One concern for recycle and reuse of scrap tires is the leaching of tire constituents (organic and inorganic) with time, and their subsequent potential harmful impacts in environment. The main objective of this study was to examine the leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved nitrogen (DN), and selected inorganic constituents from scrap tires. Different sizes of tire chips and crum...

[1] Marine dissolved organic matter is a massive reservoir of carbon holding >200x the ocean biomass inventory. Primarily produced at the ocean surface and then exported to depth with overturn of the water column, this carbon can be sequestered in the ocean interior for centuries. Understanding the loss of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) upon export has been data limited, but recent global ocean...

Estuarine processes play a key role in determining the amount and quality of land-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) reaching oceans. Microbial-mediated reactions can affect concentration, quality, bioavailability DOM within an estuary. In this study, we investigated biological removal small estuary its variability two contrasting seasons (spring autumn) characterized by natural differences...

Recent advances in the study of spontaneous brain activity have demonstrated activity patterns that emerge with no task performance or sensory stimulation; these discoveries hold promise for the study of higher-order associative network functionality. Additionally, such advances are argued to be relevant in pathological states, such as disorders of consciousness (DOC), i.e., coma, vegetative an...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) play a vital role in attenuating contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) during potable water reuse. AOPs are conventionally performed by irradiating with 254-nm low-pressure (LP) mercury-vapor (Hg) ultraviolet (UV) lamp along chemical treatment. Compared UV-C light treatment (200–280 nm), vacuum-UV (V-UV) (100–200 nm) is advantageous terms hydroxyl radical g...

Haloacetamides (HAcAms) are an emerging class of nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) of health concern. However, there are very limited data on the formation and speciation of the nine bromine- and chlorine-containing haloacetamides (HAcAm9). In the study, their formation and speciation during chlor(am)ination were investigated for a group of waters with a range of specific ultraviole...

conclusions the uv/zno system has been found an effective process with 90.2% cod removal and 95.6% dye removal after 50 minutes treatment. materials and methods in this work, zno catalyst and mercury lamp (uv-c, 254 nm) have been applied for removal of the c.i. sulphur red 14 dye from aqueous environments. the influence of various parameters such as the amount of zno, initial dye concentration,...

introduction: humic acid (ha) is one the original disinfection byproducts processors in water treatment. so, removing it is necessary before water chlorination. in the present study, photodegredation of humic acid in water using ag/zno nano particle under uvc irradiation in batch system was investigated. material and methods: photocatalytic study was carried out to evaluate the effect of uvc (1...

background: natural organic matter is the cause of many problems associated with water treatment such as the presence of disinfection by-products (dbps) and membrane fouling during water filtration. in this study, the performance of the peroxi-electrocoagulation process (pep) was investigated for the removal of humic acids (has) from aqueous solutions. methods: pep was carried out for the remov...
