Characterization of hypersaline Oklahoma native microalgae cultivated in flowback and produced water: growth profile and contaminant removal
Bioprocess Biosyst Eng. 2024 Apr 8. doi: 10.1007/s00449-024-02992-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work explores the potential of three hypersaline native microalgae strains from Oklahoma, Geitlerinema carotinosum, Pseudanabaena sp., and Picochlorum oklahomensis, for simultaneous treatment of flowback (FW) and produced wastewater (PW) and the production of algal biomass. The quality of wastewater before and after treatment with these microalgae strains was evaluated and a characterization of algal biomass in terms of moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash contents was assessed. The experimental results indic...

Selenium-modified activated coke: a high-capacity and facile designed Hg < sup > 0 < /sup > adsorbent for coal-fired flue gas
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Apr 8. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32995-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe substantial amount of mercury emissions from coal-fired flue gas causes severe environmental contamination. With the Minamata Convention now officially in force, it is critical to strengthen mercury pollution control. Existing activated carbon injection technologies suffer from poor desulfurization performance and risk secondary-release risks. Therefore, considering the potential industrial application of adsorbents, we selected cost-effective and readily available activated coke (AC) as the carrier in this study. Fou...

Drinking water quality in Cooch Behar Municipality, West Bengal, India: Assessment using WQI and public perception
AbstractEffective assessment and management of groundwater quality are essential for safeguarding the integrity of freshwater resources. Cooch Behar Municipality of West Bengal has been chosen for the present study due to its reliance primarily on groundwater for drinking water. The study focuses on assessing groundwater quality in the study area, a planned city with a long history of urbanization. The primary objective is to analyze various parameters relevant to drinking water and compute the Water Quality Index (WQI) with the residents' perception. Forty water samples were collected from Cooch Behar Municipality's Publi...

Decoration of dandelion-like manganese-doped iron oxide microflowers on plasma-treated biochar for alleviation of heavy metal pollution in water
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 5:141757. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141757. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarbon-based biowaste incorporated with inorganic oxides as a composite is an enticing option to mitigate heavy metal pollution in water resources due to its more economical and efficient performance. With this in mind, we constructed manganese-doped iron oxide microflowers resembling the dandelion-like structure on the surface of cold plasma-treated carbonized rice husk (MnFe2O3/PCRH). The prepared composite exhibited 45% and 19% higher removal rates for Cu2+ and Cd2+, respectively, than the pristine CRH. The MnFe2O3/PCRH...

Is there a fast track ("Darmstrasse") for fluids in the small intestine? evidence from magnetic resonance imaging
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2024 Apr 4:114277. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114277. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe transit and distribution pattern of fluids in the small intestine is a key parameter for the dissolution and absorption of drugs. Although some information is known about the small intestinal water content after administration of fluid volumes and meals, the intestinal transit of orally ingested fluids and solutions has been barely investigated. The aim of this three-arm, cross-over, 9-subject human study was to investigate the transit of orally ingested water in the small intestine under fasting and postprandial con...
