Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEquilibrium Studies and Optimization of Phosphate Adsorption from Synthetic Effluent Using Acid Modified Bio-SorbentBabayemi Akinpelu Kamoru, Onukwuli Okechukwu DominicAdsorption potential of periwinkle shell (PRW), an agricultural waste, for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution was investigated through equilibrium studies at various experimental conditions. PRW was carbonized and chemically activated with 1MH2SO4 before it was subjected to characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Adsorption data were analyzed using various … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2017 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitrifying, Denitrifying and Heterotrophic Biomass Present in Moving Bed-ReactorAndreliza Carolina Del Grossi Oliveira, Camila Zoe Correa, Kátia Valéria Marques Cardoso Prates, Deize Dias LopesThis study was carried out to evaluate the main bacterial communities related to the removal of nitrogen in a moving bed-reactor treating landfill leachate, relating the physico-chemical parameters with the existence of these organisms in the mixed liquor (non-attached microorganisms) and Support Material (SM). The system was operated in two phases: Phase I (without effluent recirculation) and II (with recirculation, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2017 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREMOVAL OF CONGO RED DYE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY DATE PALM LEAF BASEGhadah AlsenaniRemoval of dyes from wastewater is important for industry and environmental protection. The adsorption technique, using biomass is attractive method for environmental and economical reasons. This study studies removal of Congo Red dye (CR) from aqueous solutions by adsorption using date palm Leaf Base (LB). The adsorption of congo red dye CR onto LB has been examined in aqueous solution … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 26 Jul 2014 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption from Aqueous Solution Onto Natural and Acid Activated BentoniteLaila Al-Khatib, Feras Fraige, Mohammad Al-Hwaiti, Omar Al-KhashmanDyes have long been used in dyeing, paper and pulp, textiles, plastics, leather, paint, cosmetics and food industries. Nowadays, more than 100,000 commercial dyes are available with a total production of 700,000 tones manufactured all over the world annually. About 10-15% of dyes are being disposed off as a waste into the environment after dyeing process. This poses certain hazards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoving Boron from an Aqueous Solution Using Turmeric Extract-Aided Coagulation-FlocculationAzhar Abdul Halim, Nur Hanani Thaldiri, Normah Awang, Mohd Talib LatifProblem statement: Boron exists in an environment naturally either through weathering of rocks or volcanic activity but due to anthropogenic activity, boron had been distributed widely into our surroundings. Boron was a problematic pollutant due to the difficulty to remove it from the water. Turmeric which had been widely used as a spice and traditional medicine, were investigated to determine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 15 Jun 2012 · 8,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Hydrogen Sulphide from WaterS. Edwards, R. Alharthi, A.E. GhalyProblem statement: The concentration of H2S in groundwater is a significant problem in various areas across Canada. Hydrogen sulphide dissolves in ground water imparting undesirable taste and irritating rotten egg smell which makes it unpalatable. Ingestion of sulphides through drinking water can result in stomach discomfort, nausea and vomiting. Humans exposed to high concentrations of H2S for prolonged periods show … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 26 Aug 2011 · 15,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Particle Swarm Optimization Based Edge Preserving Impulse Noise FilterS. Mohamed Mansoor Roomi, P.L. Muthu Karuppi, P. Rajesh, B. Guru RevathiProblem statement: Image sensors and communication channels often introduce impulse noise in image transmission. The most common filters available to remove such noise are median filter and its variants but the major drawbacks identified with them are blurring of edge detail and low noise suppression. To preserve the sharp and useful information in the image, the filtering algorithms are required … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTartaric Acid Modified Rice Hull as a Sorbent for Methylene Blue RemovalSiew-Teng Ong, Pei-Sin Keng, Ai-Wen Chong et al.Problem statement: Improper dye discharge from various industries such as textile, paper, cosmetic and plastics into receiving streams can be one of the sources towards water pollution. The release of these effluents not only causes various disruptions in the ecosystems, but also poses hazard effect as most of the dyes are highly toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic in nature. Approach: To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-Digestion of Palm Oil Mill Effluent and Refined Glycerin Wash Water for Chemical Oxygen Demand Removal and Methane ProductionA. Sulaiman, M. R. Zakaria, M. A. Hassan et al.Problem statement: Refined Glycerin Wash Water (RGWW) from the oleochemical industry contains high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and requires proper treatment before disposal.
