Eco-Friendly Chopped Tire Rubber as Reinforcements in Fly Ash Geopolymer Concrete
One of the major challenges faced by researchers is to recycle industrial wastes in a manner that reduces their environmental impact in nature. An experimental study was carried out to determine the suitability of using chopped tire rubber as reinforcements in green and sustainable geopolymer...
Degradation Reactive Black 5 dye from aqueous solutions using ozonation with pumices and pumices modified by nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI)
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dyes are a dye widely used in textile industries. The nanocatalytic ozonation of RB5 solution in the presence of pumice modified with nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) catalysts and pumice raw investigated in a laboratory scale batch reactor. The effects of solution pH (3-11)...
Uncertainties and nonstationarity in streamflow projections under climate change scenarios and the ensuing adaptation strategies in Subarnarekha river basin, India
Water Resources Management
The present study analyses the various uncertainties and nonstationarity in the streamflow projections of Subarnarekha river basin in Eastern India using two widely used hydrological climate models: 1) general circulation model (GCM), and 2) forcing climate change scenarios. These two climate models...
Ammonia and COD Removal From Landfill Leachate Using MAP Precipitation Method
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Most of the major cities in our country are opposed to the problem of water pollution due to the uncontrolled leachate resulting from the decomposition of solid wastes in irregular landfills. The waste waters that have high nitrogen content such as leachate cause various problems like eutrophication...
Improvement of organic matter removal in water produced of oilfields using low cost Moringa peels as a new green environmental adsorbent
Water and Wastewater Treatment
The present study observed the removal of the organic content from the real effluent water produced by the oilfields. The proposed treatment process was the adsorption technique using the moringa peels as adsorbing agent. The effect of processing parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time and...
Treatment of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) using industrial by-product: Sorption behavior of steel slag for metal-rich mine water
Water and Wastewater Treatment
This study highlights the potential of steel slag, which is an industrial by-product of steel making industry as treatment media for metal-rich acid mine drainage (AMD). A series of batch adsorption studies has been done to demonstrate the effects of contact time, solution pH, initial concentration...
Synthesis of Magnetic Multiwalled Carbon Nano Tubes and Investigation of isotherm and kinetic models for cleanup of Carbaryl pesticide
Abstract: Water is the main factor of movement and transport of pesticides and contamination of water by these pollutants is one of the most important challenges due to their widespread use and increased concentrations. Moreover, these compounds are on the U.S.EPA Priority Pollutant list because of...
Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue by Adsorption Using Composite Based Ca/Al Layered Double Hydroxide-Biochar
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Composite based Ca/Al layered double hydroxide and biochar was prepared using mixing coprecipitation method at pH 10. Composite and the starting materials was characterized using X-ray, FTIR, BET, thermal, and SEM-EDX analyses. Furthermore, composite was used as adsorbent of methylene blue from...
Application of free and immobilized laccase for removal and detoxification of fluoroquinolones from aqueous solution
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized by covalent bonds formation on CPC silica carriers. Elimination of two floroqinolone (FQ); enrofloxacine (ENR) and flumequine (FLU) using laccase in both free and immobilized form in the absence and presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) and 4...
Correlational investigation of air pollutant emissions and fuel consumption of motor vehicle in various dynamic conditions
Air Quality
Air pollutant emissions and fuel consumption of vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines are highly susceptible to the conditions of engine operation. The purpose of this research was to investigate the correlation between the emissions of individual pollutants (carbon monoxide...
