The conventional landfilling does not promote sustainable waste management due to uncontrolled emissions which potentially degrade the environment. In this regard, pre-treatment of municipal solid waste prior to landfilling significantly enhance waste stabilization and provides various advantages. So in this regard pre-treatment methods of municipal solid waste were investigated. The major obje...

samples of crushed and cooked canola seeds (okapy double zero) were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (scco2) at 34 mpa and 40ºc and a commercial organic solvent (aw406). the oil solubility in scco2 was determined and extracted oils were examined with respect to their chlorophyll contents, nonsaponifiable matters, fatty acid composition and iodine value. the yield of scco2 extraction...

Under favorable soil conditions such as existence of easily destructible organic compounds, balanced heat and moisture, adequate ventilation and abundant nutrients, organic materials are mineralized. Once mineralizing occurs, mineral elements like P, S, Ca, Mg, K and other cations are released. A related study was conducted to determine the effect of seven organic fertilizers (Leaf Mold (LM), R...

In the present paper, nanosized TiO2 supported by zeolite was used in the ozonation of Songhua River as catalyst. The catalytic activity of TiO2/Zeolite for ozonation was testified by nitrobenzene removal, which is one kind of representatively resistant organic contaminant. And the removal of some organic and inorganic compounds existing in the Songhua River by TiO2/Zeolite catalyzed ozonation ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate phosphorus limitation and its effect on the removal efficiency of organic matters in drinking water biological treatment. METHODS Bacterial growth potential (BGP) method and a pair of parallel pilot-scale biofilters were used for the two objectives, respectively. RESULTS The addition of phosphorus could substantially increase the BGPs of the water samples and the ef...

--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------Pilot plant composed of fabric filters integrated with the decentralized treatment plant ZECUwas tested for its ability to remove the suspended solids and organic matters presented as TSS, CODt and CODs from wastewater. The filters were made from scrim polyester non-woven fa...

In this study, an experimental and analytical study on adsorption and adsorption kinetics of organic matters in titanium oxide (TiO2, Degussa P25) with synthetic wastewater was investigated. In order to understand the removal of different organic sizes in detail molecular weight (MW) distribution of organics matters was examined in terms of number and weight-average MW. The large MW (33950 dalt...
