STUDY ON SEDIMENT PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY BY USING "ARTIFICIAL NEST HOLE" IN ARIAKE BAY

Tracking Freshwater Plume Using Ocean Radar in Ariake Bay, Japan

A freshwater discharge from a river is a crucial factor to understand water circulation and ecological system near the river mouth due to the changes of seawater density and the nutrient supply for the ocean. Therefore, water pollution such as red tide is strongly dependent upon the amount of water discharged from river and the pathways of them. It is clear that there is a need to understand th...

Suspended sediment and sediment-associated contaminants in San Francisco Bay.

Water-quality managers desire information on the temporal and spatial variability of contaminant concentrations and the magnitudes of watershed and bed-sediment loads in San Francisco Bay. To help provide this information, the Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances in the San Francisco Estuary (RMP) takes advantage of the association of many contaminants with sediment particles by con...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Tracing Fine-Sediment Using Artificial Radionuclides

The environmental characteristics of many artificial gamma-emitting radionuclides provide a number of distinct advantages over other forms of fine-sediment tracer that are readily exploitable when undertaking erosion investigations. This makes them particularly effective for accurately measuring the movement of small quantities of fine-sediment, especially in low-energy environments where soil ...
