Á mathematical model is applied to calculate the water circulation in the marina of Latsi in Cyprus. The flow field in the marina shows the general behavior of coastal, wind driven flows, being strongly influenced by the characteristics of the entrance of the marina. The small dimension and the...

Effluents from five major textile industries in Kaduna (Nigeria) were characterized for a proposed central effluent treatment plant. Seven of the measured parameters exceeded the limit set by the Federal Ministry of Environment. Colour intensity exceeded it in all the samples (Mills 1 – 5) by about...

The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recently introduced more stringent arsenic regulations by lowering the maximum contaminant level (MCL) to 10 ìg l-1 (ppb) arsenic in drinking water. During the present study, an iron solution injection sand filtration process was designed and tested to...

The use of conventional textile wastewater treatment processes becomes drastically challenged to environmental engineers with increasing more and more restrictive effluent quality by water authorities. Conventional treatment such as biological treatment discharges will no longer be tolerated as 53%...

Laboratory column tests were conducted to study the efficiency of lignite fly ash barriers in removing heavy metal ions, such as Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cd, Co, Al and Cu, present in high concentrations in acidic leachates produced in mining and waste disposal sites. The experimental configuration comprised...

The Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) is the method most commonly used for the assessment of the costs and effectiveness of alternative policy options on the environment. The objective of this paper is to describe the priority of the policy area “coastal water pollution control from land uses, in...

In this experimental study some measurements and their analysis are presented concerning the polluted water effluent disposal in the sea water. The wastes are disposed through the round openings of a submerged in the sea diffuser, in the form of turbulent jets which are mixing (diffusing) with the...

A Web-node has been created in order to address the specific needs of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of three important economic areas in the Mediterranean region, the food, textile and hotel sectors. The node provides important information on the market structure in the relevant sectors...

Waste tyre rubber granules were used as sorption medium in water treatment technology to remove up to 1 mg l-1 of 2,4-D and atrazine. The removal was found to be 83.2% and 87% corresponding to initial concentration of 0.5 and 1 mg l-1 of 2,4-D whereas it was 84.2% and 87.6% for atrazine. On the...

Sixteen permanent sample plots of one hectare each, established in 1985 at Abeku sector of Omo Forest Reserve, South west Nigeria by the European Economic Community/ Nigeria Federal Government (High Forest Monitoring Plots Project) (EEC/HFMPP) were used for this study. The plots were re-enumerated...
