Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessment of The Biological Integrity of The Native Vegetative Community In A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC. C. Galbrand, A. M. Snow, Abdel E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA study was conducted to evaluate the biological integrity of a constructed wetland receiving landfill leachate and stormwater runoff from the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The biological integrity of the constructed wetland was tested in the second growing season using vegetative community monitoring. The metrics analyzed were species diversity, species heterogeneity (dominance) and exotic/invasive species abundance. There was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,002 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTreatment of Landfill Leachate using Limestone/Sandstone Filters Under Aerobic Batch ConditionsAbdel E. Ghaly, M.A. Kamal, N.S. Mahmoud, R. CoteThe suitability of a passive technology, consisting of filters composed of a mixture of limestone and sandstone rocks, for the treatment of landfill leachates containing 6.6 mg Lˉ1 iron and 1.8 mg Lˉ1 manganese were investigated. The limestone and the limestone/sandstone filters successfully removed iron from the prepared solutions. The filters removed on average a minimum of 97.60% of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,070 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffect of Temperature on the Performance of Limestone/Sandstone Filters Treating Landfill LeachateAbdel E. Ghaly, M.A. Kamal, R. CoteThe ability of limestone and limestone/sandstone filters to remove dissolved iron and manganese from landfill leachate under field conditions were investigated. The results showed that the precipitation of iron and manganese were affected by temperature and time. Most of iron was removed from solution within the first 10 min at 20°C while the removal of iron from solution took much … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,112 accessesView PDF Cite

Benth in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaA. Bawa, M. S. Abdulai, I. K. AddaiThe study was conducted at the experimental field of the Savanna Agricultural Research Institute (SARI) to screen maize inbred and hybrid lines for Striga tolerance. Maize seeds of hybrid and inbred lines were collected from the West and Central African Maize Collaborative Network (WECAMAN), Boake, La Cote d’Ivoire, for the experiment. The experimental design used was the Randomized Complete Block … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2015 · 7,791 accessesView PDF Cite
