Article Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the removal of arsenic (As) and chromium (Cr) from aqueous solution using electrocoagulation (EC) technique. Batch EC studies were performed using iron electrodes to evaluate the influence of various experimental parameters on the removal of metal ions. The parameters were initial pH (pH(0)), electrolysis time (t), initial concentration (C(0)), electrode gap (g), stirring rate (r) and current density (j). Effect of pH(0) was studied in the range 2.0 to 8.0 while C(0) was varied from 10 to 100 mg/L. As and Cr removal by EC was governed by the chemical dissolution of iron, and the formation of metal-hydrous ferric oxide complexes, which in turn was strongly, influenced by pH(0) and j. Optimum value of pH(0) and j for As and Cr removal were found to be 4.0 and 2.0; and 75 and 50 A/m(2), respectively. Removal efficiency increased with decrease in the value of C(0) and g. The r value of 100 rpm produced sufficient agitation for the proper agglomeration of flocs and optimum removal of ions.

Japonica is considered one of the better tasting varieties, so it is important to balance the quality and taste of japonica rice produced by moderate processing. This study analyzed the changes in bioactive components, heavy metal elements, and sensory quality of northern japonica rice after gradient milling, and constructed a comprehensive quality evaluation model for japonica rice with different degrees of milling. The results showed that as the degree of milling (DOM) increased from 0% to 10%, the bioactive components in japonica rice decreased, with dietary fiber (3.

The Emet boric acid production plant in Türkiye produces boric acid from the reaction of colemanite (CaBO·5HO) with sulphuric acid (HSO). Sulphate, arsenic (III + V) and boron are released with the plant wastewater to the wastewater dam. This study aims to treat this boric acid production plant wastewater using calcium hydroxide in a batch reactor.

Arsenite (As) is toxic to all organisms due to its ability to tightly bind exposed thiols within cells. An important As resistance mechanism in prokaryotes involves proteins encoded by the operon. A central component of the operon in many bacteria is the cytoplasmic ATPase, ArsA, which orchestrates a series of nucleotide-dependent handoffs, starting with the capture of As by the ArsD metallochaperone and culminating in its removal from the cell by the ArsB efflux pump.

Environmental heavy metal pollutants are highly toxic and are usually of human origin. Studies have suggested a link between cadmium and arsenic carcinogenesis and geographical location. This review was conducted to explore the methodologies that have been used to determine the risk of carcinogenesis as it relates to cadmium & arsenic exposure as well as geographical location.
