Water is an essential yet constrained commodity for human communities and ecological systems depend on it. With population growth and economic development, water resource is increasingly declining. Over the past two decades, because of changes in population and climate, and relative welfare increase, the per capita consumption of water has increased.

O-Anisidines (OAs) are extensively used as an intermediate for chemical reactions to produce various triphenylmethane and azo dyes, and also in manufacturing numerous pigments. They are found to be highly toxic and have carcinogenic properties, so it is imperative to treat OA solutions before disposal. In this study a promising approach to degrade OA solutions has been carried out using Fenton’...

A thermodynamic analysis of an operational 315 MW supercritical steam power plant (SPP) using the actual data is performed to assess the plant performance and identify the sites of energy losses and exergy destructions in each component of the plant. Various performance parameters such as component energy and exergy efficiencies, energy loss rate, exergy destruction rate, improvement potential ...

prenatal lead exposure could not only affect various organ systems of the mother, but also provide a plumbeous environment for the fetus and newborns, and may affect the fetus in a number of detrimental ways. the aim of this study was to adequately determine the interaction between these factors and risky behaviors such as smoking.data from nanjing maternity and child health care hospital surve...
