Novel data on genotoxic assessment of bismuth sulfide nanoflowers in common carp Cyprinus carpio.

The environmental impacts and risks of nanomaterials that are commonly used in different technologies are of great concern as their toxic effects on the aquatic ecosystem remain unclear. In this study, bismuth sulfide (BiS) nanoflowers (nfs) were synthesized using a microwave-based hydrothermal process, and their genotoxic effects were investigated in the common carp, Cyprinus carpio. BiS nanoflowers were applied to common carp for 96 h.

Preparation and characterization of activated carbons from Lemon Pulp for oxytetracycline removal.

This study aims to remove oxytetracycline (OTC) that harms the ecosystem, with activated carbon (LPAC) obtained from Lemon Pulp (LP). Characterization and properties of LPAC were analyzed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and point of zero charge (pH) analyses. BET surface area, pore volume and pH of LPAC produced by carbonization at 400 °C and activation with KOH at 800 °C were obtained as 1333.

Adsorption kinetics of malachite green onto activated carbon prepared from Tunçbilek lignite.

Adsorbent (T3K618) has been prepared from Tunçbilek lignite by chemical activation with KOH. Pore properties of the activated carbon such as BET surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, and pore diameter were characterized by t-plot based on N2 adsorption isotherm. The N2 adsorption isotherm of malachite green on T3K618 is type I.
