructures in photocatalyst, as confirmed by STEM, TEM, XPS, XRD, BET analysis....
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a toxin produced by cyanobacteria that can bloom in freshwater supplies. This study describes new strategy for remediation of MC-LR combines linearization the using microcystinase A, MlrA, enzyme with rejection linearized byproducts membrane filtration. The MlrA was expressed Escherichia coli (E. coli) and purified via His-tag 95% purity. Additionally, composite membranes made polysulfone 5% sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) were fabricated used to filter...
<title>Abstract</title> Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are formed via the interaction between Natural Organic Matter (NOM) and disinfectants, such as chlorine, have been linked to many health issues liver, kidney, central nervous system problems, reproductive effects, well some forms of cancer. One method address DBP issue is remove NOM, so that precursors not available at time chlorination form DBPs. Two common treatment options for NOM removal include adsorption using activated carbon...
