Four common techniques for the removal of dissolved oxygen from water have been examined: boiling at 1 atm, boiling under reduced pressure, purging with N(2) and sonication under reduced pressure. After treatment, the residual oxygen in solution was analysed by the Winkler method. Nitrogen purging for 20-40 min at flow rate of 25 mL/s was found to be the most effective oxygen removal method. Bo...

The Makoba integrated mariculture pond system project (IMPS) has been on-going since 1998. Except for a period from mid 1999 to 2001, various water quality parameters, namely temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved inorganic nutrients and dissolved oxygen concentration and saturation, have been monitored continuously. In 2002, measurement of sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and consumption of oxygen b...

Aeration is one of the most important factors in biological wastewater treatment process. Through aeration, oxygen is supplied to the bacteria to allow their respiration to proceed rapidly and satisfy the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). This study was carried out to determine the biological growth in aerated palm oil mill effluent (POME) when subjected to aeration using air of different oxygen...

The Choghakhor International Wetland plays an important role in preserving and protection of part of the plant and animal species in the Iranian plateau. Since the water of this wetland is utilized for different human purposes, complete periodic chemical and physical quality assessment of its water seems necessary. Water quality index (WQI) was calculated using the following eleven parameters: ...

This study is descriptive - cross sectional and  during  the 8 months from  winter of 2012 to spring and summer 2013 was performed . In this study at first, with preparation and organization the questionnaire, information about  usage, type and functionality of household treatment systems were collected. Then from 20 Household water treatment ،after water treatment, the samples were taken. samp...

The effects of dissolved oxygen concentration and pH on the growth of Brevibacterium linens CNRZ 918 and its production of methanethiol from l-methionine were investigated. Optimal specific methanethiol production was obtained at 25% saturation of dissolved oxygen and at a pH between 8 and 9, whereas optimal cell growth occurred at 50% oxygen saturation and when the pH was maintained constantly...
