Recent peat failures in Ireland in the autumn of 2003 at Pollatomish, County Mayo
and Derrybrien, County Galway have focused attention on such events. However, peat
failures are not a recent phenomenon with possible ...
This paper describes the development of a
model to analyse the rate of infiltration and run-off
experienced by a partly saturated soil slope during
rainfall. The paper first reviews some of the most
popular infiltration ...
Alternative conditioning of aluminium-based drinking water treatment sludge using Fenton reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) was examined in this study. Focuses were placed on effectiveness and factors to affect such novel application of ...
As a biomass material, bone char was investigated for the feasibility to be used as a cost-effective biosorbent for fluoride removal from drinking water in groundwater environment. Based on the batch tests with natural ...
In line with the increasing studies on the beneficial reuse of alum sludge from a “waste” into useful raw material, this paper reports an in-depth investigation of the effects of ageing time on the structure and the phosphate ...
The purpose of this study is to optimize adsorption conditions of powdered alum sludge (PAS) as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of three P-species (ortho-P, poly-P and organic-P) from wastewater using the response surface ...
The aluminium content in dewatered aluminium-coagulated water treatment residual (DAC-WTR) can lead to a high phosphorus (P) removal capacity. Therefore, DAC-WTR has been used as adsorbent/soil amendment to remove P in ...
In this paper, two laboratory scale simulated reed beds were investigated for the purpose of assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of using dewatered alum sludge as a possible substrate for wastewater treatment reed ...
For the purpose of synthesizing a compendium of efforts aimed at environmental pollution control through the use of constructed wetlands systems (CWs) in Ireland, a detailed review of CWs was undertaken. Emphasis was placed ...
Inherent to digital phase-locked loops is frequency quantization in the number-controlled oscillator which prevents the loop from locking exactly onto its reference signal and introduces unwanted phase jitter. This paper ...
