Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fishes from Taihu Lake, China
(Elsevier, 2007)The Cr, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb contents were determined in Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, Carassius auratus Linnaeus, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Aristichthys nobilis, which were caught from Meiliang Bay, Taihu Lake, a large, shallow ... -
Biodegradation of bloodmeal-based thermoplastics in green-waste composting
(Springer, 2011)Polymers that are compostable and manufactured from renewable resources have gained significant importance in recent years. The objective of this work was to assess the biodegradability of bloodmeal-based thermoplastics ... -
Effect of chemical and biological degumming on the adsorption of heavy metal by cellulose xanthogenates prepared from Eichhornia crassipes
(Elsevier, 2012)Cellulose xanthogenates, derived from the straw of Eichhornia crassipes, were prepared as adsorbents for heavy metals by CS₂ sulfonation and magnesium substitution after degumming with alkali, self-isolated A₁ strain and ... -
Metal adsorption by quasi cellulose xanthogenates derived from aquatic and terrestrial plant materials
(Elsevier, 2011)The FTIR spectra, SEM-EDXA and copper adsorption capacities of the raw plant materials, alkali treated straws and cellulose xanthogenate derivatives of Eichhornia crassipes shoot, rape straw and corn stalk were investigated. ... -
A novel perforated electrode flow through cell design for chlorine generation
(Springer, 2010)Chlorination remains a predominant method for disinfecting drinking water. Electrogeneration of chlorine has the potential to become the favoured method of chlorine production if costs can be lowered and chlorine generation ...
