The flux of sinking particles is an important removal mechanism of carbon and other chemical species from the surface ocean as part of the biological pump. Euphotic zone export of Th was measured on GEOTRACES transects of the Atlantic Ocean to evaluate basin-scale export variability. High-resolution sampling through the entire water-column allowed for the identification of unique Th features in...

background: a laboratory study was conducted to investigate the ability of a special type of strongly basic resin mp500ws for the removal of nitrate from different waters. methods: two different types of point-of-use (pou) devices containing an identical resin were used. mp500ws known as macro porous was used in pou devices for removal of high concentrations of nitrate and sulfate ions from wat...

Raw surface and ground waters used for drinking purposes can vary markedly in their chemical and biological composition. Inorganic content (such as salt, bicarbonate, clay and metal ions), organic content (natural organic matter and anthropogenic compounds, including pollutants) and micro-organisms present in raw water are key drivers for treatment processes that provide for safe and aesthetica...

background & aims of the study: drinking polluted water can transmit diseases, so potable water treatment is one of the most challenging and complex systems in countries. continuous monitoring for evaluation process in water treatment plant is important. this study aims to investigate performance evaluation of qom water treatment plant to remove turbidity and coliform in 2005 - 2014. materials ...

background: there are great resources of natural zeolite in iran. zeolite, an inorganic ion-exchanger, may be used as a suitable technical-economical solution for water treatment in many regions of iran. in this study, the characterization of natural zeolite natrolite and the feasibility of removing hardness, cations, and anions were investigated. methods: first, zeolite composition and type we...
