Temporal Monitoring of Drinking Water’s Quality for Adjustment of the Production Station: Case of Gagnoa Drinking Water Treatment Station, Ivory Coast
Abstract: The frequent refusal of local populations to consume tap water, despite the financial resources deployed by the State, constitutes a headache for managers who have to choose between customer satisfaction and the search for profits. The quality (chemical and organoleptic) of the water offered by the managers of drinking water networks is one of the causes of this refusal. The objective of this study is to use the Jar Test …

Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies of Adsorption of Pb (II) by Using Ferrous Sulphide as an Adsorbent
Abstract: Poisoning of lead is causing a serious threat to the environment. In the present study the adsorption behaviour of lead was studied in detail by ferrous sulphide in granular form. Ferrous sulphide has the magnetic properties and makes it a better candidate for lead removal. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out by varying different process parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, and temperature. Lead adsorption by ferrous sulphide …

Study of Converting Covid-19 Plastic Waste into Fuel with Automated Temperature Monitoring of Pyrolysis Process
Abstract: Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, medical initial responders and health care workers have relied on plastic-based, single-use personal protective equipment (PPE) like masks and gowns to protect themselves from the coronavirus. The result has been quickly growing into a mountain ofplastic waste. Due to the difficulty of their natural disintegration at room temperature, once these plastic materials are released into the environment, they end up in landfills or the …

A Review on Adverse Effects of Herbicides and Pesticides on Environment
Abstract: Pesticides can contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation. Insecticides are generally the most acutely toxic class of pesticides, but herbicides can also pose risks to non-target organisms. The environment includes all of the living and non-living things that surround us, including the air, water, plants, soil and wildlife. Pesticides can be helpful in dealing with pests in our environment such as controlling invasive plant species that threaten native habitats. …

Electronic Waste Vs Environmental Sustainability: Global Ultimatum to Society
Abstract: We often suppose that the risks of electronic waste solely have an effect on us which come back directlywith it and are in the main a consequence of inappropriate handling. Obviously, this can be right andthere are many studies that proof the risks ensuing from direct contact with harmful materialscomparable to lead, metal or chromium. The studies together alert us concerning however differentelements, let's say brominated flame retardants generate toxic …

Newly developed closed ecological cycle for solving environmental problems and obtaining high-quality biofuels
Abstract: Stagnant "green" zones of freshwater lakes, resulting from the excessive reproduction of phytoplankton in sunlit, stagnant waters, present a grave environmental hazard by causing the demise of phytoplankton and fish, and releasing hydrogen sulfide, rendering the water unsuitable for agricultural purposes. In this regard, the development of a closed ecological cycle, including the concentration of phytoplankton from the "green water" of the lake, which allows using most of the phytoplanktonconcentrate …

Use of Pesticides leads to Environmental degradation
Abstract: Pesticides are extensively used for agriculture but residues can reach aquaticecosystems, frequently. They are transferred from pytoplankton to fish and human, ultimately. Pyrethroid insecticides are utilized in place of organochlorine,organophosphorus and carbonate to control different forms of pests and raise yield. Pyrethroid intoxication causes cellular damage and increases freeradicals, which leads to lipid peroxidation and, ultimately, oxidative stress.To reduce damage to environment and biologicalsystems by pesticides should be played attention …

The new method of purification of the industrial waste waters
Abstract: The main problem in the all existing electrofloatation methods of cleaning is the increase of the alkalization space near the cathode that leads to formation of the salts sediments on the cathode as a result of passing of the electric current through the water environment. The salts so tightly cover cathode’s surface that can cause the total curtailment of the process of electrofloatation. This can be explained by the fact …
