An automated experimental setup was developed to measure the spectral irradiance of new low pressure (LP) ultraviolet lamp (UV). The experimental analysis was performed by the measurement of the UV intensity along the ...

Sand jets and particle clouds are common in many engineering areas such as marine bed capping, dredging, and artificial island construction. Because of the wide range of their application, a better understanding of particle ...

Electrokinetic remediation is an emerging in-situ technology for cleaning contaminated soil. The contaminants are mobilized by passing a low-level direct current between a row of positively charged electrodes (anode) and ...

Lignin is one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth, constituting approximately 30% of the dry weight of softwoods and 20% of hardwoods. It is a renewable, non-toxic, commercially available and low cost natural resource ...

Escherichia coli is regularly used as a fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in recreational waters but its persistence in the environment brings its use into doubt. A secondary FIB known as Bacteroides has been under a lot of ...

The hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. The research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ...

Canada is known for its abundant forests and thriving forest products industry. For every ton of paper produced in mills across the country, approximately 30 kg of dry primary sludge is produced. The dry sludge is then ...

Mercury is a known contaminant in the North Harbour of Lake Superior due to the decommissioned “Thunder Bay Fine Papers” pulp and paper mill. The cause for concern for organisms in the lake and for humans occurs when ...

In such industrial processes as oxidation, hydrogenation, and biological fermentation gas and liquid are contacted and mixed to reach steady condition. The unit operations applied for gas/liquid processes include but are ...

Kraft lignin is water insoluble and has limited end-use applications. The main objective of this MSc studies was to rend kraft lignin water soluble, and various value-added products including dispersants and flocculants. ...
