(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The cement industry is considered as a high consumption source for industry that requires high productivity. On the other hand, imminent depletion of fossil resources is leading to the utilization of alternative fuels. The ... -
Influence of Spatial Urbanization on Hydrological Components of the Upper Ganga River Basin, India
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The waterscape of the Upper Ganga river basin has reconfigured over the last few decades due to rapid population growth, urbanization, and industrialization. It has resulted in altered regional hydrology and water quality ... -
Production of Hydrogen Peroxide Using Various Metal-Based Catalysts in Electrochemical and Bioelectrochemical Systems: Mini Review
(ASCE, 7/1/2020 1)Catalysts play an essential role in various electrochemical reactions followed during the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Plenty of investigations on the role of catalysts in the synthesis of H2O2 have been made in ... -
Microbial Consortium–Based Conversion of Dairy Effluent into Biofertilizer
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Dairy wastewater (DWW) is nutritionally rich and extremely hazardous to the environment if discharged untreated. The conventional treatment is time-, labor-, and energy-intensive. A tailor-made microbial consortium converted ... -
Bearing Capacity of Circular Footing Resting on Fiber-Reinforced Pond Ash Overlying Soft Clay
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Model footing tests were conducted of a circular footing resting on a randomly distributed fiber-reinforced pond ash (RDFP) layer overlying soft clay. The effect of varying the thickness of the pond ash layer over soft ... -
Quality and Quantity of Groundwater in Highly Exploited Aquifers of Northwest India
(ASCE, 4/1/2020 1)The declining trends in water levels and degrading water quality in most parts of India are major concerns which need to be addressed. A hydrochemical study was carried out in parts of southwest Punjab, India to understand ... -
Bioaccumulation of Nutrients and Toxic Elements with Macrophytes
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Macrophytes (aquatic plants or hydrophytes) are sources of food and oxygen for aquatics (e.g., fish, invertebrates) and act as bioindicators for the assessment of environmental conditions in water reservoirs. This ... -
Assessment of Arsenic and Heavy Metal Pollution in Chhattisgarh, India
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Natural contamination of arsenic (As) and heavy metals (HMs) poses a health threat in many regions. Ambagarh Tehsil, Rajnandgaon, Central India, is a heavily polluted area due to mineralization of geogenic As and HMs in ... -
