Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfapyridine (SPY), two representative sulfonamide antibiotics, have gained increasing attention because of the ecological risks these substances pose to plants, animals, and humans. This work systematically investigated the removal of SMX and SPY by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in fixed-bed columns under a broad range of conditions including: CNT incorporation method, so...

density or gravity currents have been always one of the main causes for sedimentation along many of the dam reservoirs. so controlling this phenomenon is very important for increasing useful life of such reservoirs. in this research study the effect of a combination of rough bed and obstacle on the control of sedimentary density current has been investigated. experiments were conducted in a til...

PURPOSE A number of studies have demonstrated the importance of using surgical clips to define the tumour bed in breast boost radiotherapy. In the absence of such clips, other techniques suggested to improve boost location have included CT and ultrasound (US). Determination of the depth of the tumour bed is important in the selection of electron energy. This study was conducted to prospectively...

Alluvial channel stage-discharge and depth-discharge relations were studied in a large sand-bed recirculating flume. From this study, it was found that the form of these relations are intimately related to: 1. Regime of flow 2. Form of bed roughness a. Characteristics of the bed material b. Concentration of fine sediment c. Temperature 3. Rate of change of discharge with time In the range of sh...

drying is considered as one of the important stages after plant harvesting which plays an important role in maintaining the quantity and quality of their active ingredients. st. john's wort (hypericum perforatum l.) is an important medicinal plant that high percentages of hypericin in its leaves and flowers are considered as the most important feature of the iranian species. in this resear...

An experimental approach was carried out to study the time development and extension of scouring around a circular pier protected by a collar. The experiments included the study of scouring around an unprotected pier as well as the pier protected with collars located at different levels. Width of collars was 3 times the pier diameter. It was found that with collars, though the scour depth and t...

In this study, the Bohart and Adams’ model taking into account bed depth, and influent dye concentration was studied to exhibit adsorption process of textile dyes (Basic Blue 41 – BB41 and Reactive Black 5 – RB5) in glass columns using tree barks (Eucalyptus camaldulensis). Adsorption capacity coefficient values are determined using the Bohart and Adams’ bed depth service model. The model indic...

The dynamic adsorption of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions using a granulated activated carbon and an activated carbon cloth has been studied using fixed bed adsorption column. The breakthrough curves at different hydraulic loading rates (HLR), bed depth and feed concentration (Co) have been examined. The breakthrough time at any given concentration of the effluent decreases with increasing h...
