In recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), particulates (including feces, uneaten feed, bacteria, and algae) can cause several problems, in that they may harbor pathogens, physically irritate the fish, upon decomposition, release ammonia consume oxygen. Mechanical filters, foam fractionators, other engineered devices are used to remove particles quickly from systems, order improve fish health decrease load on biofilters oxygenators. Ozone is RAS as a disinfectant, organic carbon, also...
Water desalination via thermal evaporation using plasmonic nanostructures which harness and convert solar irradiation to provide the requisite heat input is gaining interest as a scalable sustainable method address global freshwater scarcity. To meet growing demand in such manner, new, inexpensive nanomaterials that exhibit high solar-to-vapor-conversion efficiencies are being sought. Here, metal nitride interfaces consisting of TiN, ZrN, HfN nanoparticles (NPs) with sizes ranging between 10...
A simple passive sampling protocol using cheesecloth and electronegative filters coupled with a Tween®20-based elution technique provided reliable detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater at targeted locations region low COVID-19 prevalence.
In developing an effective monitoring program for the wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA), importance sampling methodology is paramount. Passive has been shown to be tool detect RNA in wastewater. However, adsorption characteristics on passive material are not well-understood, which further obscures relationship between and community infection. this work, kinetics equilibrium were evaluated using batch-adsorption experiments heat-inactivated (HI-SCV-2)...
Based on recent studies, passive sampling is a promising method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater surveillance (WWS) applications. Passive has many advantages over conventional approaches. However, the potential benefits of are also coupled with apparent limitations. We established technique severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using electronegative filters. Though, it was evident that adsorption capacity filters constrained their use. This work intends to...
Lead service line replacement (LSLR) is an important strategy for reducing lead exposure via drinking water, but jurisdictional issues can sometimes interfere with full of the line. The effects and partial LSLR on levels were assessed using 5 × 1-L sample profiles collected at more than 100 single-unit residences. Profiles comprised four sequential standing samples (L1-L4) a free-flowing (L5) drawn after min flush outlet. At 45 sites lines, 90th percentile in ranged from 16.4 to 44.5 μg...
Electrocoagulation (EC) is a water treatment technology that has been proven effective at the bench scale for removal of wide variety contaminants from and wastewater. It an electrochemical process involves using sacrificial anode to generate cations coagulation. also evolves hydrogen gas cathode, which some researchers have suggested can be used natural flotation. EC number advantages over conventional chemical coagulation (CC). For instance, solid metal electrodes tend easier move store...
