Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in gynecology with a high incidence. Combination therapy, eg, administration of paclitaxel followed by a platinum anticancer drug is recommended to treat ovarian cancer due to its advantages in, eg, reducing side effects and reversing (multi)drug-resistance compared to single treatment. However, the benefits of combination therapy are often compromised.

Arsenic adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and re-usability were investigated. Effects of surface-absorbed (ST-HA) and dissolved states humic acid (DHA) on the arsenic adsorption were also determined.

The results show that 69.2 ± 28.

Adsorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) ions (<0.5mg/L) onto NCPAC as a function of pH, adsorbent dose, initial arsenic concentrations, contact time, and adsorption isotherms at 7°C was investigated.

The results showed that the presence of DHA improved the adsorption capacities of Cr(VI) and its reduction product (Cr(III)) over a wide pH range (4.

The results indicated that the immobilization process introduced abundant acid functional groups.
