Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBONE MEAL AS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR ACIDIC AND METAL CONTAMINATED ACID MINE DRAINAGE WATER EFFLUENT: LAB SCALECarolyn Payus, Olga David, Moh Pak YanThe typical methods of treatment for acidic and metal contaminated water effluent such as the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) will always focus on either civil engineering methods, such as disposal, excavation, drainage and encapsulation or process based technologies such as effluent washing and treatment. These techniques are not environmental friendly, costly and unsustainable, thus environmental damaging. Nowadays, there is a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2014 · 7,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Ternary Cadmium, Nickel and Cobalt Ions from Aqueous Solution onto Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells: Batch and Column StudiesMaedeh Galedar, Habibollah YounesiThe aim of this study was to remove cadmium, nickel and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions using yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, pre-treated with ethanol. The cells are immobilized using polysulfone in both batch and continuous systems. To optimize the adsorption capacity of the yeast biomass, a batch system was used to investigate the effects of initial pH, initial biomass dose and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Some Fermentation Parameters on Ethanol Production from Beet Molasses by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAIM13Awatif Abid Al-JudaibiProblem Statement: Some component of fermentation medium showed to reduce the Saccharomyces cerivisae production of ethanol. Approach: This study was designed to evaluate the role of some fermentation parameters in affecting ethanol productivity from beet molasses BM by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAIM13. Results: Increase in cell concentration (inoculums size) of the yeast above 3.6×105 cells/100 mL decreased the ethanol yield. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2011 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Development in Biological Process for Wastewater Treatment to Produce Renewable FuelKadhum M. Shabeeb, Khalid A. Sukkar, Rana A. Azeez et al.Problem statement: Hydrogen is a clean energy source. Bio-conversion of biomass to generate hydrogen has been achieved using anaerobic fermentation of some well-defined materials, in wastewater. No data available on hydrogen yielded from wastewater using inoculum extracted from Iraqi municipal wastewater treatment plant. Approach: This study investigated the effects of substrate concentration, initial pH and process temperature on biohydrogen production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of A Semi-Industrial Multi Fruit Dryer System Using Simultaneous Intelligent ControlMarjan Javanmard, Johari Endan, K. A. Abbas, Farshad ArvinProblem statement: This study presented a semi-industrial fruit dryer machine which is useful to dry different types of fruit. The drying process and its functions are selectable by user to obtain a multi dryer system. Approach: A microcontroller base controller that enables to simultaneous monitoring was utilized. There are two types of sensors as the inputs of system which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Study of Several Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants on an Aquifer MaterialBarbara Ruffino, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: Aim of the present research was to determine coefficient of partition KD between soil and groundwater for five hydrophobic organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene-TCE, perchloroethylene-PCE and toluene) in an Italian aquifer material characterized by a low organic carbon content (fOC = 0.00262) by means of laboratory batch tests. Initial aqueous concentrations (quite different among the five compounds) were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Permeable Reactive Barriers to Remediate Heavy Metal-Contaminated Groundwater through a Laboratory Column ExperimentSomean Yin, Gemunu Herath, Sokchhay Heng, Senajith KalpageRecently, groundwater sources are being polluted by various activities such as agriculture, livestock, decentralized wastewater treatment systems and acid rain. Groundwater can also be polluted by landfill leachate, sewage, mine tailings, non-engineered deep well disposal of liquid waste and seepage from industrial waste lagoons. There are many studies reported contaminated groundwater remediation using Permeable Reactive Barrier systems (PRBs) and many … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2017 · 8,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpatient Task Mapping in Elastic Cloud using Genetic AlgorithmNawfal A. Mehdi, Ali Mamat, Hamidah Ibrahim, Shamala K. SubramaniamProblem statement: Task scheduling is the main factor that determines the performance of any distributed system. Cloud computing comes with a paradigm of distributed datacenters. Each datacenter consists of physical machines that host virtual machines to execute customers’ tasks. Resources allocation on the cloud is different from other paradigms and the mapping algorithms need to be adapted to the new … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
