In this study, aerobic digestion of tannery industry wastewater was carried out using mixed culture obtained from common effluent treatment plant treating tannery wastewater. The effect of pH, temperature, inoculum concentration, agitation speed and initial substrate concentration on the reduction of organic matters were found. The optimum conditions for COD reduction was found to be pH 7 (60%)...

Coal mining in the vicinity of location adds to burden water pollution due waste disposal activities. increase concentration and load that enters body will have an impact on reducing capacity load. This study aim provide information condition carrying River. Determination loads sources using mass balance method. characteristic w...

The Beaufort River is a complex estuarine river system that supports a variety of uses including shellfish grounds, fisheries nursery habitats, shipping access to Port Royal, receiving waters for wastewater effluent, and an 32kilometer section of the Intracoastal Waterway. The river is on the 303(d) list of impaired waters of South Carolina for low dissolved-oxygen concentrations. The Clean Wat...

The environmental issues concerning uranium mining and milling have long been paid considerable attention in wide aspects in the world [1–4]. It is well known that the industrial activities of mining and milling of uranium ores can lead to release of a tremendous amount of radioactive pollutants (wastewater and tailings, as representative carrier) that consist typically of U and Th compounds. A...

Assessing water sources for drinking and irrigation along with community vulnerability, especially in developing and rural regions, is important for reducing risk posed by poor water quality and limited water availability and accessibility. We present a case study of rural mining-agricultural communities in the Lake Poopó Basin, one of the poorest regions on the Bolivian Altiplano. Here, relati...
