For the increasing attention focused on saving endangered environments, there is a growing need for developing membrane materials able to perform complex functions such as removing radioactive pollutants and oil spills from water. A major challenge is the scalable fabrication of membranes with good mechanical and thermal stability, superior resistance to radiation, and excellent recyclability. ...

In this algorithmic project we consider how to leverage increasingly capable mobile sensor networks to simultaneously exploit a changing environment and maintain low uncertainty about the previously explored regions. This problem, known as ‘coverage-estimation’ or ‘active sensing’ in the literature, has applications in many fields: tracking interesting oceanographic or atmospheric data using a ...

Activated carbon filter is the main equipment used to remove pollutants in ventilation system a nuclear power plant. Its function radioactive iodine minimize hazards against workers area. Periodic evaluation key step for verifying its operation effectiveness, further ensure safety and long-term operation. In this paper, by changing micropore structure surface chemical properties of activated ca...

Actinides have widely entered the environment as a result of nuclear accidents and atmospheric weapon testing. These radionuclides, especially uranium, are outstanding radioactive pollutants, due to their high radiotoxicity and long half-lives. In addition to this, since depleted uranium (DU) has been used in the Balkan conflict in 1999, there has been a concern about the possible consequences ...

Pollution control and mitigation are critical to protect the ecosystem make everyone's life safer healthier. Different pollution strategies measures implemented remove pollutants, which broadly involve physical, chemical, biological methods. Biological methods found be more sustainable, effective, eco-friendlier than other two These mainly use microbes like bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, their...

To establish a strategy for public protective action from radioactive leakage in the event of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) accidents, long-term records wind data collected at Korean NPPs were analyzed. Wind characteristics related to advection and diffusion pollutants examined by analyzing direction, speed, land-sea breezes (Hanbit, Hanul, Wolsong, Kori, Shin-Kori) Korea. The study also analyzed c...
