A critical element for the successful management of wastewater is the active participation of residents in all stages of treatment in order to ensure public acceptance. The primary purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the specific views and attitudes of the inhabitants of Leros Island...

Industrial production brings serious Cr(Ⅵ) pollution problems, so as to explore new treatment methods for Cr(Ⅵ), In this paper, modified montmorillonite was prepared by modifying montmorillonite with starch and lanthanum nitrate, and its adsorption mechanism and effect on Cr(Ⅵ) were explored. The...

In the present work a new freely available web-based tool is developed within Google Earth Engine (GEE) that aims to support water agencies, farmers and public services acquire information on the water budget components in the areas of their interest. The tool makes use of the high-resolution land...

To assess the impact of climate change on wind regimes, we performed a statistical analysis of some meteorological parameters. Indeed, variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and insolation are rarely or not considered in the estimation of wind regimes and therefore in the...

Gas sparging has emerged as an effective technique for control of particle fouling in different microfiltration membrane processes. However most of the research work carried out has been pertinent to hollow fiber and tubular membrane geometries. A little attention has been paid to evaluate the...

Methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous media using hybrid bioprocess: biosorption on modified cork powder (SDS-cork) and soluble turnip peroxidase (STP) was investigated. Cork powder was modified with sodium lauryl sulphate (SDS). Chemical composition of the biosorbent were characterized by...

The performed work reports the manipulation of a collective local surplus solid (fish scales of tilapia) for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. The technique was so customary to establish to be green, clean for the environment, and less expensive. Copper nanoparticles were synthesized using...

Nanotechnology is the newest and one of the most promising areas of research in modern medical sciences. Metal nanoparticles possess extraordinary optical, thermal, chemical properties and are being widely used in industrial, electronics, and biomedical fields. It has presented its potential to...

Plastic waste is harmful to the environment due to its long-term decomposition process. Plastic waste is made out of hydrocarbon polymers, its chain bonds do not naturally decompose physically, chemically, or biologically. The plastic waste generated in Indonesia reaches up to 175,000 tons per day...

The present communication attempts to explore the adsorption potential of Mixed Fruit Peel Waste (MFPW) to remove Sunset Yellow FCF dye from an aqueous solution. The MFPW is a low-cost adsorbent prepared from the peels orange, watermelon and banana. The characterization of MFPW was made through FTIR...

Flooding events are the most devastating natural disasters that Malaysia had experienced these recent years. It has become a challenge for the government and society to mitigate the flood events that occurs naturally, especially when climate change had worsened the situation. This study focuses on...

TiO2 nanomaterials have gained much interest due to their importance of wide area application. In this study, TiO2 nanocomposites were modified with Ag NPs by the stober method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X...

Adsorption of heavy metal ions (Cr, Pb & Zn) using prosopis julyflora roots has been investigated by batch adsorption and fixed bed column process. The various properties of adsorbent were analysed and the FT-IR spectra & SEM studies of prosopis julyflora powder, before and after adsorption of metal...

The field of optics is flourishing day by day on account of the wide usage of the internet and its associated technologies. Free Space Optics (FSO) is a data transmission technique that employs light propagation to send data. This technology is effective in those circumstances where fiber optic...

Recently, weather and climate related extreme occasions circumstances such as droughts, heat waves, bush fires and floods are increasing around the world. South Asian countries, that have the highest annual average number of people physically affected by natural hazards mostly by floods. Most...

This research discusses the prediction that “within the framework of the principles of sustainable development; in regions deemed suitable for ecotourism activities, spatial planning is required, which includes a ‘spatial sensitivity’, ‘participatory understanding’ and ‘holistic use’”. Within the...

In shale gas-producing countries, soil, and groundwater contamination due to surface spills associated with hydraulic fracturing operations is one of the most worrying problems that arise, since its elimination is not easy or cheap to carry out, and its effects persist for many years. Thus, this...

Electrochemical Machiningplayed a vital role in the aircraft, atomic, and healthcare industries via electrochemical machining (ECM). Even with difficult-to-machine materials. ECM has generally preferred to machine Nickel-based alloys compared to other non-conventional and conventional machining...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are aromatic hydrocarbons with three or more fused benzene rings that include carbon and hydrogen. These are thought to be harmful to human health, and we cannot avoid being exposed to them because they are widely disseminated throughout the environment. PAHs...

Aiming at the problems of long monitoring time, low sensitivity and low precision of traditional methods, a nano sensor for near zero emission monitoring of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) was proposed. The characteristics of SF6 gas were analyzed. The infrared spectrum of SF6 gas was obtained by spectral...
