    Abstract: The present work concerns the study of the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and tartrazine (TAR) in aqueous solution by the raw clay (AB) and bridged clay (AP) of "Boboyo". Studies show that the adsorption of these two dyes on both adsorbents is very fast. The adsorption equilibrium time is 25 minutes for AB for both adsorbates and 15 and 30 minut... Show More

    Abstract: Sulfur-containing substances with reducing properties in natural water bodies are partners in the reactions with active oxygen forms (ROS) and so are their specific antipodes. The ratio of counterflows of an oxidizer and a reducing agent sets the redox potential of the aquatic environment, is responsible for its self-purification and ultimately for... Show More

    Abstract: A molecule of oxygen absorbing solar ultraviolet-C radiation is photo-dissociated into two atoms of oxygen that fly apart at high velocity, converting kinetic energy of oscillation of the molecular bond directly and completely into kinetic energy of linear motion of the oxygen atoms. This increases air temperature. Two oxygen atoms can then collide... Show More
