The Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD) receives a mixture of hydrocarbons from biogenic, pyrogenic, and petrogenic processes. Source apportionment in the PAD has focussed on polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), which are ubiquitous environment susceptible to weathering. In contrast, petroleum biomarkers terpanes, hopanes, steranes degradation-resistant organic found uniquely products that can identif...

• Biochar from ligno-cellulosics is explored for wastewater treatment. Technologies to promote commercialization of sustainability are discussed. Current trends in biochars identified evaluate considerations. Existing gaps and recommendations future studies Innovation sustainable materials that efficient, economic, environmentally friendly, socially acceptable real-scale environmental applicati...

Despite many shipwrecks containing oil there is a paucity of studies investigating their impact on surrounding environments. This study evaluates any potential effect the World War II shipwreck HMS Royal Oak having benthic sediments in Scapa Flow, Scotland. (Her Majesty’s Ship) sank 1939, subsequently leaked 1960s and 1990s, estimated to still hold 697 tonnes fuel oil. In this study, were analy...

Pyrogenic dissolved organic matter (pyDOM) is known to be an important biogeochemical constituent of aquatic ecosystems and the carbon cycle. While recent studies have examined how pyDOM production, composition, photolability varies with parent pyrogenic solid material type, we lack understanding potential microbial mineralization transformation in biogeosphere. Thus, leachates oak, charred at ...

economical way of producing an on-line pharmaceutUltrafiltration (UF ) is a membrane filtration process ical grade solution (sterile and non-pyrogenic) used based on a molecular sieving exclusion [1]. The use of for substitution fluid. In this case, UF acts as a ‘cold UF in renal replacement therapy (RRT) has been sterilizing’ process. (ii) The enhanced blood purificareported in various fields ...
