Pakistan faces social and health issues due to the mismanagement of municipal solid waste (MSW) in urban rural areas. Unhygienic conditions roadside disposal MSW negatively affect society, aesthetics, economy, tourism. This study aims determine potential thermal energy-based incineration technology for electricity generation volume reduction six major cities Punjab, namely Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot. In this study, heat content was calculated using...
Untreated textile industrial effluent becomes a major concern for the receiving water bodies. Extensive use of azo dyes in industries trigger to find latest techniques treatment wastewater. The purpose this study was employ electrocoagulation process effective removal from optimization parameters performed using Taguchi method analyze conditions electrode efficient dye removal. effects different including synthetic initial concentration, pH, applied voltages, interelectrode distance and...
Dyes are the most carcinogenic organic compounds that discarded by of textile industries without any prior treatment, which is harmful for environment. This study aims to develop a bentonite-clay/carbon-nanotube (CNT)-based adsorbent treat wastewater water sustainability. The preliminary and post-characterization involves scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis determine changes in...
Abstract Clean water is a necessity for all life to survive and flourish. However, natural waters are being continuously contaminated due the release of waste streams in water. Hence, it important remove pollutants from wastewater fulfill human needs. Conventional treatment methods neither efficient nor economical wastewaters that especially contain refractory toxic pollutants. This requires novel techniques like Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), may successfully degrade persistent...
Abstract. The Antarctic ozone hole arises from destruction driven by elevated levels of destroying (active) chlorine in spring. These active have to be formed first and then maintained throughout the period destruction. It is a matter debate how this maintenance brought about spring, when rate formation HCl (considered main deactivation mechanism Antarctica) extremely high. Here we show that heart (16–18 km or 85–55 hPa, core vortex), high are effective chemical cycles (referred as null...
Due to rising population and industrialization, two-thirds of the world’s may suffer water scarcity by 2025. Biodesalination is a promising sustainable practice targeting salt removal from seawater micro-organisms, using lower energy consumption resulting in less environmental impact. This study examined evolution biodesalination 2007 2022 applying bibliometric analysis. A scoping review was also conducted through content analysis publications. Using Scopus database, research trends, major...
Water pollution is a globally recognized serious problem that hindering human development and societal progress. One of the most feasible methods to eliminate this wastewater treatment reuse. Emerging micropollutants, such as pesticides, are notorious for not being removed using traditional methods. Therefore, novel techniques advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been proposed, among which photocatalytic ozonation arguably best option. Sulfoxaflor belongs relatively newer class compounds...
Estimating groundwater quality parameters through conventional methods is time-consuming laboratory measurements for megacities. There a need to develop models that can help decision-makers make policies sustainable reserves. The current study compared the efficiency of multivariate linear regressions (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) in prediction total dissolved solids (TDS) three sub-divisions Lahore, Pakistan. data this were collected every quarter year six years. ANN was applied...
The current work evaluates the capability of iron loaded zeolite A (Fe-Z4A) for first time as a heterogeneous catalyst in (Fe-Z4A/H 2 O /UV) photo Fenton process, process (Fe-Z4A/ H ) and photo-catalytic (Fe-Z4A/UV) treatment textile dye safranin.The was found to be most efficient among studied processes with highest decolorization.The influence experimental parameters such pH, Fe-Z4A dose, concentration, safranin concentration tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) on decolorization efficiency...
The co-culture of microalgae and bacteria is the most effective appropriate pathway for synergetic H2 production using photofermentative biophotolytic metabolic pathways. integration wastewater activated sludge as a waste resource in acts bacterial partner. This study assessed Chlorella vulgaris real with different carbon substrates improvement simultaneous organics removal. Three inoculum ratios 1.5:1, 1:1, 1:1.5 v/v (microalgae/activated sludge) were used glucose, sorbitol, mannitol at 10...
Water scarcity and water contamination due to the extensive use of organic compounds in industries trigger us adopt modern techniques for wastewater treatment. In this research, we developed a new dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system which was evaluated degradation nitrobenzene under different experimental arrangements. DBD produces an enormous amount active species like O3, •O, O2+ O2− •OH degrade pollutants. study, NB (Nitrobenzene) treated from by changing gas flow rate, adopting...
Public health and the aquatic environment face significant threats from pollution originating pharmaceutical wastewater (PhWW) containing stubborn antibiotics. Conventional treatment methods fail to fully eradicate these antibiotics other contaminants such as COD BOD5 due complex organic compound mixtures present in PhWW. Additionally, PhWW exhibits low biodegradability high toxicity, mainly persistence of This pressing issue has prompted scientific community seek more effective...
The biodesalination performance of the cyanophycean Phormidium keutzingianum concentrated using two methods (centrifugation and immobilization) was evaluated for first time at NaCl concentrations 10, 30, 50, 70 g/L. In addition, osmoregulation ability P. assessed high salinities (50, 70, 85, 100 g/L) over a relatively short period. pH, electrical conductivity, chloride, nitrate, phycocyanin were measured during all experiments. immobilization method concentration resulted in chloride removal...
The maintenance of large concentrations active chlorine in Antarctic spring allows strong chemical ozone destruction to occur. In the lower stratosphere (approximately 16–18 km, 85–55 hPa, 390–430 K) core polar vortex, high levels are maintained, although rapid gas-phase production HCl occurs. is achieved through null cycles which balanced by immediate reactivation. chemistry methyl peroxy radical (CH3O2) essential for these and thus loss vortex. key reaction here CH3O2 + ClO → products ;...
