Suspended substances in car washes can often be easily removed by physicochemical processes. The main problem is to remove dissolved such as detergents from the water. In this study, a biodegradable substance Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) was wash wastewater use of Phragmites australis subsurface constructed wetland. For 4 plexiglass reactors having an effective volume 10.8 L with dimensions 15cm...

Membrane fouling precludes the widespread application of membrane filtration system from treating wastewater and drinking water, and occurs even under sub-critical flux operations. Hence the characteristics and behavior of membrane foulants should be thoroughly investigated, so as to find ways to reduce membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors. The purpose of this study is to compare the membra...

introduction: given its low and sparse precipitation both in spatial and temporal scales, iran is nestled in an arid and semiarid part of the world. on the other hand, because of population growth, urbanization and the development of agriculture and industry sector is frequently encountered with increasing water demand. the increasing trend of water demand will widen the gap between water suppl...

We document the first record of Borrelia americana in Canada. This Borrelia was detected in an avian coast tick, Ixodes auritulus (Acari: Ixodidae), collected from a Varied Thrush, Ixoreus naevius, along coastal British Columbia. Using real-time PCR and DNA sequencing of the flagellin gene, we determined that the borrelial amplicon from the I. auritulus nymph was 99% homologous with B. american...
