The great potential of the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) provides novel and alternative ways to monitor important parameters with high accuracy. In this study, we developed a soft sensor model for dynamic processes based on CNN measurement suspended solids turbidity from single image liquid sample be measured by using commercial smartphone camera (Android or IOS system) light-emitting di...

heavy metals are considered one of the most important environmental pollution and are dissolved form or adsorbed to the suspended solides in the urban storm runoffs and infiltratire ponds. in this article the heavy metals of urban storm runoff and sediments of infiltration pond in shiraz city have been investigated. the results show different pollutions in the urban storm runoffs such as dissol...

In the present study the hydrographical parameters like temperature, hydrogen ion concentration (pH), salinity, conductivity, light penetration, turbidity, total suspended solids (mg/l), total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen (mg/l), biological oxygen demand (mg/l) and nutrients of the surface waters were studied in both stations of Manamelkudi and S.P. Pattinam. All the physico-chemical para...

Three Methocel methylcellulose ethers of 1.9 degree of substitution with [14C]methyl labels were shown to be biodegradable using batch-type activated sludge tests. The maximum rate for conversion to 14CO2, attained after 1 week, was only 0.62 mg of methylcellulose/g of mixed liquor volatile solids per day. In 20 days, 55 to 73% of the radioactivity had been removed from solution as 14CO2, and t...

The efficacy of a laboratory electrocoagulation (EC) system for treating egg processing plant wastewater (WW) is reported. For simulated and industrial egg processingWW, chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS) were reduced 92 to 97%, 97%, and 99%, respectively, after treatment with EC. The final TSS concentration and turbidity values were 30 mg/ L and 5 formazin turb...

This research evaluated the efficiency of combined anaerobic-aerobic processes for the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater. The anaerobic reactor consists of a 3.95 L Plexiglas column with 60 mm diameter and 140 cm height. The cylindrical particles of polyvinyl chloride with 2 mm diameter and 1250 kg m-3 density packed to 60 cm of column were used as biomass saving material. The d...

Recovery of sugars from cane molasses (i.e. the by-product of sugar industries) is of great interest to industry and academia. The prerequisite for refning cane molasses is removal of pigments and suspended solids present in the molasses. In this work, the utilization of membrane separation for clarifcation and decoloration of cane molasses has been examined. Three oper...

Small particles typical of liquid swine manure often clog sand filter beds and fine filters. We evaluated the effectiveness of polymer flocculants to improve drainage and filtration performance of sand filter beds by increasing the particle size of manure. A pilot separation unit was evaluated at the Swine Unit of the NCSU Lake Wheeler Road Laboratory in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 40 consecuti...
