Development of nZVI-Pumice/Zeolite Composites for Effective Removal of Arsenic (III) from Aqueous Solution
(ASCE, 2020)Nano zero valent iron (nZVI) composites were developed with iron loading ratios of 10% and 20% (w/w) using base materials, pumice, and zeolite. The four composites (PnZVI 10, PnZVI 20, ZnZVI 10, and ZnZVI 20) developed ... -
Using Portland Cement to Stabilize/Solidify Sludge Residue from Treatment of Cardboard Plant Wastewater
(ASCE, 2020)This work presents the stabilization/solidification (S/S) process by substituting the portland mortar cement fractions by sludge. This sludge results from the wastewater treatment process of a cardboard plant by ... -
Treatment of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste in Bioelectrochemical Systems: A Review
(ASCE, 2020)The review discusses the transformation of waste to energy (WTE) through bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) treating organic waste, which makes up 47% of the total municipal solid waste generated. Emphasis is given to the ... -
Graywater Treatment in Sequencing Batch Reactor Using Simultaneous Nitrification, Denitrification, and Phosphorus Removal, with Kinetic Studies of Phosphate Adsorption onto Corncob
(ASCE, 2020)The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for the treatment of graywater using simultaneous nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal (SDNPR). The SBR ... -
Review of the Process Optimization in Microbial Fuel Cell using Design of Experiment Methodology
(ASCE, 2020)In the last couple of decades, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gained importance because of its ability to generate electricity from renewable and carbon-neutral energy sources, such as wastewater. The occurrence of ... -
Kinetics of Phenol Biodegradation by an Indigenous <i>Pseudomonas citronellolis</i> NS1 Isolated from Coke Oven Wastewater
(ASCE, 2020)Coke oven wastewater from the iron and steel plant industry is composed of highly refractory and recalcitrant phenolic pollutants. To overcome the process instability, inhibition, and poor performance of coke oven wastewater ... -
Performance Evaluation of Microbial Fuel Cell Operated with Pd or MnO<sub>2</sub> as Cathode Catalyst and <i>Chaetoceros</i> Pretreated Anodic Inoculum
(ASCE, 2020)A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioelectrochemical system that can recover bioelectricity from wastewater, with simultaneous organic matter removal from the wastewater. However, due to the inferior power production of ... -
Assessment of Heavy Metal Removal in Different Bioelectrochemical Systems: A Review
(ASCE, 2020)Global industrialization has led to an alarming level of release of hazardous and toxic metals in water bodies. Disposal of wastewater containing heavy metals can have adverse impacts on human health, as well as on other ... -
Effect of Using a Ceramic Separator on the Performance of Hydroponic Constructed Wetland-Microbial Fuel Cell
(ASCE, 2020)Lack of proper physical separation between the anodic and cathodic zones of a constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) causes higher oxygen diffusion into the anodic zone, which leads to nonproductive electron ... -
Evaluation of Health Risks in Cairo due to Deposited Dust Contaminated with Heavy Metals
(ASCE, 2020)Heavy metals in deposited dust at five urban districts in Cairo, Egypt, during 2015 were studied. Risk assessment modeling was applied to evaluate health risks of these metals for adults and children. The results show that ... -
