Analysis of the Degradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in a Polluted Stagnant Salt and Fresh Water Environment
Abstract: TPH dispersion in both water media was investigated using a transport model that included convective and diffusion factors. This model was used to track the TPH concentration in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. Therefore, it was expected that diffusion alone would regulate TPH transport or spreading in the x-direction, or horizontal direction, while diffusion and convection caused by gravity would control TPH transport in the vertical direction. As a result, …

Development of Superabsorbent Polymers from Natural Sources
Abstract: Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are special materials that can absorb and hold a very large amount of water compared to their own weight. They are commonly used in products such as baby diapers, sanitary items, agriculture, and wastewater treatment. Most of the SAPs used today are made from petroleum-based chemicals. These materials do not easily break down in nature and may cause environmental pollution. Therefore, it is important to develop safer …
