Degradation

Using the phenol enrichment cultivation method, we succeeded in screening a few bacterial strains with a varied ability for utilizing phenol as the sole carbon source from pharmaceutical disposal wastewaters plant. Among these strains, a potent phenol-degrading bacterium, assigned Pseudomonas sp. SA

The microwave (MW) irradiation process has been developed to treat wastewater of methamidophos production. The different oxidants are used as catalyst. A variety of factors affecting MW degradation in the presence of oxidants were studied. The best degradation ratio of methamidophos can be obtained

The decolorization and degradation of Rhodamine B (RB) were investigated using UV radiation in the presence of H2O2 in a batch photoreactor at different light intensities. H2O2 and UV light have a negligible effect when they were used on their own. Removal efficiency of RB was sensitive to the opera

Biodiesel can be used to reduce the emission pollution from diesel engines. The improvement of fuel properties through the use of (1% by wt) ozonated vegetable oil for neat biodiesel was evaluated. The pour point of biodiesel prepared from methanol transesterification of sunflower oil, linseed oil,

Reactive dyes are extensively used in the last years due to their superior performance, but they are environmentally hazardous. In the present work, the decolorization and degradation of commercial reactive azo dyes (Procion Navy H-exl, Procion Crimson H-exl and Procion Yellow H-exl) were studied us

The objective of this work is to understand the physical and chemical properties of the standard cure copolymer ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA), used as encapsulant, during photovoltaic module encapsulation process and also in field exposure of Algerian Sahara as specific desert climate. EVA samples ar
