Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePermeability, Strength and Filtration Performance for Uncoated and Titania-Coated Clay Wastewater FiltersMasturi, Silvia, Mahardika Prasetya Aji et al.Problem statement: Wastewater problems continue to be a relevant issue, particularly in urban areas. One promising low-cost material for manufacturing porous ceramics as water filter is clay. Clays can be blended with other materials such as polymers to obtain functional ceramic materials. Approach: Ceramic wastewater filters were fabricated from clay using both sol-gel and simple mixing methods followed by hot-pressing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2012 · 8,395 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAerosol Filtration Using Quartz Sand FilterAbbas H. Sulaymon, Yasmen A. MustafaThe cement industry is the major source of cement dust which contains heavy metals like nickel, cobalt, lead, chromium, arsenic and hazardous substances like dioxins and furans. Exposure to these substances can cause health problems to human, animals and vegetation. A continuous pilot scale quartz sand filter was constructed and uses to study the effect of important design parameters (temperature, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Jun 2012 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemoval of Coliform Content in Sewage Treatment Plant Using a Sand Filtration System with Potassium Permanganate PowderSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Seyedeh Zahra Hosseini-Teshnizi et al.Reuse of refined sewage with two goals of providing more water and protecting the environment from pollution is one of the solutions to water supply problems and one of the potential sources for irrigation in agriculture. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of effluent disinfection using a sand filtration system to reduce microbial contamination with potassium … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 Jun 2019 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExperimental Investigation of Limonene-based Environmental-Friendly Emulsion Drilling MudOlaitan Oluwaseum Micheal, Orodu Oyinkepreye David, Ehinmowo Adegboyega BoluThe use of emulsion drilling mud in the oil and gas industry has gained wide acceptance. However, the disposal of drill cuttings and the waste of such emulsion drilling mud usually poses environmental concern. Hence, there is the need to seek oil from biodegradable sources as an alternative to the current conventional diesel oil which constitute environmental threat. In this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2017 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTime Dimension Parameters of the Dual-Porosity Reservoir Determination using Periodic Hydraulic Pulse TestingMarat Ovchinnikov, Kushtanova Galiya GatinishnaThe process of periodic hydraulic pulses propagation in porous fractured media of dual-porosity near a vertical well is considered. Using the calculation data as the base, it is shown that the effect of the time dimension constant on the form of the filtration wave curves is essential. The conclusions on possibility of hydrodynamic model types verification which adequately describe the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 9 Sep 2016 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGynaecologic NephrologyNaheed Ansari, Jolina Santos, Fuad Spath, Srujana PolsaniRenal issues are commonly encountered in females. They can occur both in pregnant and nonpregnant females. Many physiologic changes occur during pregnancy to accommodate the growing fetus. Pregnancy is characterized by changes in blood pressure and expansion of total body volume which results in high glomerular filtration rate. The common renal problems seen in pregnant females are hypertension, proteinuria with … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRemoval and Recovery of Lead from Aqueous Solution by Low Cost MediaLucia Pappalardo, Fawwaz Jumean, Naser AbdoProblem statement: To remove Pb(II) from wastewater using local UAE sand and then to recover the removed Pb(II). Approach: Removal efficiency of Pb(II) from wastewater was investigated using white, yellow and red United Arab Emirates sand with pore sizes < 300 μm. Two methods were employed: batch equilibrium and column filtration.
