Synthesis of Fe3O4/SiO2/NiO magnetic composite: Evaluation of its catalytic activity for methylene blue degradation
Advanced Oxidation Processes
Photocatalytic degradation for wastewater treatment is a method that has recently attracted attention. In this research, a synthesized composite of Fe3O4/SiO2/NiO with magnetic properties was used for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under UV light. Furthermore, the composites...
Leachate transport phenomenon on groundwater quality: modeling using MODFLOW and MT3DMS tools
Water Quality
The dumping of solid waste in uncontrolled landfills can cause significant impacts on the environment and human health. The open dumps cause the formation of leachate which contaminated the groundwater; use of these groundwater reported danger to the human health. The goal of groundwater protection...
Biosorption of chromium (VI+) using tamarind fruit shells in continuously mixed batch reactor
Water and wastewater reuse
The locally available tamarind fruit shells (TFS) pre-treated with 1N H3PO4 was used to remove the hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) from aqueous phase. The investigation was done by using continuously mixed batch reactor (CMBR) under room temperature. Few preliminary investigations was undertaken to...
Water Desalination Plant Fault Detection using Artificial Neural Network
Desalination
Water famine is very cruel. The desalination plant was brought in to alleviate the water shortage. A desalination plant has been set up in many places around the world. In the view of expanding worldwide need of fresh water, the usage of desalination plant becomes more common. There are more than...
Biodiversity in a forest ecosystem in India using environmental DNA sequence analysis of pathogen hostile eucalyptus trees
Biodiversity conservation
Trees in the forest are an unprecedented cluster of organisms in ecological, monetary and social importance. With a wide distribution, mostly random spread over and a large population in terms of size, the majority of tree species show considerable variation in genetics both within and between...
Study on treatment effect assessment of heavy metal pollution in Taihu Lake Sediments Based on the rapid development of Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration in China
Environmental Management and Policies
In order to explore an effective assessment method for the treatment effect of heavy metal pollution in the sediment of Taihu Lake in China, based on the research background analysis and literature review, this paper reconstructs the spatial niche suitability model and applies it to the effect...
The physico-chemical and bacteriological effects of UV-treated wastewater irrigation on soil and turfgrass quality: A case study in a coastal golf course
Water and wastewater reuse
This research describes the bacteriological and physicochemical impact of two types of irrigation water on soil and turfgrass quality during 2018 and 2019. Wastewater treated by an activated sludge process coupled with UV disinfection UV-TW was compared to fresh water FW. The first cycle (2018) was...
Study on community structure and nitrogen metabolism mechanism in A2O process under different hydraulic retention time conditions at high altitude region
Water treatment
The unique high-altitude environmental factors in the Linzhi region of Tibet have not been fully investigated in terms of their impact on the microbial mechanisms of water ecology, for which we explored the response of activated sludge microorganisms to different hydraulic retention times (HRT)...
Effects of ultraviolet radiation on the community structure and metabolic pathways of A2O process in Plateau environment
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Water treatment ecosystem provides important habitats for various bacterial communities, but the response mechanism of this ecosystem under ultraviolet rays is not yet clear. For this reason, 16S rRNA gene sequencing is used to study the bacterial community structure and metabolic pathways under...
Extraction of biodiesel from wastewater using microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris
Water and Wastewater Treatment
An experimental research on production of biodiesel from lipids of chlorella vulgaris has been done through transesterification reaction process. The series of chlorella vulgaris cultures has been carried out and the optimum growth time was determined. The biodiesel synthesis is processed by two...
