Impact of combined oil-in-water emulsions and particulate suspensions on ceramic membrane fouling and permeability recovery by Abdalla M.

“…Results showed the addition of suspended solids to the o/w emulsion to be extremely deleterious to sustaining both the permeability and selectivity of the membrane. The addition of 1500 mg·L−1 of bentonite to a 10 vol.% emulsion resulted in a permeability decrease of 3.5–5 times over that recorded for the emulsion, and 8–36 times lower than that of the bentonite suspension. …”

High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process by Feki, Emna

“…Following EF pretreatment, the pH, conductivity, soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), and volatile fatty acids (VFA) increased to 7.5, 13.72 mS/cm, 4.1 g/L, and 925 mg/L, respectively. Capillary suction time (CST) analysis highlighted the dewaterability effect of EF on WAS, as demonstrated by the decrease in CST from 429 to 180 s following 30 min of pretreatment. …”

Evacuation under flooded conditions: Experimental investigation of the influence of water depth on walking behaviors by Dias, Charitha

“…To propose guidelines for evacuation planning during floods and to develop simulation tools, which can be used in evacuation planning, empirical data are needed under different flooding conditions. However, there is a lack of data and studies on such aspects. This study examines the influence of water depth on human walking behaviors under hydrostatic conditions using the data collected through a controlled laboratory experiment. …”
