A detention basin is designed for storm water quantity and quality controls. An in-stream basin is often located on a widened floodplain, while an off-stream basin can be part of open space in a parking lot, park, or sport field. The inflow channel associated with an off-stream basin is allowed to carry its base flow not to exceed the downstream capacity. When the inflow channel is full, the ex...

The impact of coagulant type and dosage on the clarity, zeta potential, floc size, structure a coal slurry suspension was investigated. results showed that critical coagulation concentrations trivalent ions are 0.81 mM 0.018 for coal–coal coal–kaolinite, respectively, which lower than those divalent ions. initial settling more affected by AlCl3 FeCl3 MgCl2 CaCl2, while supernatant turbidity sig...

A standardized image analysis method has been developed permitting determination of the number of yeast flocs and their size distribution. The method includes image grabbing, image enhancement, automatic determination of the appropriate threshold, curve fitting of the areahistogram, determination of the mean single floc area and its standard deviation, and floc counting. The extension of the me...
