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, …

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 …
