Weee Directive
ISBN: 9783844320787 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Technological and industrial progress introduced not only new mechanisms and materials; it also introduced new types of waste. Recent decades showed elevated concerns about waste generation rates, particularly those from electrical and electronic equipment. The solution to this problem cannot be solely technological, but should also rely on integration of environmental factors into waste management culture: product design, policy design, and also re-visiting of the consumption patterns and attitudes of the consuming public. The WEEE Directive has a potential to not only deliver...

Designing Nanophotocatalysts by Ils for Decolorizing Waste Water
ISBN: 9783844305968 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recently, it is demonstrated that semi-conducting materials, which are capable of mediating photocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds, can be alternatives to conventional methods for the removal of organic pollutants from water. Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants by nanostructured semiconductors offers great potentials for the complete elimination of toxic chemicals and environmental pollutions. Scientists are investigating many semiconductors that can utilize visible light to degrade a high number of recalcitrant materials in aqueous system. The monograph therefore focuses...

Biosorptive Remediation of Arsenic and Selenium
ISBN: 9783844331998 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arsenic has been a center of controversy in human history since its isolation. Its presence in water, especially in groundwater, has been recognized as a major problem of catastrophic proportions. Its toxicity and health hazards are reported for years. Selenium, though an essential nutrient for human and animal health, shows toxic effects above 400 ug/day. Higher intake in humans results in selenosis and other hazards. Both As and Se enter into water system through geogenic and anthropogenic activities. Technologies reported for remediation of these metal ions from contaminated waters have...

Non-Point Source Pollution Modelling with GIS
ISBN: 9783844318210 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last few decades, non-point source (NPS) pollution has grown into a global environmental issue. The Annualized Agricultural Non-Point Source pollutant model (AnnAGNPS) is a watershed modelling tool to predict runoff, peak flow, sediment loading and nutrient loadings. The present study has been carried out in Seberang Perai Selatan to develop regional models for rainfall erosivity (EI30) values, to evaluate the performance of AnnAGNPS under Malaysian condition and to introduce the model as a long-term watershed monitoring system in the country. Three different modelling procedures...

Lake Mariout
ISBN: 9783844325393 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It goes without saying that pollution issues have attracted the views in the last decades not only because of its dangerous but also the decrease of the natural resources. Because of that we present here a brief study on a Lake Mariout as an example of pollution matter, and we struggled - or may be burnt some mid night oil - to put some recommendations to help increasing the efficiency of the lake. In chapter one, We gave a brief look on the Lake Mariout, the location, history and its development throughout the years, through chapter two, we move talking about the pollution sources and its...

A Study on The Potential for Artificial Groundwater Recharge
ISBN: 9783844382013 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is facing an acute shortage of water supply during the summer. The water table becomes low and the tube-wells can not pump out the groundwater. This scenario is happening now because the only water supply authority for Dhaka city, Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA), is mainly dependent on groundwater for providing water supply to the consumers. This had deteriorated the condition of groundwater. The groundwater table depleted to a very lower level for which the DWASA is abstracting water from a depth of 300 meter or more. With this...

Soil Moisture Retrieval Using Passive Microwave Data
ISBN: 9783844321951 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soil moisture values derived from remote sensing platforms only accounts for the near surface soil layers, generally the top 5cm. Passive microwave data at L-band (1.4 GHz, 21cm wavelength) measurements are shown to be a very effective observation for surface soil moisture retrieval. An optimization model is developed for the Backpropagation Neural Network model. This optimization model utilizes the combination of the mean and standard deviation of the soil moisture values, together with the prediction process at different pre-determined, equal size regions to cope with the spatial and...

Surface Runoff and Soil Loss Under Varying Rainfall Intensity
ISBN: 9783844303568 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Mau forest complex has experienced forest destruction to make room for cultivation from as early as 1970s. This has had a disastrous effect on forest cover. The changing land use has resulted in reduced water retention capacity and increased soil erosion in the catchment. Consequently very large peaks and low flows with frequent drying up in the lower reaches are common in River Njoro. Due to increased erosion, the river deposits so much sediments into Lake Nakuru. The study investigated the effect of rainfall intensity on soil erosion and surface runoff on different land use practices....

Appropriate Technique for Landfill Leachate Treatment
ISBN: 9783845402666 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The composition of landfill leachate is complex due to the conditions within a landfill and treatment methods must be based on the actual characteristics of the leachate. This book, therefore, investigates various operating conditions for minimizing required Fenton reagents and sludge disposal and maximizing chemical oxygen demand as well as colour removal from the leachate. A number of combined treatment processes are also developed in order to maximize the removal of organic compounds through the most appropriate one. Samples were collected from Matuail landfill site, one of the major...

Automated Management of Construction Projects
ISBN: 9783845408392 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Construction projects are extremely complex and often take place in an uncontrolled and dynamic environment where each project goes through several phases leading to completion. In addition, projects in this industry suffer from quality problems, cost over-runs, and delays, which can be traced back to the lack of accurate and real-time information amongst the players. Because of this, modern construction management requires real-time and accurate information for sharing amongst all the parties involved, to undertake efficient and effective planning as well as execution of the projects. This...

Arsenic and Trace Element Calamities in Cambodia
ISBN: 9783838323718 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cambodia, groundwater in Kandal province was more significantly polluted by As, Mn, Fe and Ba than that in Kratie and Kampong Cham provinces. The computation of risks through drinking water pathway indicated that the residents of Kandal province confronted to more elevated toxic and carcinogenic risks than those of Kratie and Kampong Cham provinces. The higher arsenic accumulations in the bodies of Kandal residents were induced by the higher individual ADD of arsenic, derived from ingesting the extremely high As levels in groundwater. However, arsenic accumulation rates might vary among...
