A novel Sulfate reduction Autotrophic denitrification and Nitrification Integrated (SANI) process has been recently developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in partnership of Delft University of Technology. This novel process can remove COD through sulfate reduction and nitrate through autotrophic denitrification using produced sulfide. After a 500-day lab-scale trial, we...

The all-vanadium redox fl ow battery is a promising technology for large-scale renewable and grid energy storage, but is limited by the low energy density and poor stability of the vanadium electrolyte solutions. A new vanadium redox fl ow battery with a signifi cant improvement over the current technology is reported in this paper. This battery uses sulfate-chloride mixed electrolytes, which a...

effluent from ro (reverse osmosis) systems during recovery gradually becomes concentrated and supersaturated with soluble salts such as calcium carbonate (caco3), calcium sulfate (caso4), barium sulfate (baso4) and silica (sio2). thus we were looking for procedures to prevent precipitation of soluble salts on the membrane surface and decrease membrane permeability. therefore, recovery could be ...

conclusions magnesium at low dose decreases sore throat and pain severity more effectively compared to ketamine gargle. results there were no significant differences between age, sex, and body mass index (bmi) between two groups of patients. hemodynamics of patients, including blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation %, and conscious state were not significantly different (p > 0.05)....

in this study, the interaction of various concentrations of cadmium sulfate with peroxidase (e.c 1.11.1.7) was investigated in different temperatures (25-35 °c). for this purpose thermostability, spectrophotometry, spectroflorimetry and kinetics studies were done to obtain thermodynamic parameters including ∆g°, ∆h°m, ∆s°m, tm and also kinetics parameters including vmax and km. the results show...

The present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. Ten treatments include: SA (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mM), MeJA (0.5, 1 and 2 mM), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

In this study, the salt weathering effects on engineering properties and weight loss potential of three types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Sodium and magnesium sulfates tests were performed on core and aggregate samples. The cyclic salt weathering tests on core samples were done up to 90 cycles, while these tests on aggregate samples were done up to 40 cycles. The results showed that d...

a mathematical method for calculation of the minimum cross-sectional area of a thickener is presented by obtaining minimum laboratory batch settling test data, a function, which is called settling function, is derived. this function is found to be in the form of a polynomial of third order. the settling function and mass flux relation are used for the design of thickener. the method predicts th...
