Emerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle slurry. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of chemical amendment of slurry to reduce incidental losses of P and suspended sediment (SS) from grassland follow...

This paper presents the results of an investigation that aimed to evaluate the efficiency of various inorganic coagulants and organic polymers to combat filamentous foaming and bulking problems, caused by the proliferation of M. parvicella and/or Gordona amarae. The duration of the investigation covered 14 months. During this period foam samples were taken from the aeration basins of two full-s...

large reserves of coal in tabas region of iran are characterized by low ash and high caking index, suitable for use in metallurgy as coking coal. however, these coals cannot be gainfully utilized because of their high sulfur content. in this work, studies on desulfurization of tabas coals were carried out in a batch reactor using various reagents. the most effective reagents, fe2(so4)3 , fecl3 ...

abstract        background and objective: aluminum salts are among the most common useful additive compounds in preparation of human and animal vaccines. aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide are two additives that show good immunoadjuvant effects with many antigens. aluminum-containing vaccines lead to a better and longer immune response compared to adjuvant-lacking vaccines. the chromogen...

Arsenic leachability in water treatment adsorbents was studied using batch leaching tests, surface complexation modeling and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. Spent adsorbents were collected from five pilot-scale filters that were tested for removal of arsenic from groundwater in Southern New Jersey. The spent media included granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), granular...

The objective of the present paper was to show the various macro-lmicrostructural appearances of the ODs materials MA 956 and PM 2000 at the surface and in the bulk after exposure to high temperatures in combustion chambers (gaseous environment). At the surface a chromium oxide layer forms above the alumina layer originally formed after preoxidation. At locations where the surface has been melt...
