Investigating public awareness towards wastewater management in a small community
Water and Wastewater Treatment
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...
Adsorption of Cr(Ⅵ) on Montmorillonite modified by Starch and Lanthanum
Water treatment
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...
A Google Earth Engine tool to assess water budget and its individual components
Hydrology and water resources
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...
CORRELATION OF METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS TO CHARACTERIZE WIND SITES: A CASE STUDY OF N'GUIGMI, NIGER
Environmental data analysis and modelling
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...
Influence of two phase flow on cake layer resistance and flux enhancement in spiral wound and submerged flat sheet microfiltration membrane modules
Water and Wastewater Treatment
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...
Removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions with hybrid bioprocess: biosorption on modified cork powder and soluble turnip peroxidase
Water and Wastewater Treatment
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...
Effective removal of Direct Orange 26 dye using copper nanoparticles synthesized from Tilapia fish scales
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
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...
Green synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles using leaves of Iresine herbstii for remediation of Reactive Brown 9 dye
Water and Wastewater Treatment
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...
The effectiveness of plastic waste pyrolysis reactor with a zeolite catalyst as an appropriate technology in producing kerosene
Solid Waste Management
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...
Adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies for the decolorization of sunset yellow FCF dye using economically feasible low cost adsorbent
Water and Wastewater Treatment
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...
