Optimization of Acid-Assisted Extraction of Pectin from Banana (Musa Acuminata) Peels by Central Composite Design
Solid Waste Management
Pectin extraction from various fruits and its application in food products have been debatable issues for ages. We conducted our research on the biomass wastes of the food industry, primarily banana (Musa Acuminata) peels, in order to develop a modified procedure for the effective extraction of this...
Analysis of flood frequency using plotting position methods and Gumbel’s method: Vaigai River basin, Southern India
Water Resources Management
Estimation of annual peak flood flow has considerable financial influence, as this can pave numerous ways for water resources planning, design of hydraulic structures, and sustainable management of these valuable resources at an optimum benefit. Six standard plotting position methods coupled with...
Removal of methyl violet 2B dye from aqueous solution by adsorption onto raw and modified carobs (Ceratonia siliqua L.)
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In the present study, fruits of Ceratonia siliqua L. (carobs) were used as an alternative low cost biosorbents to remove a cationic dye, methyl violet 2B (MV) which has broad applications in paints, textile and printing ink, from aqueous solutions. The untreated (CRM) and thermal treated carobs (CC)...
Multi Object Detection and Classification in Solid Waste Management using Region Proposal Network and YOLO model
Solid Waste Management
Rapid urbanization has given us many benefits in terms of giving us a better standard of life, but it sure has brought a lot of problems with it. Solid waste management is a major issue that has been in the forefront of the issues caused by urbanization. It has brought a lot of domains together...
Biosorption of heavy metal ions from the aqueous solutions using groundnut shell activated carbon: batch adsorption, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Batch adsorption studies of heavy metals were carried out using activated charcoal groundnut shell powder as an adsorbent material. The groundnut shell was collected and synthesized by chemical synthesis to convert it into charcoal form. The prepared adsorbent’s pore size & surface area was analyzed...
Block-level Drought Assessment using Rainfall and Remote sensing Data
Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity
Drought is a disastrous natural phenomenon. It is generally viewed as a sustained and regionally extensive occurrence of below average natural water availability either in the form of rainfall, river runoff or groundwater. Drought is defined based on different factors and generally assessed in...
Biosorption of Nitrate by Thermodynamic and Kinetics study using Tamarind Fruit Shells
Water and Wastewater Treatment
The majority of nitrate (NO3‾) pollutants come from a different type of industries. Even if present in low amounts, these nitrates are harmful to humans and aquatic systems. This research investigated the utilisation of Tamarind Fruit shell (TFS) as biosorbent in the removal of Nitrate from aqueous...
Comparison of the Start-up and Long-term Operation Characteristics of floc sludge and biofilm Integrated Anammox Reactors
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Integrated anammox process has competitive advantages of low energy and carbon consumption in nitrogen removal. Because of the coupling of partial nitrification and anammox process, complex physicochemical and biological interactions occur in integrated anammox reactors, and long-term operation...
Recent advances in Ecological Aspect For prediction model based on ECG beat classification using neural network
Environmental Management and Policies
The ecological aspects such as environmental factors, socio-economic constraints, and demographic parameters are one of the key aspects of examining the health benefits of human subjects and are used as a ready reference in ecosystem modeling. Ecosystems are growing at an extraordinary speed around...
Empirical correlation with dimensionless parameters for following the kinetic separation performance via reverse osmosis desalination process of groundwater
Desalination
The present paper carries for novel modeling that are often used for evaluate the kinetic performance of groundwater reverse osmosis (GWRO) desalination system by empirical correlation with dimensionless parameters. About three hundred dimensionless empirical correlationshave been proposed and...
