Abstract: This paper reports the results of an experimental study characterizing turbulence and turbulence anisotropy in smooth and rough shallow open-channel flows. The rough bed consists of a train of two-dimensional transverse ...

Abstract: Volatilization of selected organic compounds from water without agitation has been studied. Mathematical models, incorporating Fick's diffusion law, are developed for volatilization under quiescent condition. A theoretical ...

Abstract: Batch equilibrium studies are conducted under controlled laboratory conditions to determine the volatilization rate for perchloroethylene (PCE) from water and soil. The PCE is observed to volatilize rapidly from water. The ...

Abstract: A kinetic model has been developed to simulate horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed polymerization of phenol in the presence of polyethylene glycol based on the following kinetics. The phenol conversion expression is a ...

Abstract: Hydrogen production from glucose using a mixed anaerobic culture was assessed under batch conditions by adjusting the initial pH and adding linoleic acid (LA). At an initial pH of 5.0, hydrogen (

Abstract: Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) result in hazardous and unsightly contamination of receiving waters, particularly swimming areas. The removal of suspended solids and associated biological oxygen demand (BOD) can accelerate ...

Abstract: Azo dyes are a water-pollution problem causing damage to ecosystems and human health. Soybean peroxidase–catalyzed reactions of azo dyes, Acid blue 113 (AB113) and Direct black 38 (DB38), were optimized for color removal ...

Abstract: In a mixed anaerobic biotreatment process, sulfate is converted into sulfide by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Sulfidogens and methanogens in a mixed anaerobic culture can compete for electrons. Diverting a larger fraction ...
