Aqueous core/polymer shell microcapsules with mononuclear and polynuclear core morphologies have been formed by internal phase separation from water-in-oil emulsions. The water-in-oil emulsions were prepared with the shell polymer dissolved in the aqueous phase by adding a low boiling point cosolvent. Subsequent removal of this cosolvent (by evaporation) leads to phase separation of the polymer...

aims: intensification of current environmental legislation leads to an increase wastewater treatment sludge volume. so reducing the sludge volume is considered as a strategy to improve and solve the problems of secondary pollution of sludge. dissolved air flotation (daf) as a substitute clarifier is used for separation of activated sludge liquid-solid phases. the aim of this study was to estima...

large amounts of degradable wastes including sewage water and agricultural waste or nutrients that stimulate growth of organic matter are discharged into the caspian sea. as a result, average dissolved oxygen concentration in deeper layers is decreasing. this paper presents distribution and seasonal variations of the concentration of dissolved oxygen over the southern shelf of the caspian sea a...

Assume that a cellular automaton (CA) rule enlarges subsets of Z 2 , and does so in such a way that a larger set results in a larger outcome. Such models are called monotone solidi cation CA. In the critical case, these dynamics cannot cover the lattice starting from any nite set, but are able to do so from any set with nite complement. We assume that the initial set is a product measure with s...

aims: sludge is an inescapable component of all wastewaters that originated from their treatment. dissolved air flotation (daf) process as an alternative clarifier is used in treatment of drinking water, pretreatment of wastewater, and as a phase separator in sludge activation processes. this study aimed to calibrated the usage of daf process in a laboratory scale and under various conditions, ...

polarographic method is considered as an alternative laboratory technique for analytical method in determination of dissolved oxygen and n-n03. analytical method is a time consuming technique and is subject to several interferences due to some of constituents in sewage. in this laboratory research, the polar graphic technique with, mercury drop electrodes and titrometric method were applied in ...

Robust statistical tools were applied on the water quality datasets with the aim of determining the most significance parameters and their contribution towards temporal water quality variation. Surface water samples were collected from four different sampling points during dry and wet seasons and analyzed for their physicochemical constituents. Discriminant analysis (DA) provided better results...

When supercritical CO2 is dissolved in an ionic liquid, its partial molar volume is much smaller than that observed in most other solvents. In this article we explore in atomistic detail and explain in an intuitive way the peculiar volumetric behavior experimentally observed when supercritical CO2 is dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim+] [PF6(-)]). We also provid...
