The production of phosphoric acid from natural phosphate rock by the wet process gives rise
to an industrial by-product called phosphogypsum (PG). About 5tons of PG are generated …

Zebrafish are teleosts (bony fish) that share with mammals a common ancestor belonging to
the phylum Osteichthyes, from which their endoskeletal systems have been inherited …

Due to the adverse effects of mercury on human health and the environment, restrictive
legislations and world-wide common efforts are now under way to reduce both the supply …

An investigation into the use of sludge, a by-product of the steel industry, as an adsorbent for
the removal of heavy metals from liquid effluents was carried out. Gases produced in the …

The thermal behaviour of chitosan was studied by means of thermogravimetry, mass
spectrometry and infrared spectrometry. Kinetic parameters were obtained by advanced …

NaP1, SOD, and ANA zeolites were synthesized from a hazardous aluminum waste as main
aluminosilicate source by a one-step hydrothermal synthesis. This allowed the total …

Fine particle zinc ferrite powders (ZnFe2O4) were synthesized by co-precipitation of a bi-
ionic Fe3+/Zn2+ solution with 1 M n-butylamine at low temperature. Ferric nitrate and ferrous …

The copper corrosion rate and products originated by the action of formic and acetic acid
vapours at a 100% relative humidity were studied. Copper specimens were exposed to …

Coal acid mine drainage (AMD) contaminates natural water to form mine-impacted water
(MIW), which is characterized by high levels of acidity, sulfate, and metallic ions. This study …

In recent papers it has been shown that organic vapor acids, such as formic and acetic
acids, play an important role in the atmospheric corrosion of copper, even at low …
