Abstract:: ... Pesticides are an important part of crop production worldwide, however their use poses a threat to potable water sources. Seasonal use of pesticides can cause increased concentrations to be detected at potable water abstraction sites as a shock load which can be difficult for conventional treatment processes to deal with. Concentrations of pesticides above 0.1 µg/L in drinking water contravene the ...

Abstract:: ... Biochar is a stable carbon-rich product synthesized from biological materials through different heating techniques. The main aim of this review is to evaluate various biochar production methods, parameters affecting the production of biochar, facilities to investigate the composition and structure of biochar, mechanism associated with production of biochar as well as various modification procedure ...

Abstract:: ... The integration of hybrid water systems (HWS) into the traditional supply networks is closely linked to achieving sustainable water provision for ever-expanding urban developments. These systems aim to utilise locally occurring water sources by collecting and using water within a discrete boundary. Alternative water technologies such as greywater and rainwater collection systems can reduce pressur ...

Abstract:: ... Water production has become a serious concern nowadays due to many environmental and social factors. Conventional desalination processes are considered as energy-intensive, as energy consumption represents 50–60% of water production cost. As an example, multistage flash evaporation (MSF), requires 19.58–27.25 kWhₑ/m³, and reverse osmosis (RO) 1.5–6 kWhₑ/m³. Thus, developing forward osmosis (FO), a ...
