Mg/Al double-metal hydroxide regeneration of anion exchange resin by electric field intensification
Fouled anion exchange resins were regenerated by electric field intensification of Mg/Al double-metal hydroxides. Regenerative experiments were performed with varying voltages (10–30 V) and dosages of Mg/Al hydroxides (0.045–0.135 mol and 0.015–0.045 mol, respectively) for 1–5 h. Optimal results were obtained under the following regenerative conditions: 20 V, 4 h, and 0.09/0.03 mol of Mg/Al ...

Joint estimation of hydraulic conductivities of two sand samples in a W-tube system with a bi-exponential response
The motivation for this paper is the practical problem of interpreting bi-exponential rate-of-rise curves that are observed during many field piezometric tests. In the authors' previous study, a laboratory W-tube system of water flow through two samples of sand was introduced with an adequate mathematical model. The desired bi-exponential character of water flow was obtained by placing two ...

Settlement of Compacted Clay in a Cyclic Direct Simple Shear Device
The results of 36 cyclic strain-controlled direct simple shear tests on a low-plasticity compacted clay are presented and analyzed. The tests were conducted in a Marshall Silver-type device, which utilizes the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) type of short cylinder specimen confined in a wire-reinforced rubber membrane. Three degrees of compaction achieved by the modified compaction test ...

Identifying the causes of sediment‐associated toxicity in urban waterways in South China: Incorporating bioavailabillity‐based measearuments into whole‐sediment toxicity identification evaluation
Sediments in urban waterways of Guangzhou, China were contaminated by a variety of chemicals and showed prevalent toxicity to benthic organisms. A combination of whole‐sediment toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) procedure and bioavailability‐based extraction approaches were used to identify the causes of sediment toxicity. Four of the six sediment samples collected caused 100% mortality ...

Testing for inflation convergence: a panel unit–root approach
We conduct empirical analyses to study the inflation performance in three groups of economies, namely the European Monetary Union (EMU), the developed and the developing inflation targeting (IT) economies. In particular, our first objective is to compare the performance of inflation targeting regime versus monetary union of EMU in achieving lower inflation rate. The second objective is to detect ...

Global value chain reconfiguration through external linkages and the development of newcomers: a global story of clusters and innovation
Industrial district literature has focused on local endogenous development. So far, these works analyse the external ties between clusters and the reconfiguration of global value chains (GVC) in the last decade, opening a new research stream to understand innovation and its impact on differing territories. This article analyses intercluster linkages through multinational enterprise (MNE) ...

Excess propagation and disinfection control of Copepod in an ozone-granular activated carbon filter in southern China
The reasons for the excess propagation of Copepod in an ozone-granular activated carbon filter were investigated and batch experiments were conducted to analyze the influences of CT value, pH and organic matter on the efficiency of disinfection of Copepod using chlorine and chloramines. The experimental results revealed that Copepod accounted for 70% of the zooplankton in the sand filter effluent ...

Organic matter removal during pilot-scale soil aquifer treatment for domestic wastewater in the tropics
The potential of enhancing water uses using soil aquifer treatment (SAT) is an interesting alternative for tropical regions, limited only by lack of knowledge on its performance in local conditions and the feasibility of adapting this technology. A SAT pilot study was conducted to analyze the phenomena associated with the transformation of organic matter (OM) from domestic wastewater. ...

A clustering–based analysis of a social internetworking scenario
Social network analysis is an emergent research stream aiming at studying the characteristics of social networks. Several methodologies have been developed to extract useful knowledge from single social networks, but little attention has been devoted to studying multi–social–network scenarios, whose importance is, by contrast, dramatically growing, because social internetworking systems may offer ...

Electrokinetics - Technology Overview
Electrokinetics separates and extracts contaminants from saturated or unsaturated soils, sludges and sediments, and groundwater. The goal of electrokinetic remediation is to effect the migration of subsurface contaminants in an imposed electric field via electroosmosis, electromigration and/or electrophoresis. These phenomena occur when the soil is electrically charged with a low voltage current. ...

RO filtration of biologically treated textile and dyeing effluents using ozonation as a pre-treatment
Bench-scale experiments were conducted to investigate the application of ozonation pre-treatment for biologically treated textile and dyeing wastewater to improve performance of the RO process. Based on ozonation experiments, four specific ozone consumptions (SOC), 0, 0.3, 0.6, 4.0 mg O3/mg DOC0 were chosen for study of the effects of ozonation on the reverse osmosis (RO) process. Membrane flux ...
