Land resources in developing countries are facing intense degradation due to deforestation and subsequent loss of organic matter from continuous tillage that causes soil erosion and gulley formation. The Ethiopian highlands are especially and severely affected. One of the land and water management practices to counteract this problem, fenced areas ...

U.S. municipal wastewater contains approximately 160 trillion Btu/y of influent chemical energy, but very little is recovered and utilized nationwide. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermochemical process that converts biomass into a biocrude intermediate that can be upgraded to a variety of liquid fuels. HTL provides an opportunity to enhanc...

Lignocellulosic hydrogels are valuable bio-products that have been considered widely in recent investigations. Also, application of low value recycled fibers for high value added products can be of much interest. In this respect, current research has focused on producing hydrogel from recycled old corrugated container (OCC) resources, using 1-butyl...

The degradation of the antibiotic thiamphenicol has been studied by photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process with UVA light using pyrite particles as catalyst source. Pyrite is a sulfide mineral that naturally acidifies the reaction medium and releases Fe2+, thus promoting the effective generation of OH from Fenton's reaction. The assays were made in an I...

Nowadays, the production of green transportation fuels is essential for a healthy life and environment. Effective and complete removal of organosulfur recalcitrant compounds from fuel oils is crucial to meet the stringent requirements of sulfur standards. However, the industry's solution (Hydrodesulfurization, HDS) is not effective in the removal o...

The focus of this study is to describe the hydraulic effects of stormwater discharge, thus sediment transport occurring as a result of increased discharge from a stormwater detention pond, based on measurements made in a small high-slope Danish stream. In order to extrapolate the findings and predict the result of larger discharge flow rates from t...

Disinfection using chlorine has paramount importance in the treatment of either drinking water or sewage since it can kill and inhibit all waterborne pathogens, but it may result in carcinogenic substances when interacting with organic matter. An eco-friendly sol-gel process with citrate was used to prepare the nano-cubic activated nickel-zinc ferr...

Air quality management involves investigating areas where pollutant concentrations are above guideline or standard values to minimize its effect on human health. Particulate matter (PM) is one of the most studied pollutants, and its relationship with health has been widely outlined. To guide the construction and improvement of air quality policies,...

Land spreading of dairy soiled water (DSW) may result in pollution of ground and surface waters. Treatment of DSW through sludge-supernatant separation using chemical coagulants is a potential option to reduce the negative environmental impacts of DSW. The aims of this study were to (1) assess the effectiveness of three chemical coagulants - poly-a...
