01 Feb 2017TL;DR: A review of membrane filtration, ion exchange, ion-exchange, adsorption, chemical precipitation, nanotechnology treatments, electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes are discussed in this article.
Abstract: Heavy metals like arsenic, copper, cadmium, chromium, nickel, zinc, lead, and mercury are major pollutants of fresh water reservoirs because of their toxic, non-biodegradable, and persistent nature. The industrial growth is the major source of heavy metals introducing such pollutants into different segments of the environment including air, water, soil, and biosphere. Heavy metals are easily absorbed by fishes and vegetables due to their high solubility in the aquatic environments. Hence, they may accumulate in the human body by means of the food chain. Various methods have been developed and used for water and wastewater treatment to decrease heavy metal concentrations. These technologies include membrane filtration, ion-exchange, adsorption, chemical precipitation, nanotechnology treatments, electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes. In this review, the methods as well as their mechanisms and efficiency are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ZrO2-based nanofluids on the wettability alteration of a carbonate reservoir rock was experimentally studied by measuring the contact angles.
Abstract: Wettability alteration is an important method to increase oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. Chemical agents like surfactants are known as wettability modifiers in carbonate systems. However, the effectiveness of these agents can be increased by the addition of chemicals such as polymers, ionic materials, and nanoparticles. The impacts of nanoparticles on the wettability of carbonate systems have not been reported yet, and it is still in its infancy. In this work, the effect of ZrO2-based nanofluids on the wettability alteration of a carbonate reservoir rock was experimentally studied. Several nanofluids were made composed of ZrO2 nanoparticles and mixtures of nonionic surfactants. The effect of nanofluids on the wettability of carbonate samples were investigated by measuring the contact angles, and it was shown that designed nanofluids could significantly change the wettability of the rock from a strongly oil-wet to a strongly water-wet condition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images an...

TL;DR: The present experiments tested the importance of circular models describing motivational interconnections between values and personal goals by examining how value confrontation and priming methods influence values and value-consistent behaviors throughout the entire value system.
Abstract: Circular models of values and goals suggest that some motivational aims are consistent with each other, some oppose each other, and others are orthogonal to each other. The present experiments tested this idea explicitly by examining how value confrontation and priming methods influence values and value-consistent behaviors throughout the entire value system. Experiment 1 revealed that change in 1 set of social values causes motivationally compatible values to increase in importance, whereas motivationally incompatible values decrease in importance and orthogonal values remain the same. Experiment 2 found that priming security values reduced the better-than-average effect, but priming stimulation values increased it. Similarly, Experiments 3 and 4 found that priming security values increased cleanliness and decreased curiosity behaviors, whereas priming self-direction values decreased cleanliness and increased curiosity behaviors. Experiment 5 found that priming achievement values increased success at puzzle completion and decreased helpfulness to an experimenter, whereas priming with benevolence values decreased success and increased helpfulness. These results highlight the importance of circular models describing motivational interconnections between values and personal goals.
