Erratum to: Nanoscale zero-valent iron flakes for groundwater treatment [PDF]

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2016
The original article has been published inadvertently with some errors. Corrected and supporting information is given below. 25 mL of 6 mM sodium boron hydride (NaBH4) was used for the investigations of coatings. The start concentration of iopromide solutions for the reactivity comparison of different particle batches was 2 g/ L (2.5 mmol/L).

Synthesizing polyethersulphone membranes with hybrid iron/nickel nanoparticles for dyes removal: An efficient biogenesis approach

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Industrial wastewater contamination by azo dyes poses a significant environmental challenge. This study reports the green synthesis of bimetallic iron/nickel (Fe/Ni) nanoparticles using moringa leaf extract, which acted as both a reducing and capping agent, and their incorporation into polyethersulphone (PES) membranes to produce eco‐friendly ...
