Heavy metal concentrations in two mangrove species grown in the UAE region and use of phytoremediation technology
Abstract: The mangrove vegetation of Eastern region of UAE, rhizosphere root, leaf, stem and soil sediments of two mangrove types studied for the levels of Cr, Cu, Cd, Mn, Ni, Zn and Pb in the eastern Emirates region. The analysis was carried out with FAAS spectroscopy using microwave digestion technique. The two mangrove plants are most abundant in this region. the bioconcentration factor (BCF) > 1 metal content was quantized. It …

Use of the electroflotation for oil spill or oil products cleanup from sea or waste water as a new environmental technology
Abstract: Among the existing today methods of cleaning of oil spill and oil products from sea or waste water most perspective for cost-effective and highly effective properties is the electroflotation. However, main problem in the all existing electroflotation methods of cleaning is the increase of the saltiness of the space near the cathode as a result of passing of the electric current through the sea or waste water that covers cathode’s …

Assessment of THMs Formation Potential in Treated Water
Abstract: Raw water in the Saidabad water treatment plant is treated by chlorination. Water samples were collected in February, March, July and September from the six locations of DND canal and treated by chlorine dose. Higher chlorine dose is required in dry season. The treated samples are tested for dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chloride and bromide ions. Using the test results, Trihalomethane (THM) predictive models are developed. Total THM formation is …

Presence of Chemical Ions in Raw and Treated Water
Abstract: Dhaka water supply and sewerage authority utilizes a section of the DND canal from Sarulia to Kajla to convey raw water from the Shitalakhya river to the water treatment plant at Saidabad. Raw water quality is poor mostly in the dry season. High heavy metal concentration in the water at the intake point is found. Aluminum (Al), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and Mercury (Hg) are detected in river water which …
