DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | R. Rajeshkannan; M. Rajasimman; N. Rajamohan | In this study, the use of wheat bran as possible adsorbent has been successfully demonstrated in the removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters such as temperature, adsorbent dose, contact time... | 1 - 23 |
Vortex in baffled surface aerator
DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | Bimlesh Kumar | Baffled surface aerator and mixing tanks are different on the basis of the rotor placement. In mixing tanks, rotors are placed very deep in the tank, thus vortex creation can be prevented by placing the baffles. By definition, rotors are pl... | 24 - 33 |

DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | A.K. Bajpai; Priyanka Agrawal | The present study investigates the utility of iron oxide impregnated nanoparticles of carboxymethyl cellulose for removing Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solutions by batch and continuous (fixed bed) column adsorption. The maximum adsorption of ... | 55 - 78 |
Different methods for stabilisation of sand dunes using calcium bentonite
DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | M. Aboushook; M.N. Al-Maghrabi; A. Fadol; G.S. Abdelhaffez | Sand dunes movement in the Arabian arid area hinder land development, expansion of city limits, and diversely affects rural roads, farms, irrigation, and grazing. Early attempts to curb sand movement used agriculture schemes required contin... | 79 - 91 |
Combinative treatment (thermal-anaerobic) of EBPR sludge for the enhanced release and recovery of phosphorous
DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | S. Esakki Raj; S. Kaliappan; S. Adish Kumar; J. Rajesh Banu | In the present study an attempt has been made to recover phosphorus in the presence of poly P and to disintegrate sludge through combinative treatment. Primarily the sludge was treated by thermal method at a temperature range of 40° to... | 92 - 104 |
Sustainability issues in the water supply sector of urban India: implications for developing countries
DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | Mukul Kulshrestha; Amit Vishwakarma; Sanjay Sitaram Phadnis; Tripta Thakur | Rapid urbanisation, growing cities, high population growths, public ownerships of utilities, misgovernance and malpractices, poverty, subsidies, lack of adequate finances, and inefficient operations etc. are some of the common problems char... | 105 - 136 |
Actual scale experiment of selector application and the situation of bulking sludge problem in southern Thailand
DOI: 10.1504/IJEE.2012.048100 | Panalee Chevakidagarn; Duangporn Kantachote; Udomphon Puetpaiboon | Activated Sludge Process (ASP) was applied to effluent from factories in southern Thailand. To increase their treatability using a limited land area for the treatment plant, the ASP was mainly designed for carbon removal. A survey of 17 was... | 137 - 144 |
