In the present study, homogenous (photo-Fenton) and heterogeneous photo-assisted systems (Fenton/TiO2/UV, Fenton/ZnO/UV and Fenton/TiO2/UV/Air) were investigated for the treatment of a diesel-oil wastewater emulsion. The augmentation of the photo-Fenton process by heterogeneous TiO2 increased the...

Efficient removal of phenol was carried out using laser induced photocatalyis process in the presence of Fe2O3 semiconductor catalysts, and under UV laser irradiation. Parametric dependence of the removal process was investigated carefully by variation of laser irradiation time, laser energy, and...

The feasibility of using feathers, a waste from poultry as an absorbent for malachite green in dye wastewater was studied. The batch adsorption tests were shown to be influenced by the concentration of the dye, reaction temperature, solution pH, and pre-treatment with ethanol. In order to establish ...

This paper presents an ASTM standard test method that covers the guidelines, requirements and procedures for evaluating the ability of erosion control blankets (ECBs) to protect hillslopes from rainfall-induced erosion. The performance of an ECB in reducing rainfall-induced erosion is determined by ...
