background: in the recent years, eutrophication has become a serious challenge for many of the water ecosystems. it has affected the environmental and economical aspects of the anzali wetland, which is known as one of the significant ecosystem. due to the increase of the nutrient loadings from the industrial, agricultural and human activities, the wetland’s health is faced many serious problems...

high levels of turbidity and suspended solids are the major disadvantages of aerated lagoons. aerated lagoon effluent filtration was investigated by horizontal roughing filter (hrf). removal efficiencies were determined by examining total phosphorus (tp) and total kjeldahl nitrogen (tkn) from hrf influent and effluent, simultaneously. hrf pilot system located on effluent pump station of qom was...

Introduction:preeclampsia has remained one of the important obstetrical problems for which different factors have been suggested.decrease of serum levels of albumin,total protein and phosphorous have been suggested in the pathophysiology of precclampsia.the aim of this study was to determine serum levels of albumin,total protein and phosphorous in normal pregnancy and preeclamptic woman.   Me...

OBJECTIVE Abnormalities in frontal lobe phosphorous metabolism in patients with bipolar disorder have been reported, but many of the patients studied were receiving lithium. In this study, medication-free bipolar patients were examined to determine abnormalities in frontal lobe high-energy phosphorous metabolism. METHOD In vivo phosphorous-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging was perfo...

Total phosphorous (TP) and total suspended sediment (TSS) pollution is a problem in the US Midwest and is of particular concern in the Great Lakes region where many water bodies are already eutrophic. Increases in monoculture corn planting to feed ethanol based biofuel production could exacerbate these already stressed water bodies. In this study we expand on the previous studies relating lands...

The use of constructed wetlands for purifying pre-treated wastewater is a cost effective technology that has been found to be more appropriate for many developing countries. The technology is also environmentally friendly with the wetlands being habitats for many water birds and other aquatic organisms. This study assessed nutrient removal efficiency of two floating macrophytes (Lemna minor...

Recovering nutrients, especially phosphate resource, from wastewater have attracted increasing interest recently. Herein, an intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor (MBR) with a mesh filter was developed for simultaneous chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN) and phosphorous removal, followed by phosphorus recovery from the phosphorus-rich sludge. This integrated system showed enh...
