The role of hydrogen peroxide to enhance the catalyst’s efficiency was examined. The reaction pathway of complete mineralization was investigated by monitoring the temporal evolution of reaction intermediates and low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOA) as final products in solution. These LMWOAs are oxidized eventually to inorganic ions such a nitrate, sulfate, oxalate etc, which are confirmed using GC–MS, UV–Vis and Ion Chromatographic analyses. The optimized conditions of photocatalytic degradation were obtained for degradation under different light source. The Fe-doped TiO2 showed high dye degradation efficiency under both UV (100%), visible (100%) and solar light (90%) which distinguishes Fe-doped TiO2 from materials in literature that are only efficient in particular light source for dye degradation. Furthermore, the Fe doped titania photocatalysts are stable and can maintain performance up to 6 recycle use. Reaction kinetics for UV and solar light induced degradation followed first order reaction whereas visible light degradation followed a zero-order reaction.]]> Thu 15 Sep 2022 15:32:33 AEST ]]> Parabens generate reactive oxygen species in human spermatozoa https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43347 Thu 15 Sep 2022 15:25:54 AEST ]]> Exposure, toxicity, health impacts, and bioavailability of heavy metal mixtures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30285 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:02:06 AEDT ]]> Can the mouse model successfully predict mixed metal(loid)s bioavailability in humans from contaminated soils? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51476 Thu 07 Sep 2023 10:45:46 AEST ]]> Adsorption of aqueous Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) ions by amorphous tin(VI) hydrogen phosphate: an excellent inorganic adsorbent https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29810 Pb > Zn. There is a negative correlation between the concentration of NaCl and adsorption capacity of ATHP, yet ATHP still exhibited excellent adsorption having an adsorption capacity of 19.35, 15.16, 6.425 mg/g when the concentration of NaCl was 0.6 mol/L. The free energy (E) was 12.33, 10.70, and 14.74 kJ/mol for Pb(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), respectively. An adsorption mechanism based on ion exchange between heavy metal ions and H+ in the ATHP is proposed. Furthermore, the used ATHP was regenerated by HCl solution and the adsorbent was used repeatedly.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:51 AEDT ]]> Speciation and health risk assessment of arsenic in groundwater of Punjab, Pakistan https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29268 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:17 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the mobility of polymer-stabilised zero-valent iron nanoparticles and their potential to co-transport contaminants in intact soil cores https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30122 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:58 AEDT ]]> Functional relationships of soil acidification, liming, and greenhouse gas flux https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29557 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:11 AEDT ]]> Arsenic and trace elements in groundwater, vegetables and selected food grains from middle gangetic plain-human health perspective https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29775 80%) samples found above BIS and WHO permissible limit, while 28% samples exceeded the previous WHO drinking water guideline (400 µg/L) for manganese (Mn).

TPHK-3. P. putida TPHK-1 exhibited tolerance to very high concentrations of heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, zinc and copper. The innate ability of P. putida TPHK-1, as evidenced by the amplified genes alkB1 and alkB2 that encode alkane hydroxylases, and cat12o and cat23o coding for catechol dioxygenase, in degrading diesel oil in the presence of heavy metals is far greater than that of the strains reported in the literature. Heavy metal tolerance coupled with rapid degradation of hydrocarbons, even at high concentrations, suggests that P. putida TPHK-1 has a great potential in remediating soils contaminated with mixtures of hydrocarbons and heavy metals.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:23 AEDT ]]> Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of fluorosurfactants in firefighting foams https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24551 via an assembly of dye-FS-AgNP-GO.
