In the present study, to evaluate the oxidation quality of fish meal stored at refrigerator temperature for 6 months, a colorimetric nano-sensor aminated graphene oxide - bromophenol blue based on Whatman paper was used. The results showed that the amount of moisture increased from 7.19% to 9.37% and ash content increased from 7.29% to 8.04% during storage (P <0.05). The amount of changing in fat and protein contents showed that fat content decreased from 12.87% to 10.53% and protein content decreased from 54.51% to 52.37% and showed decrease procedure during the storage period (P <0.05). Peroxide value (PV) increased during the period, and the maximum amount of that was at the end of the storage period with 6.1 meq O2 / kg lipid (P <0.05).
The role of slope aspect in erodibility of Ghachsaran and Aghajari formationsExtended Abstract Introduction:The erodibility of watershed area is a function of several factor, one of these factors is topography. Including main topography features is slope aspect of which directly or with the effect on other environmental factors is caused changes in soil hydrological processes particularly the potential for runoff and sediment production. Soil erosion is the most important environmental factor in the world that adversely affects all-natural ecosystems as well as those under human management. Although soil erosion has existed throughout history, it has been intensified in recent years due to improper land use. Environmental factors, such as
The purpose of the current research is to investigate the adsorption process behavior of magnetic nitrogen doped graphene (MNG) prepared from the orange peel in the adsorption of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) from liquid solution in batch experiments. The characteristics results of VSM, FTIR, SEM, AFM, Raman, elemental analysis and BET surface area analysis revealed the successful synthesis nano adsorbent. The effective factors on adsorption performance were including adsorbent dosage, temperature, contact time, pH and initial concentration of SDBS. The Maximum adsorption capacity for SDBS is computed to be 556 mg/g at 45◦ C and pH of 3. The adsorption process of SDBS was found that tted well with the Langmuir isotherm model and
Heavy metals and quasi-metals are among the stable and decomposing elements that threaten their health and human health if there are high concentrations in aquatic tissues. The aim of this study was to measure the level of mercury metal contamination in the diet of two species of fish in Anzali wetland with international standards and also to investigate the correlation between age, weight and diet with the level of metal contamination. The present study was conducted in 2017 to measure mercury metal contamination in the muscle tissue of carp and duck in Anzali International Wetland in Guilan Province. Fish samples were collected from three parts of east, center and west of Anzali wetland. To determine the total mercury concentration, LECO
Recent technologies have been directed toward the use ofinexpensive carbon sources like agricultural wastes and wastewaters in order to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in a large commercial and industrial scaleand to reducehazardous pollutants. This study aimed toproduce poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) from wastewater of the beer brewery industry using Cupriavidus necator. For this purpose, the experiments were performed at three steps to evaluate the effect ofC/N and C/Pratiosand industrial-grade maltose on biopolymer production. The batch system was chosen for the fermentation process and the alteration of bacterial growth and NH4+-N and PO43−-P consumption were monitored at24 h intervals.Maximum biopolymer productionof 1.98 g L
Human exposure to mercury (Hg) mainly occurs through consumption of aquatics, especially fish. In aquatic systems, the bioaccumulation of Hg across trophic levels could be altered by invasive species through changing community composition. The present study is aimed at measuring total mercury (T-Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in non-native (redbelly tilapia (Tilapia zillii)) and native (Benni (Mesopotamichthys sharpeyi) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio)) fish species throughout Shadegan International Wetland and comparing health risk of their mercury contents to the local population. The concentrations were measured using a direct mercury analyzer (DMA 80). The average values of T-Hg and MeHg for native fishes were 19.8 and 10.
The main objective of this work was to synthesis a novel magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with β-cyclodextrin and use it to refine transformer oil contaminated with high concentration of PCBs. Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin modified Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles (CMCD-Fe3O4@SiO2) were fabricated by grafting onto the core-shell silica magnetic nanoparticles surface using carbodiimide.

The aim of the present research is to investigate the efficiency of surface-modified magnetic nanoparticles for photocatalytic degradation of PCBs from transformer oil. Therefore, CMCD-Fe3O4@TiO2 was successfully produced via grafting of carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) onto the core-shell titania magnetic nanoparticles surface. The photocatalytic efficiency of CMCD-Fe3O4@TiO2 for degradation of PCBs was systematically evaluated using an experimental design and the process parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The central composite design (CCD) with four experimental parameters was used successfully in the modeling and optimization of photocatalytic efficiency in removing PCBs from transformer oil. ANOVA a
Mercury (Hg) is one of the water pollutants and its removal from the aqueous environment is important. The major goal of this study was to remove the Hg (II) from aqueous solution by synthesizing a modified nanochitosan with carbon disulfide functional groups. Nanochitosan was synthesized using citric acid as an environmentally friendly crosslinking agent, and then it was modified with a carbon disulfide functional group. The characteristics of synthesized nanocomposite were studied by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Batch adsorption experiments of Hg (II) in metal ion solution were conducted under
Nickel (Ni) as a heavy metal due to its toxicity should be removed from wastewater and aquatic environments using efficient technology.
