Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Hydraulic infiltration and decontamination performance of bioretention systems are influenced by plant species and planting layers. However, traditional evaluation methods are limited by their high subjectivity and inability to capture complex relationships among multidimensional data accurately...
Solid Waste Management
This study describes a simple way for making films from natural sources, which is relevant since there is a rising demand for new materials that can make biocompatible films that are both effective and economical for use in biomedical applications. Fish bone waste and chitosan, a natural polymer...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The massive use of antibiotics and the consequent antibiotic pollution have become a major risk to river ecosystems, water quality, and human health. In this study, 28 antibiotics were analyzed in the rural-urban river water of Suzhou City, the inflow rivers of Hongze Lake. The total concentration...
Air pollution and health
The study was conducted to quantify Pb, Ni, Cr, Cd, Cu, and Fe in drinking water (surface and subsurface water) from Nawanshahr Town, Abbottabad, Pakistan, and to evaluate the associated threat to the health of the inhabitants. An atomic absorption spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, AAS-700) was utilized...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The increasing problem of underwater trash and its detrimental impact on marine ecosystems necessitates effective detection and mitigation strategies. This work presents an approach for underwater trash detection by integrating the YOLOv7 deep learning model with a Flask web application. The...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
This study uses Taguchi analysis to assess the performance and energy efficiency of a metal scrap-incorporating single-slope solar still (SSSS). This study examines the influence of key input variables solar intensity, wind velocity and water inlet temperature on output metrics such as daily...
Solid Waste Management
The primary goal of the research was to determine how recycled plastic fiber's shape affected the functionality of mortar made from naturally occurring limestone residue. The identical length (20 ± 2 mm) and diameter (0.45 ± 0.07 mm) of two types of recycled fibers, straight and crimped, were...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
In this study, removal of reactive yellow 145 (RY 145) dyestuff by dry biomass of Ureolytic mixed microorganism culture (UMC), existing in domestic wastewater and various industrial wastewater, was studied. Optimum conditions of adsorption efficiency were tested. For this purpose, studies were...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
This study utilizes the Time-Varying Parameter Vector Auto-Regression (TVP-VAR) Connectedness model and wavelet coherence analysis to investigate, for the first time, the dynamic connection between China's carbon market and high-tech industry. The results show an overall market Connectedness index...
Solid Waste Management
Open burning and dumping of pruning waste into landfills is detrimental for environmental quality. This study was planned to convert pruning waste into biochar-based organomineral phosphatic fertilizer (BOMPF). A BOMPF with 20% P2O5 was prepared by enrichment of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in biochar...
