Fate processes of chlorobenzenes in soil and potential remediation strategies: A review
(Elsevie, 2017-06-30)
Abstract Chlorobenzenes (CBs) are a group of organic pollutants that pose a high
environmental risk due to their toxicity, persistence and possible transfer in the food chain.
Available data in literature show that CBs ...
Triterpenes from Elaeodendron schweinfurthianum and Their Antimicrobial Activities against Crop Pathogens
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2017-01-26)
Phytochemical evaluation of Elaeodendron schweinfurthianum (Loes) extracts led to the
isolation of nine compounds which were identified as 3-oxofriedelane (1), 3α-
hydroxyfriedelane (2), 3-oxo-29-hydroxyfriedelane (3), ...

The mechanism of 2-chlorobiphenyl oxidative degradation by nanoscale zero-valent iron in the presence of dissolved oxygen
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-11-01)
It has recently been demonstrated that the addition of nanoscale zero-valent iron
(nZVI) to oxygen-containing water or soil aquifers results in the oxidation of organic
compounds. However, there has been little insight ...
Evaluation of Fish Processing and Preservation Systems along the Shores of Lake Victoria towards Enhancement of Sun Drying Technology
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2017)
Fish products play an important role in human diet due to peculiar lipid composition. In Kenya Lake Victoria is an important source of fresh water fish contributing over 90% of the national fish production. The Lake Victoria ...
Single and competitive removal of sulfachloropyridazine and sulfadimethoxine onto natural kaolinite clay: kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics studies
(2017)
In this study, local untreated clay was tested for its ability to adsorb sulfonamides, namely, sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) and
sulfadimethoxine (SDM) from synthetic wastewater by batch equilibration. The time-dependent ...
Efficient removal of lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions using methyl-β-cyclodextrin modified graphene oxide
(Springer International Publishing, 2017-11-01)
Graphene oxide (GO) and graphene oxide modified with methyl-β-cyclodextrin denoted as GO-mβCD were prepared and applied as adsorbents to determine the adsorption characteristics of Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The ...
An investigation of MHD Flows of Nanofluid over an oscillating surface with Joule Heating
(International Scientific Press, 2017)
The present study aims at investigating unsteady hydromagnetic flow of viscous
incompressible, conducting nanofluid over an infinite oscillating surface with
Joule heating. The governing equations involved are transformed ...
Hormonal correlates of natal dispersal and rank attainment in wild male baboons
(Academic Press, 2017-08-01)
In many mammals, maturational milestones such as dispersal and the attainment of adult dominance rank mark stages in the onset of reproductive activity and depend on a coordinated set of hormonal and socio-behavioral ...
