Potential exposure and treatment efficiency of nanoparticles in water supplies based on wastewater reclamation

Potential Impacts of Nanoparticles on Water Reclamation

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that could impact a wide range of industries in the near future. Nanotechnology involves production and use of extremely small particles (1 – 100 nm size scale), wherein the particle synthesis is controlled or manipulated at the molecular level (1). The nanoparticles are often used for industrial/commercial applications due to their extremely high reacti...

Potential investigation of Reusing Ardabil Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Based on AHP and TOPSIS Models

Introduction :By ever-increasing of population, shortage of water resources and the necessity of wastewater treatment, huge volumes of sludge that is a byproduct of wastewater treatment, requires to be disposed in environmentally secure ways. The target of specifying strategic preferences of reuse of sludge has been to find the correct way of disposal or beneficial use of sludge. Material and ...
