Competitive sorption of Cu(II) and Eu(III) ions on olive-cake carbon in aqueous solutions - A potentiometric study
(2010)The competitive sorption of Cu(II) and Eu(III) ions from aqueous solutions by olive-cake carbon, has been investigated by potentiometry at pH 6, I = 0.1 M NaClO4, 25°C and under normal atmospheric conditions. Evaluation ...

Computational predictions of the tensile properties of electrospun fibre meshes: Effect of fibre diameter and fibre orientation
(2008)The mechanical properties of biomaterial scaffolds are crucial for their efficacy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. At the microscopic scale, the scaffold must be sufficiently rigid to support cell adhesion, ...

Hydrophilic olive cake extracts: Characterization by physicochemical properties and Cu(II) complexation
(2009)Disposed olive cake generates hydrophilic components that can be mobilized in the aquatic environment. This paper deals with the characterization of such components, isolated by alkaline extraction. It is shown that these ...

Redox chemistry of sulphate and uranium in a phosphogypsum tailings dump
(2010)The present study aims to assess the effect of redox conditions existing within the tailings dump on the stability of phosphogypsum (e.g. sulphate reduction) and uranium(VI). Phosphogypsum sampling and in-situ measurements ...

Spectroscopic investigations on the effect of humic acid on the formation and solubility of secondary solid phases of Ln2(CO3) 3
(2011)The formation of secondary Ln(III) solid phases (e.g., Nd 2(CO3)3 and Sm2(CO3) 3) was studied as a function of the humic acid concentration in 0.1 mol/L NaClO4 aqueous solution in the neutral pH range (5-6.5). The solid ...

Studies on the interaction of olive cake and its hydrophylic extracts with polyvalent metal ions (Cu(II), Eu(III)) in aqueous solutions
(2009)The paper presents and discusses the chemical affinity of two different forms of natural organic matter (e.g. in solid (SOM) and soluble form (DOM)) for Cu2+ and Eu3+ ions. In the this study SOM is represented by olive ...
