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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter regulations has pushed various industries to look for appropriate technologies to treat wastewater. Natural coagulants have recently been used as part of water and wastewater technologies due to their performance, cost-effectiveness when compared...

Recycling of wastewater is an important issue as it is used for many important applications such as industries, agriculture, household applications and due to water scarcity across the different countries. Wastewater treatment is an important activity as it protects human being and the ecosystem...

Industrial wastewater has become a great concern due to high concentrations of several hazardous contaminants, particularly heavy metals. Heavy metal contamination and its consequences for human health and the environment have gained interest in developing low-cost, long-term cleanup technologies...

This study emphasis on draining and slowing runoff volumes in arid and semi-arid lands regions using HEC-HMS model linked with various Best Management Practices (BMPs) alternatives. The proposed methods may help significantly in reducing flash flood precipitation and improving instream water quality...

The Conversion of SO2 by Hydrogen Oxidation Branching Chain Reaction A.A. Arutyunyan Institute of Chemical Physics after A.B. Nalbandyan NAS of The Republic of Armenia, 5/2 Paruyr Sevak St., Yerevan 0014, Republic of Armenia E-mail: harhasmik@mail.ru The process of SО2 conversion in the hydrogen...

The paradigm of Circular Economy within the framework of sustainable development has been consolidated in recent years. Nowadays, and given the urgency to adopt policies that allow to relaunch the economic activity after the crisis caused by the CoVid-19 pandemic, it is relevant to synthesise the...

Water is the most important substance. Drinking water in the industry comes from raw water and is treated through a heating process. The results of laboratory tests on raw water used for drinking water are 41 MPN/100ml, so it is necessary to process raw water into drinking water using Reverse...

An approach was used in this study to relate the predicted and calculated water quality index (WQI) of the Brahmani River. The WQI was predicted using an artificial neural network (ANN) tool, and the weighted Arithmetic Index technique was used to calculate the WQI (WAI). The WQI is calculated using...

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate boron removal from synthetic hydraulic fracturing wastewater by membrane processes. The effects of pressure, pH, feed concentration, and polyol concentration on boron removal were determined using a cross-flow, flat-sheet membrane test unit. The...

In the present work meteorological data, concerning temperature and precipitation in a mountainous Bulgarian fir (Abies borisii-regis Mattf.) forest, was analyzed in order to find trends for the period 1973-2019. The results showed that temperature values on annual and seasonal base, especially in...
