[ 1 ] - Disinfection byproducts in swimming pool water in Sanandj, Iran

The present study aimed to determine the concentrations of several disinfection byproducts (DBPs), including trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and haloacetonitriles (HANs), in the public and private swimming pools in Sanandaj, Iran (n=16). Correlations between DBP levels with water quality parameters (free chlorine, pH, total organic carbon, temperature, number of swimme...

[ 2 ] - Organic dye removal from aqueous media by using acid modified Clinoptilolite

Dyes are an important class of pollutants which when discharged into water resources can be toxic to the aquatic environment and cause serious problems for public health. Various treatment technologies such as adsorption are in use. For this reason, clinoptilolite was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove color from aqueous solution. Clinoptilolite was modified with sulfuric and phosphoric aci...

[ 3 ] - Spatial distribution of fluoride in groundwater resources in selected parts of Kurdistan Province, Iran, using the geographical information system

Fluoride in drinking water has a profound effect on teeth. Since drinking water is an important source of fluoride, the evaluation of the fluoride content of water resources is necessary. Temporal variations and spatial distribution of fluoride in drinking water of some selected parts of Kurdistan Province, Iran, have been studied using geographic information system (GIS) techniques. Thus, 40 v...

[ 4 ] - Temporal and spatial variation of drinking water quality in a number of Divandareh villages, Iran: With emphasis on fluoride distribution

Fluoride is found in all water resources at different concentrations and drinking water is the major source of fluoride exposure. Thus, because of the adverse effect of fluoride in low and high concentrations, the evaluation of its content in drinking water is necessary. In the present study, the temporal variations and spatial distribution of fluoride concentrations in the drinking water of vi...

[ 5 ] - Assessment of chemical quality of drinking water in rural area of Qorveh city, Kurdistan province, Iran

Groundwater aquifers as one of the main sources of water supplies are faced with different risks such as level dropping due to lack of precipitation, and natural and non-natural pollutants. Thus, it is extremely necessary to monitor ground water quality. In the present study, the concentration of cations, anions, and some toxic metals was evaluated in 21 rural water supplies in Qorveh plain in ...

[ 6 ] - بررسی کارایی راکتور لجن فعال دارای بستر ثابت در حذف زیستی متیل‌تری‌بوتیل اتر از فاضلاب سنتتیک

چکیده زمینه و هدف: متیل‌تری‌بوتیل‌اتر (MTBE) یک ترکیب آلی فرار است که اثرات زیان‌آوری روی محیط، منابع آب‌های سطحی و زیرزمینی داشته و به دلیل حلالیت بالای آن در آب و فراریت پایین آن منجر به تغییر طعم و مزه آب آشامیدنی می‌شود. هدف از این تحقیق تعیین کارایی راکتور لجن فعال دارای بستر ثابت در حذف زیستی متیل‌تری بوتیل اتر از فاضلاب سنتتیک است. روش‌ بررسی: این تحقیق از نوع مداخله‌‍ای - کاربردی بود...

[ 7 ] - تحلیل تمایل خورندگی در سیستم تامین آب با استفاده از شاخص‌های کیفی و شاخص کمی پتانسیل ترسیب کربنات کلسیم

Background and Objective: Water corrosion and scaling are known as destructive phenomenon of drinking water quality and water facilities. In this study, the groundwater tendency to corrosion or scaling in source water, water storage reservoirs and distribution system were studied. Simultaneous use of some qualitative and a quantitative index along with statistical analyses to assess the water s...
