Influence of Utilizing Prosopis Juliflora Ash as Cement on Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortar and Concrete
Ecology, environmental change and management
The infrastructure of the country heavily depends on the construction material concrete. The primary ingredient in conventional concrete is cement, fly ash, or another cementitious substance. The need to explore alternative sources is driven by the challenges posed by global environmental warming...
Diatom records in sediments for eutrophication process of Lake Xian'nv, China since the mid-20th century
Ecological effects of Environmental change
To well understand the eutrophication process for inland lakes where more lands had been used for agriculture and industry without adequate environmental protections, 9 surface sediments and 1 core sediment in Lake Xian’nv which was located in the middle of Jiangxi Province were chosen. Combined...
Spatiotemporal variability of heavy metals concentration in an industrialized estuarine-bay ecosystem in Northern Persian Gulf
Ecological effects of Environmental change
This study aimed to evaluate the pollution level of Ni, Pb, Cd, V, and Hg in the sediments of Musa Estuary and its four main tributaries namely Majidieh, Zangi, Semaili, and Merimos (collectively known as Mahshahr estuaries) in summer and winter 2019 using sediment quality indices. In each tributary...
Effect of coconut shell ash as an additive on the properties of green concrete
Solid Waste Management
Concrete is the broadly adopted composite material in the construction arena. The growing need for cost-effective housing is resulting in the depletion of environmental resources such as river sand and gravel, which are essential components in the manufacture of concrete. However, the manufacturing...
Air Pollution Monitoring Approach using Atomic Orbital Search Algorithm with Deep Learning Driven
Air Quality
Air pollution is a major reason for health-related issues and weather changes, one of humanity's most dangerous problems. It is the most crucial environmental issue in the 21st century and has attracted global attention. These challenges are exacerbated by an overabundance of automobiles, industrial...
Anaerobic Digestion of Corn Stover Pretreated with Sulfuric Acid in Different Soaking Durations
Biowaste
The biogas production of pretreated corn stover has been determined in different soaking durations. Batch anaerobic digestion applies three different soaking durations in sulfuric acid pretreatment under room temperature. The study aimed to probe the effect of soaking durations during sulfuric acid...
Green Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles Using Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract for Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In this research, we provide a method for synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles using Moringa Oleifera Leaf (M.O Leaf) Extract. UV-VIS Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, EDS, X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to create and characterize ZnO nanoparticles...
Solar still desalination techniques for the minimization of operational time and cost: a review
Desalination
This current, comprehensive study of the literature provides a full review of recent developments in a variety of various kinds of solar stills. This review looks at studies on double-slope, hybrid solar stills, single-slope, with a condenser unit, and other particular types of solar stills. To make...
Biosorption of crystal violet and methylene blue dyes using coconut shell powder
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In this study, coconut shell biosorbent was synthesized through chemical processes and activated using concentrated sulfuric acid to serve as an organic adsorbent for the effective removal of dye molecules, particularly Crystal Violet (CV) and Methylene Blue (MB), from wastewater. The biosorbent's...
Facile Prepared Fe3O4 Nanoparticles as a Nano-Catalyst on photo-Fenton process to remediation of methylene blue dye from water: Characterisation and Optimization
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
In this research, a simple method for the preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs) with an average size of 38.05 nm via co-precipitation was investigated. X-ray diffraction (DRX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to characterize obtained Fe3O4...
