Australian Hardboards (AHL) own and operate a wet process hardboard manufacturing plant in Queensland, Australia, that generates a significant quantity of process water effluent during the production of Masonite. AHL management recognised that there were significant opportunities to reduce water and energy usage in the process without adversely affecting product quality. Sinclair Knight Merz (S...

Aquatic macrophytes have been widely studied because of their capability of absorbing contaminants from water and their subsequent use in biomonitoring. This study presents a comparison of Cr accumulating potential of submerged aquatic plants viz Vallisneria spiralis and Hydrilla verticillata. These plants were treated with various concentrations of treated tannery effluent collected from UASB,...

A simple fast and precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of Primidone Tablets. A symmetry (5μ, 150 x 4 .6mm column) in isocratic mode with methanol: Water (50:50) as mobile phase. The Flow rate is1.0ml/min and effluent is

The effects of changes in glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow on the renal handling of Cor '"l-labeled angiotensin II were studied in pentobarbitai-anesthetized dogs. Labeled angiotension II was injected as a bolus directly into the renal artery and the renal venous effluent was collected. Under control conditions, 52 ± 8% of the labeled material recovered was angiotensin II and the...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is complicated by peritonitis episodes that cause loss of mesothelium and eventually sclerosing peritonitis. An improved understanding of the molecular contributors to peritoneal injury and defense may increase the therapeutic armamentarium to optimize peritoneal defenses while minimizing peritoneal injury. There is no information on the expression and function of the c...

Gravity-driven flow of concentrated suspensions (solid volume fraction ϕ>0.50) of non-brownian spherical particles through a channel contraction at low Reynolds number is studied experimentally. The abrupt change in the flow area at the contraction forms distinct shear-rate regions having different fluid pressures, which are related to the concept of particle pressure. A model involving particl...

BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to collagen degradation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix after myocardial infarction; however, their role in myocardial dysfunction immediately after ischemia and reperfusion is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured the release of MMPs into the coronary effluent of isolated, perfused rat hearts during aerobic perfusion and re...

In Egypt, there is a growing realization between experts and decision makers that low-cost anaerobic treatment technologies such as the Up-flow septic tank followed by anaerobic baffled reactor is a promising technology. It is characterized by its high organic removal efficiency, simplicity, low capital and maintenance costs. However, anaerobic treatment produces wastewater which is not complyi...

In this study conditions of refinement of car wash effluent from Paniz station in omidiyeh, Khuzestan by microfiltration polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF- MFB) membrane with pore size 0.13 micrometer by taguchi method was investigated. Taguchi method has been applied to investigate the effect of various operating parameters such as feed pressure at 3 levels (0.4, 0.7 and 1.00 bars), feed Flow rate...

During the last two decades the brewing industry has shown increasing awareness for environmental protection and the need of sustainable production processes. Implementation of ISO 14001 certification and more stringent environmental legislation have been important drivers for the brewing industry to invest in biological effluent treatment. The role of biological effluent treatment is discussed...
