This study was carried out with the aim of using three processes of soil washing, electrofenton and biological leaching method in order to rehabilitate the soil contaminated with lead and phenanthrene around the south Tehran oil refinery. The variables examined in this study are the amount of soil...

A series of flow-cell experiments were performed to investigate the performance of cosmetic rhamnolipid surfactant flooding on the relationship between source zone mass removal and mass flux reduction for pool-dominated DNAPL TCE source zones in heterogeneous porous media. The results were also...

Contamination of groundwater by chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE, tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1DCE) is a widespread problem that can seriously threaten human health and the environment. These compounds are often present as dense nonaqueous phase liquid...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate sulfate modified Algerian cork powder (SDS-ACP) with interesting biosorption capacity was prepared for dye removal from aqueous media. The decolorization performance of SDS-ACP was studied using methylene blue (MB) as a model dye. Experiments were conducted in batch sysytem...

Methylene blue is one of the most widely used dyes in various industries such as textiles and dyeing which, due to toxicity, causes several environmental problems as well as difficulties in wastewater treatment process. Therefore, many studies have been carried out on the removal of the dye from...

The decomposition of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), which is a dangerous and anionic surfactant, was investigated by the electro/Fe 2+/persulfate process from aqueous solutions. The activation of persulfate anion and production of active radicals were performed by means of heat, UV and iron...
