Abstract: A new kinetic model has been proposed that describes the kinetics of the biosorptive processes. The proposed model is based on the concept of “available active sites.” The developed model has been investigated at different ...

Abstract: Development of stringent standards for the microbiological quality of the wastewater has necessitated a sensitive and efficient method for the enumeration of pathogens present in wastewaters. Standard methods are used all ...

Abstract: In this technical note, the results on adsorption of acid and basic dyes by sulfonated coal are presented. A mathematical model based on adsorption isotherm was developed to predict the desorption of dyes from the sorbent. ...

Abstract: Studies on benchmarking in water sector are very scarce particularly in the Asian region. None of the studies conducted so far have estimated and aggregated multidimensional performance of urban water utilities that ...
