Compared with free bacteria, immobilized bacteria have a higher oil degradation rate, making them highly promising for the bioremediation of offshore oil pollution. In our study, preparation conditions of modified Enteromorpha-immobilized bacterial agent were optimized by response surface method. A...

In the present research packed bed column with activated carbon which is derived from the natural available dates seed used for exclusion of perchlorate from aqueous sample. The effect of several variables on adsorption performance has been studied, including inlet ion concentration, flow rate, bed...

Ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as the main odorous substances in waste gas from livestock farm, have attracted more attentions rescently since their adverse effects. To remove NH3 and H2S efficiently, high-pressure hydrothermal modification (HPHM), metal salt solution impregnation...

The growing expectations of the population and the increasingly stringent regulations about air pollution have resulted in the need to minimize and conveniently treat the waste gas from different emission sources. The emissions from a large variety of plants, including waste and wastewater treatment...

Enhancement of the permeate flux due to reduction of cake layer resistance by air-liquid twophase flow in a cross flow spiral wound microfiltration membrane has been investigated. Experiments were carried out with two different suspension systems, namely baker’s yeast suspension with a dry mass...

Photocatalysis is a promising method for eliminating the volatile organic compounds emitted from various industrial processes because mild or ambient conditions are used. Titanium dioxide is commonly used as photocatalyst and ultraviolet light is utilized for decomposing gas phase pollutants. In the...

The Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Center constructed at Schinias, accommodated the rowing and canoe – kayak sprint competition of the 2004 summer Olympic Games. This paper presents the results of a study which aimed at assessing the water quality characteristics, regarding microbial pollution, of the...
