In this study, a pilot biotrickling filter (BTF) was installed in Dryer Thermal Cutout a wastewater treatment plant to treat real biogas.The biogas flow rate was between 1 and 5 m3·h−1 with an H2S inlet load (IL) between 35.1 and 172.4 gS·m−3·h−1.The effects of the biogas flow rate, trickling liquid velocity (TLV) a
Methane and CO2 consumption from a synthetic waste gas by microbial communities in enriched seawater
Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are potent greenhouse gases produced as waste in carbon-based fuel processes.This study investigates the use of natural microbial communities to consume CH4 and CO2 and convert these gases into biomass.Seawater enriched with nutrients was exposed to a gas stream containing CH4 and CO2 under either light or dar
Effect of Using Windows Waste Glass as Fine Aggregate on Some Properties of Concrete
Chair The main goal of this study is to investigate the effect of using waste glass (WG) on some mechanical properties of concrete at both fresh and hardened stages.In our study, we used local windows waste glass (WG) as partial replacement of fine aggregates with 0, 20, 25, and 30% percentages (by weight).The experimental results obtained from tes
Nonlinear optical absorption of non-spherical silver nanoparticles and organic dyes mixtures
We study the features of the nonlinear optical response of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) of spherical and triangular shapes synthesized using a citrate-borohydride approach and their mixtures with methylene blue (MB+).The Z-scans at the wavelengths of 532 nm using 10 Pencil Sharpeners ns pulses were used to analyze the nonlinear optical absorption
A prospective study of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among individuals involved in academic research under limited operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
BackgroundEarly in the pandemic, transmission risk from asymptomatic infection was unclear, making it imperative to monitor infection in workplace settings.Further, data on SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence within university populations Hoodies/Fleece has been limited.MethodsWe performed a longitudinal study of University research employees on campus July-
