The use of satellites to monitor the color of the ocean requires effective removal of the atmosphere signal. The methods for treating the atmosphere have depended on the high absorption of red and near-infrared (NIR) light by water. In coastal waters, the presence of water-leaving radiances in the NIR introduces two sources of error into the removal of the aerosol. As a result, the atmospheric ...

the optimization of process conditions for the degradation of acid blue 193 by uv/peroxydisulfate was investigated using response surface methodology (rsm). the effects of four parameters namely initial k2s2o8 concentration, uv irradiation, temperature, and initial dye concentration on two process responses, color removal and the rate constants of the first-order kinetic equations, were investi...

the color removal of three reactive dyes in an aquatic system without priortreatment was studied. selected commercial dyes were treated with nac102 anduv as oxidation agents. effects of nature of oxidant, temperature, ph ofsolutions, concentration of c107—, contact time of c102— and uv irradiation wereinvestigated. optimal c102— concentration for color removal in the absence of uvirradiation wa...

In this study trichloroethylene (TCE) removal from model solutions and groundwater by ferrate treatment was investigated applying different initial TCE concentrations, ferrate dosages and pH values. TCE concentrations were measured both in the vapor and liquid phases of water samples with head space gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (HS/GC-MS) and solid phase micro-extraction gas chromatograp...

In this research, a response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effects of independent parameters (pH, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration of pollutant), their simultaneous interactions, and quadratic effects on crystal violet adsorption onto two starch based materials in the form of batch experiments. The characterizing results indicated th...

This study aims at coupling coal cinder filter with biological process to improve pharmaceutical wastewater quality and reduce the disposal cost. In the coal cinder filter, the removal efficiencies of COD, BOD(5), SS and color were 90+/-2%, 72+/-2%, 95+/-2% and 80+/-2%, respectively. The results attribute to the big specific surface area and strong adsorption ability. Coal cinder filter removes...

The elimination of selected pharmaceuticals (bezafibrate, clofibric acid, carbamazepine, diclofenac) during drinking water treatment processes was investigated at lab and pilot scale and in real waterworks. No significant removal of pharmaceuticals was observed in batch experiments with sand under natural aerobic and anoxic conditions, thus indicating low sorption properties and high persistenc...
