Polymeric resins containing modified starch as environmentally friendly adsorbents for dyes and metal ions removal from wastewater.

Effective removal of organic and inorganic impurities by adsorption technique requires the preparation of new materials characterized by low production costs, significant sorption capacity, and reduced toxicity, derived from natural and renewable sources. To address these challenges, new adsorbents have been developed in the form of polymer microspheres based on ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and vinyl acetate (VA) (EGDMA/VA) containing starch (St) modified with boric acid (B) and dodecyl-S-thiuronium dodecylthioacetate (DiTDTA) for the removal of dyes: C.I.

Phenoxyacid pesticide adsorption on activated carbon - Equilibrium and kinetics.

The adsorption of herbicides belonging to the group of halogenated phenoxyacids on the activated carbon was studied. They are differentiated in terms of quantity and type of functional groups (such as chloride, bromide, fluoride) and their position on an aromatic ring. The experimental equilibrium data were analyzed using adsorption isotherm equations taking into account energetic heterogeneity of the adsorption systems.

The use of halloysite functionalized with isothiouronium salts as an organic/inorganic hybrid adsorbent for uranium(VI) ions removal.

Elimination of U(VI) from nuclear wastes and from the underground water near the uranium mines is the serious problem. Therefore search for new sorbents for U(VI) is still a big challenge for the scientists. This paper investigates of U(VI) ions sorption on halloysite modified with the isothiouronium salts: S-dodecaneisothiouronium bromide (ligand 1), S,S'-dodecane-1,12-diylbis(isothiouronium bromide) (ligand 2), S-hexadecaneisothiouronium chloride (ligand 3), S,S'-naphthalene-1,4-diylbis(methylisothiouronium) dichloride (ligand 4), and S,S'-2,5-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diylbis(methylisothiouronium) dichloride (ligand 5).

[The potential of ultrasonographic detection of vascular pathology of the bowel in children with portal hypertension syndrome].

Complex ultrasonography gives the objective information about the structure of liver and spleen, as well as about the blood flow in the bowel vessels. Color flow mapping makes it possible to determine the grade of the blood filling of the bowel wall in children with portal hypertension syndrome (PHS). We have provided the qualitative indices of intestinal blood flow in healthy children and in children with PHS.

[Echographic signs of biliary atresia].

The assessment of echographic features of biliary atresia was conducted in 65 newborn children ageing up to 3 mo. Their characteristic variants were revealed: the absence or reduction in size of gall-bladder, the presence of hyperechogenic triangular formation in V. portae bifurcation (the symptom of "triangular cicatrix"); the thickening of anterior wall of V.
