Lakshmanan R., Okoli C., Boutonnet M., Järås S., Rajarao G.K., Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), SE
The removal of contaminants in wastewater treatment process is challenging due to complex substances, time and cost involved thus, advance technologies in the treatment process are necessary. The present study investigates the potential of magnetic [...]
Life Cycle Assessment for Assessing Carbon Footprints of Water Supply System in Taiwan
This study aims to calculate the carbon footprints of two water supply systems in Taiwan, one is a traditional water treatment plant (FYWTP) and another is a seawater desalination plant (KSDP) and each with different [...]
Sustainability Stations
The Sustainability Stations is a project focused in solve Mexico City´s problem of lack of water and inundations. Both situations are related to the water extraction from the water table, being the principal source of [...]
The Importance of Accurate Open Channel Flow Measurement
Open channel flow measurement is important due to decreasing water supplies and growing concerns regarding municipal water measurement. These flows need to be metered to minimize the margin of error. The Parshall flume in some [...]
Behaviour of mesoporous silica (MCM-41) supported catalysts in degradation reactions
Research was carried out to investigate several aspects of Mobil’s composition of matter #41 (MCM-41) pertaining to its potential application in water treatment technologies. It was found that Pd-impregnated MCM-41 (Pd/MCM-41) has enhanced stability in [...]
Evaluation of the Treatment for Petroleum Production Wastewater Industry Using Artificial Wetland Planted with Eichhornia Crassipes
Two artificial pilot scale wetlands of 384 l of volume with 60 cm of sand and gravel were evaluated for establish the behavior of Eichhornia crassipes in petroleum production wastewater treatment. One of the wetlands [...]
CNanoz Nanotechnology Based – Water Purification System
Carbon nano and alumina nano materials are two key constituents used for water purification. Each serves a different purpose in the water purification process. The carbon nano material treated with dilute acid removes the bacteria, [...]
Synthesis and Study of Novel Nanostructured Membranes Incorporating N-doped CNTs for Water Treatment
The presentation presents blend membranes of polyethersulfone containing Ag nanoparticles dispersed on N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs). The blend membranes were checked for any improved properties and tested for their efficacy in removing model pollutants from [...]
Composite Membranes for Environmental Applications
In the context of reduction of toxic Cr (VI) in tannery effluents, an organic-inorganic hybrid materials were envisaged as new membrane materials of better properties and polysulfone membrane has been modified to form an PSf/TiO2 [...]
