Introduction: Natural organic matters (NOMs) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (DBPs). Humic matters like humic acid (HA) are component of NOMs that should be removed from water. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is one of the NOMs removal methods. The aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...

CNC turning is widely used as a manufacturing process through which unwanted material is removed to get the high degree of surface rough. In this research article, Taguchi technique was coupled with grey relation analysis (GRA) to optimize the turning parameters for simultaneous improvement of productivity, average surface roughness (Ra), and root mean square roughness (Rq).Taguchi technique L2...

Ion Exchange (IEX) has been widely explored for the removal of organic matter. Chloride is traditionally used as counter-ion, but its release into water can increase risk corrosion. Research shown that bicarbonate IEX be an efficient alternative, and whilst some studies have compared efficiency to chloride IEX, none their performance in relation potential disinfection by-product (DBPs) formatio...

Background: Poultry droppings from poultry farms and rice husks obtained from rice milling process are generally considered as wastes and discarded in Nigeria. Although many studies have shown that microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can generate electricity from organic wastes, little or no study have examined MFCs for generating electricity from poultry droppings and rice husk as electrode material. ...

The feasibility of ozonation process for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) removal follows from results of ozonation of the model wastewater. Total removal of 2-MBT was observed after 20 minutes of ozonation. Very good reproducibility of repeated ozonation trials including sampling and analysis was observed. However, the majority of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) ...

Peatland reservoirs are global hotspots for drinking water provision and likely to become more important as demand per capita rises the climate changes. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is associated with harmful disinfection byproducts reduced aesthetic quality, its removal major treatment cost. Littoral zones known be disproportionately DOC production through macrophyte inputs, such communities...
