Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of the Detoxification on the Shrinkage Temperature and pH of Chromium Leather Waste, Another Promising Way for the Tannery PollutionA. Malek, M. HachemiThe leather tannery industry produces a significant amount of solid chromium waste. Environmental concerns and escalating landfill costs are becoming increasingly serious problems to the leather industry and alternative disposal methods are needed. This research describes the possibility of decrease of the shrinkage temperature and to increase the pH value of leather waste by detoxification treatment with use of tartrate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePotential Air and Groundwater Pollution from Continuous High Land Application of Cheese WheyA.E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, N.S. MahmoudExperiments were performed, using eighteen 280 cm deep soil columns with 20 cm inside diameter, to determine the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds leached and volatilized from soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey during two seasons. Three soils (loamy sand, sandy loam and sandy clay loam) and two cheese whey application rates (560 and 840 kg-N ha-1), that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleData Mining Revealing Recent Microplastics Pollution of Freshwater in ChinaZhuo-Yuan Xie, De-Sheng PeiThis review mainly discusses the characteristics and correlation of microplastics (MPs) in freshwater systems under various geographical environments in China. The distribution and source of MPs are analyzed and their spatial analyses are performed using the GIS method. Besides, the current and future situation of microplastic pollution in China is further evaluated through data mining. Results indicate that recent studies … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 25 Jun 2022 · 6,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpatial Distribution and Evaluation of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil Based on Three-Dimensional Model and Kriging InterpolationBaoshun Liu, Yonghong Zhang, Jun Yao, Jian SuSoil heavy metal pollution is an important content for soil environmental governance. Based on the three-Dimensional (3D) geological modeling technology and ordinary Kriging method, this study described and analyzed the soil pollution status and spatial distribution characteristics of a site in Zhongshan, Guangxi. The results showed that combining 3D geological model and the Kriging interpolation method can well evaluate soil … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2022 · 6,144 accessesView PDFCite
