Recent developments on gas–solid heterogeneous oxidation removal of elemental mercury from flue gasSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 19-47 - 2018
Wei Yang, Yusuf G. Adewuyi, Arshad Hussain, Yangxian Liu
Mercury is a toxic and persistent environmental pollutant which has been recognized as a global threat to human health and our ecosystem because mercury bio-accumulates in the food chain and can be transformed into the more neurotoxic methylmercury. Among current and emerging abatement technologies for elemental mercury in flue gas, gas–solid heterogeneous oxidation is nowadays gaining increasing ...... hiện toàn bộ
Nanocarriers for drug delivery applicationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 849-865 - 2018
Munusamy Chamundeeswari, John Jeslin, Madan Lal Verma
Nanobiotechnology research has recently provided numerous basic and applied advances in the health sector. Nanocarriers have been developed for efficient drug delivery and diagnostic tools. Nanocarrier enables an effective, targeted biomolecular interaction in order to lower side effects caused during the treatment. Here, we review the problems associated with the conventional drug development and...... hiện toàn bộ
Unflushable or missing toilet paper, the dilemma for developing communities during the COVID-19 episodeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 711-717 - 2020
Shiyi Sun, Jie Han
Unlike in developed countries, most public toilets in China do not provide toilet paper onsite and users must bring their toilet paper. Moreover, an open waste bin is placed in each user’s cubicle to collect used toilet paper and tissues. Such practices, which are common in East Asia and central America, have induced a dilemma of toilet paper disposal because some municipalities have removed waste...... hiện toàn bộ
Novel degradation products of the herbicide oxasulfuron identified by capillary electrophoresis – mass spectrometrySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 225-228 - 2006
Laura Scrano, Sabino A. Bufo, Franz Menzinger, Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin
Two new intermediates rising from the photolytic reaction of the sulfonylurea herbicide oxasulfuron have been identified in aqueous environment. The higher concentrations of the two derivatives oxetan-3-yl 2-(formilsulfamoyl) benzoate and N-(4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidin-2-yl) formamide were reached within 8 h of UV-irradiation. Here we demonstrate that an optimal separation and analysis of such compound...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis and removal of pharmaceutical residues from wastewater using membrane bioreactors: a reviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 329-343 - 2020
C. Femina Carolin, P. Senthil Kumar, G. Janet Joshiba, V. Vinoth Kumar
Pharmaceutical compounds such antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, psychotropics, human drugs, hormones, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, veterinary drugs and steroids occur widely in wastewater and drinking water. This pollution by active compounds and their metabolites is expected to increase with rising global population. Therefore, advanced monitoring and remediation techniques are needed. Here ...... hiện toàn bộ
Microwave-assisted dry reforming of methane for syngas production: a reviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1987-2019 - 2020
T. T. Phuong Pham, Kyoung S. Ro, Lyufei Chen, Devinder Mahajan, Tan Ji Siang, U. P. M. Ashik, Jun-ichiro Hayashi, Doan Pham Minh, Dai-Viet N. Vo
Abatement of emissions of greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide is crucial to reduce global warming. For that, dry reforming of methane allows to convert methane and carbon dioxide into useful synthesis gas, named ‘syngas’, a gas mixture rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. However, this process requires high temperatures of about 900 °C to activate methane and carbon dioxide becaus...... hiện toàn bộ
Safe use of Cry genes in genetically modified cropsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 239-249 - 2015
M. Rahman, Muhammad Zaman, Tayyaba Shaheen, Samra Irem, Yusuf Zafar
Genomic technologies have been used to improve cultivated crop species. For example, Bt genes such as Cry1Ac, Cry2Ab, Cry1F and Cry3Bb1 are derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil bacterium. Such genes provide protection against lepidopteran insect pests. Bt genes have been introduced in corn, cotton, soybean, rice, potato and canola. Genetically modified (GM)-cotton, containing the Cry1Ac gen...... hiện toàn bộ
Green synthesis of symmetrical N, N′-disubstituted thiourea derivatives in water using solar energySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 177-182 - 2013
Priyanka P. Kumavat, Asha D. Jangale, Dipak R. Patil, Kiran S. Dalal, Jyotsna S. Meshram, Dipak S. Dalal
Thioureas are of importance in medicinal chemistry due to their biological activities such as antituberculosis, anti-HIV, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiarrhythmic, fungicide, herbicides, rodenticides and as phenoloxidase enzymatic inhibitors. Treatment of primary and secondary amines with thiophosgene is the common method of making symmetrical disubstituted thioureas. However, t...... hiện toàn bộ
