Introduction: The most important affect of natural organic matters in water is their reaction with chlorine and producing of disinfection byproducts that are carcinogenic. Humic acid is most common natural organic materials of surface water. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are methods for the removal of organics from aqueous solutions. Application of electron beam radiation is one of these ...

In this paper, graphite calorimeter device which is using to calibrate the electron beam of therapy accelerators in the range of the low dose was simulated using the EGS4 calculation code. Then, the electron beam dose distributions were calculated in it and the effects of parameters such as thickness of the calorimeter core, the distance to the source, thickness of air gap around the core, thic...

Electron beam accelerators technology has made significant progress in environmental applications in recent years. Including some environmental applications of industrial accelerators, is clearing the air from oxides of nitrogen and sulfur(NOx , SOx) produced by industrial facilities. Combustion  of coal, oil, natural gas and other gases that are produced in power plant, refineries and industri...

Background and purpose: Beam shaper is a type of applicator used in conjunction with the intraoperative electron radiotherapy. This study aimed at quantitative evaluation of the photon contamination of this applicator using Monte Carlo simulation. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, at first the head of LIAC accelerator was simulated along with the beam shaper applicator using...

During the radiation therapy with electron beam, due to electron interaction and scattering from structures of the head of the medical linear accelerator, unwanted photons are produced. The main contribution of the photon contamination is resulted from the various components of the medical linear accelerator on the way of the high energy electron beam, and few percent is due to the interaction ...
