Comparative bioaccumulation of trace elements between Nautilus pompilius and Nautilus macromphalus (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea) from Vanuatu and New Caledonia

The concentrations of 16 trace elements were investigated and compared for the first time in the digestive and excreting tissues of two Nautilus species (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea) from two geologically contrasted areas: (1) N. macromphalus from New Caledon ...

Sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC) in rapeseed oil bodies

Ian William Marison, Julien Boucher

Oil-bodies are minute plant organelles (0.5-2.0 mu m diameter) consisting of an oil core surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer/proteinaceous membrane. Oil-bodies have been isolated from rapeseed seeds and demonstrated to constitute a novel type of micro-c ...

Immobilization of rapeseed press-cake in an alginate matrix for the sorption of atrazine

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison, Véronique Breguet, Julien Boucher

Due to residual oil retained within it, rapeseed press-cake has been shown to be effective for the removal of atrazine from water through an absorption mechanism. However, it is difficult to put this into practice due to the hygroscopic nature of the press ...

Oleaginous seeds, press-cake and seed husks for the biosorption of metals

Ian William Marison, Julien Boucher

The press-cake (PC) of oleaginous species (Brassica napus, Moringa oleifera, Glycine max) has been investigated as a biosorbent for metals removal from contaminated water. ...
