In this study, a water quality model of Haraz basin was used as an evaluative tool to estimate the spatial distribution of variables that are related to water quality and nutrient loads of the Haraz River. Previous studies performed in this river indicate that trout culture activity along the Haraz River have led to various changes in the water quality parameters. In the present work, the possi...

Aeration is one of the most important factors in biological wastewater treatment process. Through aeration, oxygen is supplied to the bacteria to allow their respiration to proceed rapidly and satisfy the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). This study was carried out to determine the biological growth in aerated palm oil mill effluent (POME) when subjected to aeration using air of different oxygen...

Introduction Dissolved gases,with dissolved oxygen serving as the primary marker,have been widely documented to influence dissolution experiments. The dissolved gases can cause changes in the performance of the dissolution medium by changing pH,forming bubbles on the dosage form or altering the interaction of the medium and the active pharmaceutical ingredient [1]. Extensive studies have been p...

The present investigation provides data on physico-chemical parameters, some major ions and nutrients on water samples of Tinishu Akaki River (TAR), Ethiopia. The pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3-, SO42-, NO3-, NO2-, PO43-, Cland NH3 have been determined t...

The idea of systems analysis and mathematical modeling for formulating and resolving river pollution issues is of relatively recent vintage and has been applied widely in the last 3 decades. The present study illustrates the utility of Beck-modified Khanna–Bhutiani model (BMKB) to determine the pollution load due to the presence of organic matter in River Ganga from its course from Devprayag to...

the influence of leachate from open solid waste dumping near salhad stream (abbottabad, pakistan) was investigated to quantify the variations of water quality during august 2007 to april 2008. samples were collected from five different sites located along the salhad stream. two sites were located before the mixing of solid waste leachate with the surface water. one sampling site was of leach...

The aim of this study was the preparation and characterization of a bioluminescence bacteria sheet in view of the fabrication of an oxygen marker inside a biofilm. Photobacterium kishitanii sheets were prepared using sodium alginate, and a biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was dropped over it. The relationship between the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the biofilm and luminescence fro...

Most often, our waterways are being polluted by municipal, agricultural and industrial wastes. When this happens, much of the available dissolved oxygen is consumed by aerobic bacteria in decomposing the waste, thereby robbing other aquatic organisms of the oxygen they need to live. In this paper, we consider the solution of the optimal control problem for the modified Dissolve Oxygen(DO)/ Biol...
