The purpose of this study was to apply the experimental Box-Behnken design (BBD) to evaluate the effect and, therefore, the optimal values of three chosen factors on the efficiency of the UV/HO process to decolorize Ponceau S (PS) aqueous solutions. ...
Textile industry wastewaters, which cause serious problems in the environment and human health, include synthetic dyes, complex organic pollutants, surfactants, and other toxic chemicals and therefore must be removed by advanced treatment methods. De...
Semen quality assessed by sperm count and sperm cell characteristics such as morphology and motility, is considered to be the main determinant of men's reproductive health. Therefore, sperm cell selection is vital in assisted reproductive technology ...
