Phytoremediation of heavy metal‐contaminated water and sediment by Eleocharis acicularis Tập 39 Số 8 - Trang 735-741 - 2011
Masayuki Sakakibara, Yuko Ohmori, Nguyen Thi Hoang Ha, Sakae Sano, K. Sera
AbstractPhytoremediation is an environmental remediation technique that takes
advantage of plant physiology and metabolism. The unique property of heavy metal
hyperaccumulation by the macrophyte Eleocharis acicularis is of great
significance in the phytoremediation of water and sediments contaminated by
heavy metals at mine sites. In this study, a field cultivation experiment was
performed to exam... hiện toàn bộ
Practical Review of Pervious Pavement Designs Tập 42 Số 2 - Trang 111-124 - 2014
Jennifer Mullaney, Terry Lucke
An international literature review was undertaken to identify the most
appropriate design for a pervious paving system. The literature review revealed
that information contained in design guidelines is often unclear and
occasionally conflicting and this can be confusing for designers and other
stormwater professionals. This literature review was to form the basis of a
design for a new research stu... hiện toàn bộ
Removal of Brilliant Green Dye from Aqueous Solutions Using Home Made Activated Carbons Tập 38 Số 5-6 - Trang 521-532 - 2010
Tatiana Calvete, Éder C. Lima, Natali F. Cardoso, Sı́lvio L.P. Dias, Emerson Schwingel Ribeiro
AbstractActivated carbon materials were prepared from the Brazilian pine‐fruit
shell (Araucaria angustifolia) by chemically activated carbon (CAC) and
chemically and physically activated carbon (CPAC), and tested as adsorbents for
the removal of brilliant green (BG) dye from aqueous effluents. The mixed
activation process leads to increases in the specific surface area, average
porous volume, and ... hiện toàn bộ
Hydropower – A Green Energy? Tropical Reservoirs and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Tập 37 Số 9 - Trang 726-734 - 2009
Günter Gunkel
AbstractReservoirs are man‐made lakes that severely impact on river ecosystems,
and in addition, the new lake ecosystem can be damaged by several processes.
Thus, the benefits of a reservoir, including energy production and flood
control, must be measured against their impact on nature. New investigations
point out that shallow and tropical reservoirs have high emission rates of the
greenhouse gas... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Soil and Groundwater at Leather Industrial Area of Kasur, Pakistan Tập 42 Số 8 - Trang 1133-1139 - 2014
Muhammad Afzal, Ghulam Shabir, Samina Iqbal, Tanveer Mustafa, Qaiser M. Khan, Zafar M. Khalid
Heavy metal contamination of soil and water caused by industrialization has
become a major environmental issue in Pakistan. Therefore, it is important to
determine the level of contamination of soil and water close to industrial
areas. In the current study, we have assessed the heavy metal contamination of
soil and groundwater at the leather industrial area of Kasur, Pakistan. Soil and
groundwater... hiện toàn bộ
Equilibrium, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Studies on the Adsorption of Triclosan onto Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes Tập 41 Số 6 - Trang 539-547 - 2013
Shiqing Zhou, Yisheng Shao, Naiyun Gao, Jing Deng, Chaoqun Tan
AbstractThe increased accumulation of toxic pharmaceuticals and personal care
products in the environment is a concern of worldwide relevance. Efficient
technologies are needed to mitigate the level of such chemicals in natural
waters. The suitability of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to remove
aqueous triclosan (a widely used anti‐microbial agent) was investigated in the
present study. Te... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of Climate Change Impact on the Gharesou River Basin Using SWAT Hydrological Model Tập 41 Số 6 - Trang 601-609 - 2013
Bagher Zahabiyoun, Mohammad Reza Goodarzi, Ali Reza Massah Bavani, Hazi Mohammad Azamathulla
AbstractThe evaluation of climate change and its side effects on the
hydrological processes of the basin can increasingly help in dealing with the
challenges that water resource managers and planners face in future courses.
These side effects are investigated using the simulation of hydrological
processes with the help of physical rainfall‐runoff model. Hydrological models
provide a framework for ... hiện toàn bộ
Climate Change Impacts on Flow, Sediment and Nutrient Export in a Great Lakes Watershed Using SWAT Tập 43 Số 11 - Trang 1464-1474 - 2015
Siddhartha Verma, Rabin Bhattarai, Nathan S. Bosch, Richard A. Cooke, Prasanta K. Kalita, Momcilo Markus
This study aims at understanding the impacts of projected climate change on the
hydrological processes within the Maumee River watershed (16 395 km2) lying in
the Lake Erie Basin using soil and water assessment tool (SWAT). The model was
calibrated and validated for a baseline time‐period of 1995–2005. Downscaled
ensemble projected temperature and precipitation data from three general
circulation ... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative Removal of Rhodamine B from Aqueous Solution by Electro‐Fenton and Electro‐Fenton‐Like Processes Tập 42 Số 6 - Trang 779-784 - 2014
P.V. Nidheesh, R. Gandhimathi
Recently, electro‐Fenton (EF) process has received great attention in the field
of wastewater treatment. Removal of rhodamine B (RhB) from aqueous solution has
been investigated by EF and EF‐like process in graphite‐graphite EF system.
Efficiencies of Fe0, Fe2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, and Mn2+ as Fenton and Fenton‐like
catalysts for removing RhB from aqueous solution were compared. Effects of
operating param... hiện toàn bộ
