    Abstract: The release of potentially toxic elements either by anthropogenic or industrial activities has deteriorated water quality rendering water bodies unsuitable. It was on this basis that readily available agricultural waste was used to treat simulated wastewater containing the potentially toxic element (Ni and Co). Adsorption studies of Co and Ni from ...

    Abstract: Nano-technology (NT) and nano-materials (NMs) has attracted considerable scientific attention, due to the new potential uses of nano-particles (NPs), which can change the concrete world. There is a great interest in replacing a long time used materials in concrete structure by NMs to improve the different properties of concrete. In this study, the ... Show More
