The effect of a new surfactant obtained with reacting cysteine and octanoyl (C8) was investigated in ion flotation removal of
low levels of chromium ions from aqueous solution. The synthesised amino acid-based single-chain surfactant shows high
water solubility and causes extensive foaming in a typical flotation chamber. In an ion flotation process, this surfactant was able
to remove 99.8% of the 5 ppm strontium present in the contaminated water, in a simple, single-stage physiochemical process.

Biography
Mojtaba Taseidifar is an Iranian PhD student attending University of New South Wales, Australia with thesis entitled “Novel Water Technologies” in research group
of Professor Richard Mark Pashley. Moji’s research area generally evolve re-using wastewater, cavitation prevention and seawater desalination, which all are of
paramount importance to tackle the problems associated with water pollution and shortage. He is very interested to mingle with the experts/researchers to find out
about their work in order to build up his future research.
