Optimization of Reclamation of Ni(II)-Rich Solutions by γ-Alumina Nanoparticles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The present work explores the adsorption potential of γ-alumina, a nanoadsorbent for abatement of Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. A response surface methodological approach was adopted to investigate the major operating ... -
Evaluating Solid Sorbents for Recycling Wash Waters Containing Strontium and Calcium
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A system for rapid reduction of radioactive contamination and recycle of contaminated waters is called the Integrated Wash-Aid, Treatment, and Emergency Reuse System (IWATERS). First developed for cesium contaminations, ... -
Future Projection of Precipitation and Temperature Extremes Using Change Factor Method over a River Basin: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Evaluation of the changes in temporal scale and in extreme values of climatic variables is required for future hydrological modeling and policy-making. Different downscaling techniques are used to downscale global projections ... -
Packed Bed Column for Adsorption of Aqueous Phenols on Cement Kiln Dust
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Cement kiln dust (CKD) must be disposed of properly, otherwise it may cause severe pollution. The optimum solution is to minimize the undesirable environmental impacts as well as economically use it in different applications. ... -
Hysteretic Water-Retention Behavior of Bentonites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Understanding the hysteresis in the soil water characteristics of bentonites is important for predicting the hydraulic and mechanical response for many geotechnical applications. The initial drying and main wetting soil ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Adequate and accurate hydrometeorological data are very important for performing a range of hydrologic purposes, including water resources management, assessment of the impacts of climate change, and flood forecasting and ... -
Organic Degradation and Gas Generation of MSW under Controlled Constant Temperatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Temperature is an important factor affecting organic degradation and gas generation for municipal solid waste (MSW). To address this issue, a temperature-controlled water tank was designed and used to investigate organic ... -
Batch and Column Performance of Fluoride Adsorption by Java Plum Seeds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The present study used techniques such as batch and fixed-bed column adsorption techniques to explore the removal of fluoride from industrial waste water through the means of a bioadsorbent (Java plum seeds). The minimum ... -
Improved Rating System for Hazard Assessment Related to Subsurface Migration of Landfill Gas from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and Dumps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Among the hazards from landfill gas (LFG), explosions due to methane migrated from municipal solid waste (MSW) sites have resulted in evacuation, property damage, and injuries and deaths for human beings. This study develops ... -
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons: Review of a Global Environmental Issue
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic nature of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) makes the study of their generation and proliferation important from an environmental pollution perspective. Earlier studies have reported ... -
Source Identification of Indoor Particulate Matter and Health Risk Assessment in School Children
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A large number of children have been regularly exposed to elevated levels of vehicular emissions because of the proximity of urban schools to motorways. In this study, particulate matter (PM) concentrations were monitored ... -
