The solutions of mathematical models for the estimation of the kinetic, and biokinetic parameters of naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene during degradation in surface and subsurface soils are presented in this work. The ...

Determination of physical properties of municipal waste compost is necessary to obtain the parameters related to designing and constructing a suitable pelleting machine for producing compost pellets. The purpose of this ...

In the industrial area of Elefsis, Greece, aerosol samples from the atmosphere were collected using a stacked filter unit sampler, which separates the airborne particulate matter into coarse (PM2.5-10) and fine (PM2.5) ...

Besides human dental and skeletal fluorosis, drinking water above permissible levels of fluoride is known to cause a wide range of adverse health effects. In this study, the adsorption of Fluoride from aqueous solution ...

Since the surface water is one of the main potable water resources, the usage of chlorine as a disinfectant has increased. Consequently the production rate of disinfection by-products (DBPs) such as Trihalomethane (THM) ...

In this study, under the constraint of resource-saving and environment-friendliness objective, based on multi-agent genetic algorithm, multi-objective spatial optimization (MOSO) model for land use allocation was developed ...

Two potassium oxalate doped TiO2 samples, designated as K1-TiO2 and K2-TiO2, were synthesized by the base-catalyzed sol-gel process. These samples were impregnated into rubber sheets. Two commercial TiO2 samples, anatase ...

This paper deals with the planning of rehabilitation of spoils of asbestos mine in NW Greece with the name MABE in Prefecture of Kozani. For this purpose a detailed ecological research has taken place in the wider area in ...

In this study a machine learning algorithm was applied in order to develop a predictive model for the changes in phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) in the lower Nakdong River, South Korea. We used a “Hybrid Evolutionary ...

There are many potential sources of stormwater pollutants in urban areas; one of these sources is gas stations, which are numerous and spread city-wide. A study was conducted to evaluate the water quality of runoff from ...

Infrastructure development often leads to considerable changes in the land use. These changes are major causes of habitat fragmentation and ecosystem loss. Moreover, decrease of the environmental impacts on biodiversity ...

Forty seven sediment cores recovered from the South China Sea coasts along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia were analysed for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The results ...

Considering rapid growth and migration, higher accumulation of communities along with the high number of shopping trips in mega cities such as Tehran brings environmental consequences like excessive amounts of energy use, ...

The aim of this research was to optimize bioremediation of seawater samples spiked with 1000 mg/L crude oil for removal of n-alkanes (C12H26 to C34H70). Bioaugmentation experiments were performed at laboratory scale: each ...

The river Kabini which is tributary of Cauvery drains through industrial area at Nanjangud, Karnataka. Out of the sediment load carried by the river, 2micron the clay fraction was analyzed for total heavy metal contents ...

In order to decrease the discharge from sulfide mine flotation plants, treatment and reuse approaches based on our previous wastewater monitoring experiments were explored in these plants. The flotation wastewater was ...

Allium cepa bulbs were germinated in pots for three days on treatment area on which 380 kV high voltage power lines are passing. Ten bulbs were set up for each treatment area (0 m (meter), 10 m, 25 m, 50 m and 100+ m for ...

Two different methods of Bayesian segmentation algorithm were used with different band combinations. Sequential Maximum a Posteriori (SMAP) is a Bayesian image segmentation algorithm which unlike the traditional Maximum ...

Phenol is a common pollutant that was listed by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) among the priority pollutants. Classical methods employed for phenol removal are either costly or limited to large-scale applications ...

Phenol and its homologues are aromatics containing hydroxyl, methyl, amide and sulphonic groups attached to the benzene ring. These molecules are both anthropogenic and xenobiotics. Phenols are environmental pollutants ...
