Improvement of marina design technology using hydrodynamic models
General
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...
Characterization of Textile Industries’ Effluents in Kaduna, Nigeria and Pollution Implications
General
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...
Removal of As, Cr and Cd by Absorptive Filtration
General
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...
Treatment of textile wastewater by advance oxidation processes
General
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%...
