A Study on Cement-free Geopolymer Concrete incorporated with industrial waste Cured at Open Environment for different molarities of sodium hydroxide
Air Quality
Nowadays, the increase in population and industrial growth that generates lot of waste products which creates disposal problems and severe environmental hazards. The cement industry is one of the important sectors which liberates greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide. The consumption of waste...
The utilization of okra leaves as an agricultural waste for the removal of As(III) and As(V)
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In the present study the sorption efficiency of okra leave sorbent for As(III) and As(V) is demonstrated. Sorption reaction is pH and time dependent. The sorbent shows maximum removal of As(III) and As(V) at pH 7 and pH 6 respectively and equilibrium was achieved at 180 minutes. In isotherm study...
Recovery of nitrogen removal by N2H4 after nitrite inhibited anammox reaction
Water and Wastewater Treatment
A pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) of bacteria culture was used along with a batch experimental reaction device to study the effect of NO2--N concentration on the activity of anammox bacteria and the recovery of N2H4 on anammox bacteria after...
Evaluating the effect of the statistical downscaling method on monthly precipitation estimates of global climate models
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Researches to foresee the possible effects of climate change on the environment and living beings for taking necessary precautions on time have increased in recent years. In the improvement of these studies, especially the reduction of estimation errors by downscaling the outputs of global climate...
Environmental Sensitivity Index Analysis for coastal protection of oil spill in Fakfak, Papua, Indonesia
Marine environment and coastal management
This study was conducted to analysis of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for anticipating the effect of oil spills on the environment in coastal areas. The study location is the coastal area and waters of the Karas District, Fakfak Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia. The purpose of the...
Copper recovery by slurry electrolysis using ionic liquids from waste printed circuit boards
General
The regulatory framework of heavy metal pollution associated with electronic waste is prevalent all over the world. As a result of technological advancement and change in consumer patterns, the life span of electrical and electronic products has been shortened. This has contributed to the emergence...
Efficient anionic surfactant treatment of cork for cationic dye removal from aqueous media
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Sodium dodecyl sulfate sulfate modified Algerian cork powder (SDS-ACP) with interesting biosorption capacity was prepared for dye removal from aqueous media. The decolorization performance of SDS-ACP was studied using methylene blue (MB) as a model dye. Experiments were conducted in batch sysytem...
Modification of Corn stalk for high-performance adsorption of Coomassie Brilliant blue dye in simulated polluted water: Kinetic study
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In the present work, corn stalk was used as a low cost adsorbent for removal of anionic dye (" CBB"). Corn stalk was treated with two methods to inform Modified corn stalk with magnetic particles (MMCS) and Modified corn stalk with sulfuric acid (SMCS). Comparison between raw and treated corn stalk...
Applicability of Membrane Reactor For Producing Environment Friendly Fuel Additive Glycerol Carbonate
Sustainable Energy
Production of glycerol carbonate (GLC) that is a fuel additive from green solvent dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and biodiesel by-product glycerin is environmentally friendly synthesis. The usage of waste glycerol from biodiesel plant makes the production cost lower. When the membrane aided technique is...
Correlational investigation of manufacturing technology and environmental impact in an agricultural machinery industry
There is a relation between the environmental impacts to the high emissions in the environment and the natural resources depletion, which can be measured with the useful life of the products, affected by the manufacturing technologies and the sustainable development. In this background, the present...
