The procedure and the adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Hg(II) ions from aqueous media by thiol funcionalized CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles

The adsorption behaviour of Pb2+ and Hg2+ ions on magnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles functionalised with 3-mercaptopropyl trimetoxysilane (MPTMS) were studied, to obtain thiol (-SH) active groups on the CoFe2O4 surface.

Organizacija mednrodnega simpozija "Dynamics of Biogeochemical Systems"

The "22nd International Symposium on Environmental Biogeochemistry” was organized by Department of Environmental Sciences, JSI in collaboration with the Marine Biological Station of the National Institute of Biology in Piran, September 28 – October 2, 2015 (www.iseb22.ijs.si). The International Association of Environmental Biogeochemistry - ISEB organizes these symposiums every two years for more than thirty years. ISEB strived to bring together scientists from a range of disciplines relating to biogeochemistry in various fields including soil science, microbial ecology and marine, lacustrine and atmospheric research. More than 100 participants from 23 countries attended the symposium. Strong international representation with six invited speakers and 52 oral and 54 poster presentations was delivered over the four days of symposium. All research groups of the project L1-5446 presented their results at the symposium.
