The surface of the sand microfiltration membrane, with average pore diameter of 0.9 μm, was
chemically modified to change its hydrophilic character into hydrophobic by grafting with 1H…

Ceramic microfiltration membranes have been successfully elaborated on tubular microporous
supports by slip casting process using natural Turkish zeolite mineral as the starting …

This work aims to determine the optimized ultrafiltration conditions for industrial wastewater
treatment loaded with oil and heavy metals generated from an electroplating industry for …

High cost of high-purity materials is one of the major factors that limit the application of
ceramic membranes. Consequently, focus has been shifted to using natural low cost materials …

The natural Turkish zeolite has been modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)
for the elimination of fluoride (F − ) from aqueous solutions. The parent natural zeolite (…

Purpose Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a large group of diseases characterized by
susceptibility to not only recurrent infections but also autoimmune diseases and …

Introduction Febrile seizures (FSs) are the most common type of seizures seen in children.
