Although in water-deficient regions, agricultural runoff, drainage water or surplus irrigation is often used, there are constraints related to its quality be considered (salinity, nutrients and pollutants). Thus, it necessary treat considering the low-energy supply systems available farmers. This work focuses on a nature-based treatment system consisting of two prototypes anaerobic bioreactors ...

Introduction: Reverse osmosis (RO) is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from seawater to get fresh water), but since the early 1970s it has also been used to purify fresh water for medical, industrial, and domestic applications. The aim of this research was the performance study of reverse osmosis plants for water desalination in Bandar-Lengeh, Iran. Materials and Meth...

Population’s exponential growth along with drought has increased water resources limitation, especially in arid and semi-arid area. Therefore, the use of non-conventional water is an important tool for water resource management. If unconventional water has no negative impact on soil properties and water, it can be used for irrigation coupled with desertification projects. So, this paper tries t...

berangan banana were treated with hot water at 50 ºc for 0 (control), 10, and 20 min and then kept at room temperature (25±2 ºc), 75-80% rh to observe the ripening progress. firmness and activity of cell wall degradation enzymes such as polygalacturonase (pg), pectin methylesterase (pme), and pectate lyase (pl) were determined for treated and untreated banana. the microstructure of banana peel ...

several common approaches are used for disinfection of water in this section, but using the approaches (e.g. chlorination) are accompanied with hazardous by-products and also lead to notable changes in odor and flavor of water. gamma irradiation as an emerging method has been encouraged currently by fao/who for water, wastewater and food treatment. coliform bacteria belong to common contaminant...

An attempt to use treated wastewater for agriculture in the Chiang Mai area was made, but the re-use process had to be performed under a condition that limited the risks liable to leave pathogens present in the water. The objective of our study was to examine the intestinal parasites and enteric bacteria in the wastewater and treated wastewater from the Chiang Mai University campus as well as t...
