Characterization and anaerobic treatment of leachates generated by Jebel Chakir landfill has been carried out. The characterization shows that leachates contain high concentration of carbon and nitrogen. The total volatile fatty acid (VFA) represents 30% of total organic carbon. The COD reduction du

Fouling from the biomass present in seawater is a major drawback in the operation of marine reverse osmosis plants. Much in-plant work has been carried out to reduce or alleviate the problems, and there are some tools that can be used for assessing the probability of water causing biofouling. Howeve

This study investigates the influence of widely ranged soil cadmium and nickel content on the biomass quantity and quality produced by Arundo donax L. (giant reed). The aim was to determine whether giant reed is hypertolerant to these heavy metals and therefore could exploit polluted sites, which co

Wastewater from olive mills in Jordan has been characterized and treated using a lab scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). It was found that this wastewater has an average COD:N:P ratio of about 900:5:1.7. At this ratio, the wastewater was found to have sufficient nutrients that it was no
