Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption and Distribution of Selected High Molecular Weight Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Typical Coastal Sand DepositUzoije Atulegwu Patrick, Ezenobi Chukwunoye ChristainContaminant migration study through soil medium is a veritable tool for a match towards sustainable groundwater protection. It is also essential to predict the fate and Transport of pollutants and to evaluate pollution risks. In this study, migration and distribution of High Molecular Weight (HMW) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) through a coastal sand deposit of a wetland was investigated. Flow … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2018 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Filter Fabrication from a Mixture of KMnO4 Modified Kapok Carbon Fiber, Zeolite, Bentonite and Clay for Fe3+Removal and Water Hardness TreatmentKannika Thongdee, Kalayaporn Parun, Suphakrit Benjatitmongkhon et al.A water filter was fabricated from a mixture of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber, zeolite, bentonite and kaolinite clay for Fe3+ removal and water hardness treatment. The effects of amount of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber (30-60 wt%), zeolite (20-40 wt%) and sintering temperature (500-700°C) on the properties of sintered products were evaluated. The best of sintered products were tested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2017 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Exhaust Gas Temperature on the Performance of Automobile Adsorption Air-ConditionerAbdul Hadi N. Khalifa, Ali H. Jabbar, Jamal A. MuhsinAn adsorption air conditioning unit of two beds was designed and built. Each bed was constructed from two concentric copper pipes sets, the length of the pipes in each set was 1500 mm pipe. The inner pipe was 50 mm in diameter while the outer pipe was of 100 mm diameter. The inside surface of the outer pipe and the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Oct 2015 · 8,083 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Exogeneous Compounds on Biosorption of EndosulfanDeepika Dave, A. K. DikshitProblem statement: Organochlorine pesticide endosulfan is widely used as a replacement for DDT and dieldrin in many parts of the world. Presence of residual pesticides in the water, air and soil environment was confirmed since 1960s. Such Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are of concern because of their long-term subtle effects on hormones, the immune system and reproduction. Therefore, it becomes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristic Study of the Marine Algae Sargassum sp. on Metal AdsorptionA. Saravanan, V. Brindha, Soundarajan KrishnanProblem statement: Biomass of brown marine macro algae is a biological resource that is available in large quantities and can form a good base for the development of biosorbent material. Approach: Algae have been found to be potentially suitable biosorbents because of its cheap availability, both in fresh or salt water, relatively high surface area and high binding affinity. Results: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Composite Material from Sea Mussel Shells and White Clay as a Versatile SorbentSingto Sakulkhaemaruethai, Churairat Duangduen, Weraporn Pivsa-Art, Sommai Pivsa-ArtProblem statement: The removal of heavy metals contaminated in aqueous solution/wastewater has been causing worldwide concern. However, the adsorbent materials are usually limited due to their high cost and environmentally benign. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, low-cost and effective adsorbents are in demand.
