Removal of Fe(II) and Mn(II) ions from aqueous solution by fungal biosorbent Aspergillus sp. TU-GM14immobilized on Detarium microcarpum matrix was investigated in this study. Effects of biosorption parameters pH, biosorbent concentration, bead size and equilibrium time on Fe(II) and Mn(II) ions...

This paper presents the sensitivity analysis results of feed forward multilayer perceptron based Artificial Neural Network model for water level prediction in a data constraint transnational Surma River of Bangladesh. Catchment characteristics, hydro-geomorphological, meteorological and headwater...

Extreme floods often demonstrate unanticipated characteristics that pose problems for management and response. The flood in the Stratoni region in February 2010 provided an example of such unexpected response. The aim of this paper is the quantification of the hydrologic response of the torrents...

This paper reports on a systematic study of the degradation of anthracene and phenanthrene in sandy soil treated with an aqueous solution of KMnO 4. A kinetic model was developed based on the soil/solution ratio to predict the degradation rates of anthracene and phenanthrene. The degradation...

PM 2.5 samples were collected from the exhaust stacks on the roofs of a university canteen, a charcoal-grilled chicken restaurant and a wood-oven roasted piglet restaurant. The use of thick exhaust hood filters and also gas and electricity as energy sources for cooking in the kitchen of the...

With the aggravation of the unprecedented greenhouse effect, the reduction of greenhouse gases which mainly consist of CO 2 has caught high attention by global scholars. The membrane absorption of CO 2 from the flue gas seems a promising alternative to conventional absorption methods like chemical...

A method is presented and preliminarily applied to the optimization of the allocation of oil-slick combating coastal stations in a coastal basin. The decision support methodology is based on the annual simulation of the circulation in the basin according to climatologic data, on the oil spill...

Recently, considerable efforts have been devoted to overcome a major limitation in semiconductor photocatalysis, the recombination of photogenerated e --h + pairs which leads to reduced quantum yields. Considering the impacts of various parameters on the photocatalytic degradation efficiency, our...

The present paper discusses an integrated electrochemical decolorization/degradation treatment procedure of indigo carmine dye, which comprises electrocoagulation, electrooxidation and advanced electrochemical oxidation using the electro-Fenton process. The electrocoagulation process is performed by...

This paper presents an experimental application of PID control to study the electrocoagulation process of textile wastewater. The addition of NaCl solution would also lead to the decrease in power consumption because of the increase in conductivity. Conductivity in electrocoagulation process is...
