The Al-Najaf sea is a natural groundwater depending depression reservoir. increase in uncontrolled dumping of solid waste nearby areas and the use sewage animal manure as agricultural enhancing agents raise fear threatening life this lake by increasing metal concentrations sediments. Forty-eight samples sediments were collected, eight metals (Fe, Zn, Cr, Mn, Co, Pb, Cd, Ni) measured each sample. Five pollution indices (contamination factor, degree contamination, load index, enrichment factor...
Abstract In the present study, chemical analysis, related to heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Zn, Mn, and Fe) which considered main source of pollution in soils that come from several sources, was carried out near a three fuel stations reveal their effect on nearby soils. Samples were collected are Fuel Al Hilla city, as case it found concentrations these all below value should be available average shale, except for Pb. The concentration samples Pb (25.47 ppm), Ni (86.65 Zn (84.38 Mn (96.71 Fe (112.38...
This study presents a computer program designed in Visual Basic 6 program.The capability of this is to design wastewater treatment plant units and determination its construction cost.The deals with two types wasted sludge the first type from aeration basin, while second system secondary clarifier.Also, there detailed output shows flowrate, mass balance analysis composition each stream out unit.Program results are verified hand calculations within allowable recommended values they showed good...
Abstract This research aims to study the influence of using Nano-silica in high-performance concrete subjected external sulfate attack with different levels. Four mixes were prepared by two types Portland cement: ordinary and resistant cement. From each mix, cubic specimens cast exposure conditions. The cubes immersed sodium (Na 2 SO 4 ), magnesium (MgSO ) calcium (CaSO solutions concentrations (1.5, 10 15) %. tested for compressive strength at (3, 7, 14, 28, 90, 180, 270, 365, 545) days...
Abstract As cement production causes 7% to 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, many efforts have been made reduce the consumption cement. Using pozzolan (usually fly ash) as additional material with is one these methods. In this paper, impact adding Nano ash a partial substitution weight was studied in self-compacting concrete for rigid pavement. Three replacement ratios were used which are (5,10 and 15) % weight. The results showed that greater ratio gave better workability higher d...
