Treatment and Reuse of Industrial Wastewater Using Reverse Osmosis System

(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh-Kaleybar F., Emamifar M., Bagheri M.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
From a few years ago, using reverse osmosis in water refinery and desalination, in order to provide clean water for necessary requirements has been considered as a common method. In the current study, the reverse osmosis, in the water refinery process of Miyaneh steel factory (northwest of Iran)...Read more

Biodegradation of anthracene by an Antarctic fungal strain a member of genus Alternaria

Gerginova M., Stoyanova K., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
By the aim to characterize the ability of an isolated from Antarctic soils fungal strain termed Alternaria maritima AL10 to degrade anthracene as sole carbon sources at different temperature conditions (23°C and 10°C), research has performed. The results from GC-MS analysis have shown that the...Read more

EXTRACTION AND DETERMINATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS ADSORBED INTO MICROPLASTICS

Santana-Viera S., Montesdecoa-Esponda S., Torres-Padrón M., (Corresponding) Sosa-Ferrera Z., Santana-Rodríguez J.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more

QSight-based method for the detection and quantification of polar contaminants in drinking water

(Corresponding) Mattern D., Stefan E., Becker T., Garaguso I.
Topic: 
Drinking water safety
An analytical method covering various difficult polar contaminats such as chlorate, bromate, bromide, glyphosate and AMPA was successfully developed utilizing direct injection and ion exchange columns. Linearity could be obtained for each compound, with a dynamic range of 2-3 magnitudes and...Read more
